# GitLab Self-Managed Integration[¶](#gitlab-self-managed-integration "Permanent link")

Connect your GitLab Self-Managed repositories to Capawesome Cloud to streamline your workflow for Live Updates and Native Builds. This integration allows Capawesome Cloud to access your source code from your self-hosted GitLab instance and automate deployments directly from your repository.

## Prerequisites[¶](#prerequisites "Permanent link")

Before you begin, ensure you have:

* A [Capawesome Cloud](https://console.cloud.capawesome.io) account with an app created.
* Access to a GitLab Self-Managed instance.

## Create a personal access token[¶](#create-a-personal-access-token "Permanent link")

To connect your GitLab Self-Managed instance to Capawesome Cloud, you need to create a personal access token with the appropriate permissions. Make sure the token owner has at least the **Reporter** role on the project you want to connect.

1. Log in to your GitLab Self-Managed instance.
2. In the upper-right corner, click on your avatar and select **Preferences**.
3. In the left sidebar, select **Personal access tokens**.
4. Click the **Add new token** button.
5. Enter a descriptive name for the token (e.g., "Capawesome Cloud").
6. Set an expiration date for the token (optional, but recommended for security).
7. Select the following scopes: `api`, `read_user` and `read_repository`.
8. Click **Create personal access token**.
9. Copy the generated token immediately and store it securely. You will not be able to see it again.

You will use this token when connecting your GitLab Self-Managed instance to Capawesome Cloud in the next step.

## Connect your repository[¶](#connect-your-repository "Permanent link")

To connect your GitLab Self-Managed repository to Capawesome Cloud, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the [Git](https://console.cloud.capawesome.io/apps/%5F/git) page in the Capawesome Cloud Console.
2. Click on the **GitLab** tab in the **Git Providers** section.
3. A dialog will appear prompting you to enter your GitLab Self-Managed instance URL and token. Fill in the required information and click **Connect**.
4. After connecting, select **GitLab Self-Managed** as your Git provider within the **Git Repositories** section.
5. Choose an owner (group) and select the repository you want to connect to Capawesome Cloud.
6. Click the **Save** button to finalize the integration.

Your GitLab Self-Managed repository is now connected to Capawesome Cloud.
