Just a small project to automatically build latex projects using GitLab webhooks.

• copy all files to /var/www/latex-builder/.
• make hook.sh, build.sh executable
• install php
• change settings in api.php (change your secretkey!)

Use nano /etc/crontab to add the following line to your crontab:

*/5 *   * * *   root    cd /var/www/latex-builder/hook/ && /bin/bash ./hook.sh

To insert a job in the processing queue add a webhook in Gitlab

http://path-to.latex-builder.com/hook/api.php?k=secretkey

You can now wait and see your builds under:

http://path-to.latex-builder.com/

Therefore, you just need to enter the groupname and projectname. If the GitLab url is

https://gitlab.example.com/admin/example

you need to enter admin as groupname and example as projectname.
