Gitlab with non-standard SSH port (on VM with Iptable forwarding)

Question

My gitlab is on a virtual machine on a host server. I reach the VM with a non-standard SSH port (i.e. 766) which an iptable rule then forward from

Answer 1

N.B.: this was tested on an old Giltab version (v5-v6), and might not be suitable for modern instance.

You can achieve similar behavior in a 2 step process:

1. Edit: config/gitlab.yml

On the server, set the port to the one you use:

ssh_port: 766

2. Edit ~/.ssh/config

On your machine, add the following section corresponding to your gitlab:

Host sub.domain.com
        Port 766

Limit

You will need to repeat this operation on each user's computer…
