SSH based gitlab access does not works when gitlab is setup in below manner

To setup gitlab on CentOS 7.x use bitnami KVM stack available at https://bitnami.com/stack/gitlab/virtual-machine Steps are:

  1. Download the bitnami stack ova file and create VM using CentOS 7.x import ova file based VMs to KVM
  2. Login into VM console with username bitnami and change console password
  3. Login into bitnami web UI http://<IP> using username root and password displayed on VM console. Same can be seen in file bitnami_credentials in home folder of bitnami user at any time
  4. Go to admin area /admin in URL or click on spanner icon in menu
  5. Create user with admin privileges
  6. Again edit created user and put temporary password (User would be forced to change it after first login)
  7. Login with newly create admin user. Change temporary password to desired password.

After this create project and optionally initialize git repository. Note that since certificate is self-signed for cloning disable certificate check as explained at Miscellaneous git issues

Other option is to install gitlab in lxc container using CentOS 7.x gitlab on lxc container
