## Installation

First, register a new system application in GitLab by visiting `/admin/applications/new`.  
The redirect URI is of the form:

```plaintext
https://discourse.example.com/auth/gitlab/callback

```

Add the plugin’s repository url to your container’s `app.yml` file:

```plaintext
hooks:
  after_code:
    - exec:
        cd: $home/plugins
        cmd:
          - mkdir -p plugins
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
          - git clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/discourse-omniauth-gitlab.git

```

Rebuild the container by providing the APP\_ID, SECRET and GitLab url values:

```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
git pull origin master
GITLAB_APP_ID=gitlabtestid GITLAB_SECRET=gitlabtestsecret GITLAB_URL=https://git.example.com ./launcher rebuild app

```

Otherwise you can add these variables in `app.yml` under the `env` section.
