Review step fails in auto deploy on kubernetes executor (bare metal cluster)

GitLab CI/CD
1

Check this snippet out for how I set up my cluster: https://gitlab.com/snippets/1674542

I’m on gitlab 9.5.4, Kubernetes 1.6.9, and attempting to use the following Dockerfile and .gitlab-ci.yml to deploy a static website from gitlab

Dockerfile:

# This file is a template, and might need editing before it works on your project.
FROM httpd:alpine

RUN rm -rf srcimages
COPY ./ /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/

.gitlab-ci.yml:

# This file is a template, and might need editing before it works on your project.
# Explanation on the scripts:

stages:

  - review

  - production
  - cleanup

  script:

  environment:

  stage: staging
  script:

  environment:
    name: staging

    - master

review:
  stage: review
  script:
    - command deploy
  environment:
    name: review/$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
    url: http://$CI_PROJECT_PATH_SLUG-$CI_ENVIRONMENT_SLUG.$KUBE_DOMAIN
    on_stop: stop_review
  only:
    - branches
  except:
    - master

stop_review:
  stage: cleanup
  variables:

  script:
    - command destroy
  environment:
    name: review/$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
    action: stop
  when: manual
  only:
    - branches
  except:
    - master

The build step works, and I have an image posted to my container registry (127 MB!)

However, the review step fails with the following:

Unable to connect to the server: malformed HTTP response "\x15\x03\x01\x00\x02\x02"
ERROR: Job failed: error executing remote command: command terminated with non-zero exit code: Error executing in Docker Container: 1

I looked at the source code of the Kubernetes executor’s deploy command at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-examples/kubernetes-deploy/blob/master/deploy but I couldn’t identify what’s trying to connect to which HTTP server. The autogenerated review URL goes to “default backend - 404” and I don’t see any pods in my kubernetes cluster that correspond to the review, so I don’t know where it got hung up.
