In order to connect your LinearB application to GitLab server (on-prem) you will need to do the following:

Select GitLab Server as your Git provider

In the source control selection dialog select GitLab Server.

IP Whitelisting

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

In order for LinearB to be able to access your private network, you will need to add LinearB’s public IP as a whitelisted source in your network firewall.

• LinearB’s public IP addresses:
  • 52.15.80.85
  • 18.118.232.229

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

Insert your GitLab server URL

Once you whitelist LinearB IP in your network insert your GitLab's server URL. LinearB will automatically check connectivity to your GitLab server. Once the connection is established you will be able to move to the next stage
