Gitlab On-prem Connection Guide

To connect the Typo application to the GitLab server (on-prem), you will need to do the following:

Step 1: IP Whitelisting

If your GitLab Server instance is available from the public internet, you can skip this step.

For Typo to be able to access your private network, you will need to add Typo’s public IP as a whitelisted source in your network firewall.

Typo’s public IP addresses:

18.207.42.84
3.223.63.104

In case your network is behind a VPN, it is standard to have some reverse proxy that allows Typo-specific access to GitLab Server.

Step 2: Share your GitLab server URL

Once you whitelist Typo IP in your network, share your GitLab server URL. The typo will automatically check connectivity to your GitLab server. Once the connection is established you will be able to move to the next step Example - https://git.companyname.co

Step 3: Create a Personal Access Token

1. Log in to GitLab Server.

2. In the upper-right corner, click your avatar and select Settings.

3. On the User Settings menu, select Access Tokens.

4. Choose a name and optional expiry date for the token.
