On which port runner connects to the gitlab server

shashipratap · July 21, 2020, 4:22pm

HI ,
i came across posts on forum that runner continuously polls the server over https for any details and not the other way around.
In this case on which port does it poll the server 443 or any default port ?
I have a firewall between runner and server , i need to know which flow i should get opened.
Any info with you guys?

Hi,

the runner communicates via the REST API with the GitLab server. Since the REST API is running on the same port where you access https, you do not need to open an extra port for this. Best is to allow inbound and outbound traffic for tcp/443.

Cheers,
