Templates as a config respository

[Hans Dampf]

Hi,

because we have our templates for the pipelines in gitlab and there is currently a copy job for it to transfer the saved templates on to the gocd master server.

Is there a way to configure this in the same way as pipelines and env config as a config repository?

Regards

Hiya Hans

Its not possible to directly define GoCD templates as 'pipelines as code', assuming that is what you are referring to.

You could

- build custom automation triggers that update source controlled JSON templates via GoCD APIs

- or you could explore config repo plugins that better support templating conceptually (e.g Groovy, jsonnet - but come with their own downsides)

- or you could use an intermediary step to translate your templates to regular yaml|json config repo format

- write your own config repo plugin 😅

See https://github.com/gocd/gocd/issues/5675 fir some more discussion/background.
