We have just created a trial account, and we wanted to start importing projects into vercel. We have an internal, self-hosted gitlab instance in our datacenters. It is internet accesible, but when we typed the URL into the box, it constantly says INVALID URL and we can’t continue.
I asked to your AI bot and it says my url apparently is valid. I know I have the option to use vercel client and push the code through our pipelines, but that’s not what I want to.
The Git integration bot can’t access a self-hosted GitLab instance. But you can use GitLab Pipelines and the Vercel CLI to automatically deploy. A lot of people use this strategy with GitHub as well because it lets them create a more customized deployment workflow.
That’s correct. We don’t natively support self hosted git repo.
A third party repo is a repo which doesn’t own by you, but publicly accessible. For example GitHub - vercel/vercel: Develop. Preview. Ship.. Once you import a third party public repo, it automatically creates a fork in your git account and start deploying on Vercel.
