Hi

I used the gitlab.crt file from the server where gitlab is hosted.

I got this error:

Runner is communicating with gitlab, supposed to be internal communication, should be easy for gitlab. those issues should not come to users.

Please help.

Thanks.

John.

Hi @springile
You have IP address of GitLab server instead of domain. Put a FQDN into the configuration, not IP address. Your DNS setup should be working.

Then, if you are using self-signed certificates or certificates signed by custom CA, you need to deal with the SSL trusts yourself. But in such case you already have the certificate that was used in GitLab server, because GitLab will use Let’s encrypt if no custom certificate is specified.
