Gitlab project Terraform module

This module is built upon the gitlabhq/gitlab provider, and is used to create a new Gitlab projects (aka Git repository) under an existing group. It reduces the boilerplate and has better security flags raised by default.

-> The group can be created or imported using gitlab_group

Examples

Create one repository

Pretty simple, add the following block and replace the values accordingly.

module "project" {
  source  = "willianpaixao/project/gitlab"
  version = "~> 1.0.1"

  name         = "My New Pet project"
  description  = "Yet another project I will never finish"
  namespace_id = gitlab_group.some-group.id
  tags         = ["pet", "unfinished"]
}

Create many repositories under the same subgroup

The usage consists of two simple steps, first define your variable in variables.tf then add the module block to your code, referencing the source as following:

variable "project" {
  description = "list of attributes of a project"
  type        = map(any)
  default = {
    your-shiny-project = {
      name        = "your-shiny-project"
      description = "A descriptive description"
      tags        = ["tagA", "tagB"]
  }
}

module "subgroup_projects" {
  source  = "willianpaixao/project/gitlab"
  version = "~> 1.0.1"

  for_each = var.project

  name         = each.value.name
  description  = each.value.description
  namespace_id = gitlab_group.some-group.id
  tags         = setunion(["subgroup"], each.value.tags)
}

Setting a list of project owners

data "gitlab_user" "owners" {
  for_each = toset(["user1", "user2", "user3"])
  username = each.value
}

module "api" {
  source  = "willianpaixao/project/gitlab"
  version = "~> 1.0.1"

  name               = "api"
  description        = "REST API"
  namespace_id       = gitlab_group.some-group.id
  approvals_required = 3
  owners             = [for user in data.owners.users : user.id]
  tags               = "api"
}

resource "gitlab_project_membership" "owners" {
  for_each     = [for user in data.owners.users : user.id]

  project_id   = module.api.id
  user_id      = each.key
  access_level = "owners"
}

That's it! Run terraform plan and check the output to see if matches your recent changes.
