ORT for GitLab

This repository holds the scripts needed to run OSS Review Toolkit (ORT) inside a GitLab pipeline.

Installation

Prerequisites

Before you can use ORT for GitLab or its ort-scan job, you first need to:

  1. Mirror this repository and the ORT configuration repository in your GitLab account
  2. Build your own version of the ORT Docker image:
  • In your mirror of this repository navigate to CI/CD > Pipelines
  • Click the Run pipeline button
  • Find and set REBUILD_DOCKER_IMAGE to 'true'
  • Click the Run pipeline button
  • Wait until ort-build-image completes successfully
  1. Generate ORT_TRIGGER_API_TOKEN, ORT_READ_API_TOKEN and ORT_MR_API_TOKEN access tokens to use ORT for GitLab in your project(s) pipelines:
  • Create a personal access token for a bot/user with access to the ort-gitlab-ci repository with name ORT_READ_API_TOKEN, set role to 'developer' and enable scope 'read_api'
  • Create a personal access token token for a bot/user with access to repositories you want to scan with name ORT_MR_API_TOKEN, set role to 'developer' and enable scope 'api'
  • Create a new trigger token named ORT_TRIGGER_API_TOKENin your mirror of ort-gitlab-ci repository, navigate to Settings > CI/CD and expand Pipeline triggers:
    • Add trigger with as a description ORT_TRIGGER_API_TOKEN
    • The value for ORT_TRIGGER_API_TOKEN will be shown in the table under the Token column
  • Store the tokens somewhere safe
  • Add ORT_TRIGGER_API_TOKEN and ORT_READ_API_TOKEN as masked variables to the projects to be scanned or their parent group
  • In your mirror of ort-gitlab-ci repository, navigate to Settings > CI/CD and expand Variables:
    • Add as a masked variable ORT_MR_API_TOKEN
    • Add ORT_MR_USERNAME with as value the name user/bot for the author of scan results comment in a merge request

Getting started

ORT for GitLab or ort-scan job can be used in two ways:

  1. Run it manually via CI/CD > Pipelines page, or
  2. Include the job in your project's .gitlab-ci.yml and run it during a merge request or scheduled pipeline

Run ORT scan manually

  1. In your mirror of this repository, navigate to the CI/CD > Pipelines page
  2. Click the Run pipeline button
  3. In the pipeline variables form, fill in at least the following required fields:
    • SW_NAME: Name of project, product or component to be scanned
    • SW_VERSION: Project version number or release name (use the version from package metadata, not VCS revision)
    • VCS_TYPE: Identifier of the project version control system (git, git-repo, mercurial or subversion)
    • VCS_URL: VCS URL (clone URL) of project to scan
    • VCS_REVISION: SHA1 or tag to scan (not branch names, because they can move)
  4. Click the Run pipeline button

Example

Assuming that you want to scan version 2.1.27 of the mime-types project, use the following values in step 3 above:

Note:

To scan GitHub projects using their SSH clone URL, you need to base64-encode the required SSH private keys and add the resulting strings as masked variables to your mirror of this repository. See setup-ssh.sh for the SSH_KEY variable names.

Include ORT scan in a project's pipeline

  1. Import the ORT for GitLab file via an include and then add the ort-scan to one of the stages in your .gitlab-ci.yml file.
include:
  - project: oss-review-toolkit/ort-gitlab-ci
    file: ort-gitlab-ci.yml

stages:
  - ort-scan
  1. Add ort-scan as a job to a project .gitlab-ci.yml and choose when to run it.

Example

ort-scan:
  stage: ort-scan
  retry: 2
  variables:
    SW_NAME: "Mime Types"
    SW_VERSION: "2.1.27"
  artifacts:
    reports:
      license_scanning: ort-results/gl-license-scanning-report.json
  rules:
    - if: '$CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event"'
      when: manual
      allow_failure: true
    - if: '$CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "schedule"'
  1. Set ORT_PROJECT_ID in ort-scan variables to the project ID of your mirror of this repository, its value can be found under Settings > General.
  2. Optionally, you can define the following ort-scan variables:
  • DISABLE_SHALLOW_CLONE: If set to 'true', the full history of the project is cloned. This option works only if VCS_TYPE is 'git'
  • ORT_ALLOW_DYNAMIC_VERSIONS: Enable only if dynamic dependency versions are allowed (note that version ranges specified for dependencies may cause unstable results). This field applies only to package managers that support lock files, e.g. NPM. Disabled by default. Set to 'true' to enable
  • ORT_CONFIG_FILE: Path to the repository configuration file relative to the VCS root. If empty, '.ort.yml' is used as default
  • ORT_DISABLE_EVALUATOR: If set to 'true', ORT's evaluator will not run (no policy checks)
  • ORT_DISABLE_SCANNER: If set to 'true', ORT's scanner will not run (no copyright holders and licenses scan)
  • ORT_POLLING_TIMEOUT: Total possible duration of ORT scan in seconds. Default is 1800 (30 minutes).
  • NOTICE_FILE: Path to open source attribution document relative to the VCS root. If empty 'FOSS_NOTICE' is used as default.
  • SW_NAME: Name of project, product or component to be scanned. By default the name of the repository is used as shown in its clone URL.
  • SW_VERSION: Project version number or release name (use the version from package metadata, not VCS revision). By default, the Git short SHA is used
  • VCS_URL: VCS URL (clone URL) of the project to scan, use only when URL is not correctly detected
