Widgetbook Cloud x Self-managed GitLab

This guide works for both GitLab self-managed and GitLab Dedicated.

If you want to use Widgetbook Cloud with your self-managed GitLab instance (e.g. gitlab.acme.dev), here's a pre-requisite guide to help you get started, then you can follow our normal Gitlab setup guide.

  • Create OAuth Application

    Create a new OAuth Application in your GitLab instance to authenticate your users with Widgetbook Cloud.

    Go to "Group Settings" > "Applications" > "Add new application". Then fill the form with the following information and click "Save application".

    FieldValue
    NameWidgetbook
    Redirect URIhttps://clerk.widgetbook.io/v1/oauth_callback
    Confidential
    Scopesapi - read_user - openid - profile - email
  • Send us the Information

    Send the following information to engineering@widgetbook.io:

    (*) Do not send the Application Secret as plain text as it is sensitive information. Instead, use a one-time shared link from your password or secret manager service (e.g. 1Password)
