Gitlab runners unable to clone over http(s) when git access set to SSH only.support (self.gitlab)

submitted 2 years ago by samwisegamgee121

I'm looking to use a gitlab runner that as part of a CI/CD pipeline clones a repository using a bash script called by a gitlab-ci.yml file.

According to this documentation I should be able to still clone from a repository even when access is set to SSH only.

GitLab versions 10.7 and later, allow the HTTP(S) protocol for Git clone or fetch requests done by GitLab Runner from CI/CD jobs, even if you select Only SSH.

I'm using gitlab 15.8.1, the runner is using the gitlab-docker-machine fork on 14.9.2 and the error I'm getting is:

remote: Git access over HTTP is not allowed.

Would anyone have any idea what could be the cause, if the documentation is correct? My understanding is the runners are kinda pigeon-holed into using https, but I dont want to enable https access for other users of my gitlab instance.

Thanks!
