Accessing Self-Managed GitLab

This guide with help you to setup up your environment in order to access the new self-managed GitLab instance accessible at https://git.eways.dev/.

Setup

1. Install cloudflared

2. Configure SSH to use cloudflared

   You need append the following lines to your SSH client configuration file:

   Host ssh.eways.dev
       ProxyCommand cloudflared access ssh --hostname %h
   

   On MacOS, and Linux, the file is located at ~/.ssh/config. On Windows, assuming Git is already installed, it should be located at C:\Program Files\Git\etc\ssh\ssh_config, or C:\Users\[User]\.ssh\config. See the following threads for more details:

   If you encountered errors related to cloudflared command not being available, try using its absolute path instead in the SSH config file ProxyCommand line.
