INTEGRATION OF JENKINS AND GITLAB | DEMO | @S3CloudHub

HELLO , EVERYONE HERE IS THE VIDEO ABOUT INTEGRATION OF GITLAB PROJECT WITH JENKINS:
Integrating Jenkins and GitLab can help streamline your software development and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) processes. Jenkins is a popular CI/CD tool, and GitLab is a widely used Git repository management platform that also provides CI/CD capabilities. Here are the steps to integrate Jenkins and GitLab:

Prerequisites:

GitLab Account: You should have a GitLab account, and your project should be hosted on GitLab.

Jenkins Installed: Ensure Jenkins is installed and running on a server or machine that can access your GitLab repository.

Integration Steps:

Install Required Plugins:

Open your Jenkins dashboard.
Go to "Manage Jenkins" - "Manage Plugins."
In the "Available" tab, search for and install the following plugins:
"GitLab Plugin": This plugin provides integration with GitLab, allowing Jenkins to receive webhooks and trigger builds.
Configure GitLab Integration:

Go to "Manage Jenkins" -"Configure System."
Scroll down to the "GitLab" section and configure the following settings:
GitLab Web Hook: Check the "Enable authentication for '/project' end-point" option if you want to secure your webhooks with a token.
GitLab Connection: Add your GitLab server URL and credentials (API token or username/password).
Click the "Test Connection" button to ensure that Jenkins can connect to your GitLab instance.
Create a Jenkins Job:

Go to your Jenkins dashboard and click on "New Item" to create a new job.
Choose the "Freestyle project" or "Pipeline" type depending on your project's requirements.
Configure your job with the necessary build steps, triggers, and post-build actions.
Configure Webhooks in GitLab:

In your GitLab project, go to "Settings" - "Integrations."
In the "URL" field, enter the URL of your Jenkins server followed by /project/your-project-name.
Optionally, configure a secret token in Jenkins and GitLab to secure the webhook communication. This token should match the token configured in the Jenkins GitLab plugin.
Select the events that should trigger the webhook, typically "Push events" for code changes.
Test the Integration:

Make a code change in your GitLab repository and push it.
Jenkins should receive the webhook and trigger the configured job. You can check the build status in Jenkins.
Set Up Build Triggers (Optional):

You can configure additional build triggers, such as periodic builds or manual builds, based on your project's needs.

Thanks for this video, what should be the use case for integrating Gitlab with Jenkins, we can perform tasks in using any one of them, why we are integrating ?

when I paste the link into "Source Code Management" - Git - Repository URL ...I see red warning -
Failed to connect to repository : Command "git ls-remote -h -- returned status code 128:
stdout:
stderr: Host key verification failed.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I tried to choose Credentials, but it still does not work, can you help? what's the problem?
