Gitlab CI - ssh to docker container

GitLab CI/CD
1

i’ve been trying to use ssh to connect into my docker container which i use as a web server.

but when running ssh connect in gitlab CI, i am getting a time out

OpenSSH_7.6p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.1, OpenSSL 1.0.2n  7 Dec 2017
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 19: Applying options for *debug1: Connecting to x.x.x.x [x.x.x.x] port 5000.
debug1: connect to address x.x.x.x port 5000: Connection timed out
ssh: connect to host x.x.x.x port 5000: Connection timed out

my .gitlab.yml :

image: ubuntu:latest
before_script:
   - 'which ssh-agent || ( apt-get update -y && apt-get install openssh-client -y )'
   - eval $(ssh-agent -s)
   - ssh-add <(echo "$SSH_PRIVATE_KEY")
   - mkdir -p ~/.ssh
   - chmod 700 ~/.ssh

deploy_stage:
   stage: deploy
   environment: Staging
   only:
      - master
   script:
      - ssh -v -p 5000 toto@x.x.x.x "ls"

i am able to connect with any other shell, but not when using gitlab CI.
any idea on how to fix it ?

Hi
Do you use the shared runner from Gitlab ?
Is your server accesable from outside ?

If you use a shared runner, the server needs to be accesable from anywhere.

If you use your own runner, the server hosting the runner needs to be have acces to the server.
