Deployment failed with self-hosted gitlab repo

#1

Our team Netlify account is the business plan.
And we did connect the self-hosted repo(APP ID, ssh key was set up).
Btw, when build, this issue has occurred.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

As I see, this issue is very specific to Netlify being able to pull via SSH on a different url than the http endpoint.
Is there any way to solve this?

Any way to set custom ssh port for self-hosted Gitlab?

Hi @DarkoArnautov,

Before we dig in further, just to eliminate the primitive causes, could you please confirm if you’ve followed the guide: Self-hosted Git | Netlify Docs?

If that’s all good to go, could you check the permissions on port 22? Like in this thread, they had closed it off: Any way to set custom ssh port for self-hosted Gitlab?.

Hi, Hrishikesh.
Thanks for your response.

Yes, I did follow that guide.
Also, I did check that thread.

But, there is no way to fix this issue.

Hi @DarkoArnautov,

This would be possible with some additional config at the moment. Do you mind sharing your site name or ID or if that should be kept private, we could escalate this to helpdesk.
