# GitLab Auth
Before creating your container, you'll need to create a GitLab app for your organisation.
## Creating a GitLab app
From GitLab, click on your profile picture and chose "Preferences":
![Step 1](/nx-cloud/private/images/gitlab_step_1.png)
Then "Applications" from the left-hand menu:
![Step 2](/nx-cloud/private/images/gitlab_step_2.png)
Give the app a name. The authorization callback is the important bit. It needs to be in this form:
`[your-nx-cloud-url]/auth/gitlab/callback`
**Important:** Ensure there is **no backslash at the end of the "Redirect URI"** (i.e. it matches the above pattern)
![Step 3](/nx-cloud/private/images/gitlab_step_3.png)
Ensure you grant it the "`read_user`" scope:
![Step 4](/nx-cloud/private/images/gitlab_step_4.png)
Click "Save".
Once you create, keep a note of the Client ID and the Secret:

## Connect your Nx Cloud installation to your new app
Provide the following env variables to the `nx-cloud-api` container:
- `GITLAB_APP_ID`
- `GITLAB_APP_SECRET`
## On-premise GitLab
If you are running an on-premise version of GitLab, you will need to configure one additional environment variable:
`GITLAB_API_URL=https://custom-gitlab-instance.com`
This will point all the auth endpoints to your GitLab server (rather the public one).
