In our "old" Jenkins set-up things were simple: The Jenkins master and Satis were running on the same host thus Jenkins could easily invoke Satis via a command-line call. Unfortunately GitLab does not allow that. The only option which is currently available in GitLab is to trigger Satis via a webhook. Neither Satis itself or Satisfy which we actually use provide support for webhooks. Thus we extended Satisfy with a simple controller which invokes the Satis cli command.

Since we deal with quite a few repos containing a large amount of versions it slowed down the "build time". Obviously it does not make any sense to run Satis on a repo that has not changed. Since Satis was lacking this feature I started hacking on it and I am happy that the feature got merged into master this morning. If you have to deal with large repos or a large number of repos you might want to give it a try.This is how things work:
