Configuring Container Registry in gitlab over http - gitlab-ci

I'm trying to configure Container Registry in gitlab installed on my Ubuntu machine.
I have Docker configured over http and it works, added insecure.
Gitlab is installed on the host http://5.121.32.5
external_url 'http://5.121.32.5'
In the gitlab.rb file, I have enabled the following settings:
registry_external_url 'http://5.121.32.5'
gitlab_rails['registry_enabled'] = true
gitlab_rails['registry_host'] = "5.121.32.5"
gitlab_rails['registry_port'] = "5005"
gitlab_rails['registry_path'] = "/var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/registry"
To listen to the port, I created a file
sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/
Here are its contents
[Service]
ExecStart=
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2375 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock
But when the code runs in the gitlab-ci.yaml file
docker push ${MY_REGISTRY_PROJECT}:latest
then I get an error
Error response from daemon: Get "https://5.121.32.5:5005/v2/": dial tcp 5.121.32.5:5005: connect: connection refused
What is the problem? What did I miss?
And why is https specified here if I have http configured?

When you use docker login -u gitlab-ci-token -p ${CI_JOB_TOKEN} ${CI_REGISTRY} the docker command defaults to HTTPS causing the problem.
You need to tell your GitLab Runner to use insecure registry:
On the server on which the GitLab Runner is running, add the following option to your docker launch arguments (for me I added it to the DOCKER_OPTS in /etc/default/docker and restarted the docker engine): --insecure-registry 172.30.100.15:5050, replacing the IP with your own insecure registry.

How to clone gitlab repo over tor using ssh?

Error message
After having added the ssh key of a user of a GitLab server and repository that is hosted over tor, a test was performed that tried to clone a private repository (to which the testing user is added) over tor. The cloning was attempted with command:
torsocks git clone git#some_onion_domain.onion:root/test.git
Which returns error:
Cloning into 'test'... 1620581859 ERROR torsocks[50856]: Connection
refused to Tor SOCKS (in socks5_recv_connect_reply() at socks5.c:543)
ssh: connect to host some_onion_domain.onion port 22: Connection
refused fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository
exists.
GitLab SSH Cloning Verification
However, to verify the ssh access is available to the test user, the cloning was verified without tor using command:
git clone git#127.0.0.1:root/test.git
Which successfully returned:
Cloning into 'test'... remote: Enumerating objects: 3, done. remote:
Counting objects: 100% (3/3), done. remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused
0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0 Receiving objects: 100% (3/3), done.
Server side hypothesis
My first guess is that it is a server-side issue that has to do with the lack of https, in following setting in the /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb file:
external_url 'http://127.0.0.1'​
However setting external_url 'https://127.0.0.1 requires an https certificate, e.g. from Let's encrypt, which seem to not be provided for onion domains.
Client-side hypothesis
My second guess would be that it is a client-side issue related to some SOCKS setting is incorrect at the test user side that runs the torsocks command, similar to an issue w.r.t. the SOCKS 5 protocol that seems to be described here.
Question
Hence I would like to ask:
How can I resolve the connect to host some_onion_domain.onion port 22: Connection refused error when users try to clone the repo over tor?
One can set the ssh port of the GitLab instance to 9001, e.g. with:
sudo docker run --detach \
--hostname gitlab.example.com \
--publish 443:443 --publish 80:80 --publish 22:9001 \
--name gitlab \
--restart always \
--volume $GITLAB_HOME/config:/etc/gitlab \
--volume $GITLAB_HOME/logs:/var/log/gitlab \
--volume $GITLAB_HOME/data:/var/opt/gitlab \
gitlab/gitlab-ee:latest
Next, add port 9001 and port 22 to the ssh configuration in /etc/ssh/sshd_config by adding:
Port 9001
Port 22
then restart the ssh service with: systemctl restart ssh.
It is essential that one adds a public ssh key to the GitLab server for each computer you want to download the repo from, even if one wants to clone a public repository. You can make a new GitLab account for each computer, or add multiple public ssh keys to a single GitLab account. These instructions explain how to do that, tl;dr
ssh-keygen -t ed25519
<enter>
<enter>
<enter>
systemctl restart ssh
xclip -sel clip < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
Ps. if xclip does not work, one can manually copy the ssh key with: cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub.
Then open a browser and go to https://gitlab.com/-/profile/keys so for your own tor GitLab server that would be: someoniondomain.onion/-/profile/keys, and copy paste that key in there.
That is it, now one can clone the repository over tor with:
torify -p 22 git clone ssh://git#someoniondomain.onion:9001/root/public.git
Note
As a side note, in the question I happened to have tested git clone git#127.0.0.1:root/test.git however, instead of using 127.0.0.1 I should have used either the output of hostname -I or the public ip address of the device that hosts the GitLab server. Furthermore, I should have verified whether the GitLab server was accessible through ssh by testing:
ssh -T git#youronionserver.onion
Which should return Congratulations... It would not have done so if I had tested that, indicating the problem was in the ssh access to the GitLab server (or the ssh connection to the device). I could have determined whether the ssh problem was with the device or the ssh server by testing if I could log into the device with: ssh deviceusername#device_ip, which would have been successfull indicating, the ssh problem with at the GitLab server.

Docker Socket Without TLS

I have a TLS secured docker demon running. I use TLS for remote accessing the docker demon and access docker locally without any TLS. Normally...
Recently, I have updated Docker. Apparently I cannot connect to the local socket anymore. I suppose Docker is using now TLS for remote and local connections.
Is there a way to disable TLS for the local Docker socket?
Output of ps auxw | grep dockerd:
/usr/bin/dockerd -H 0.0.0.0:2376 --tlsverify --tlscacert /home/dockermanager/.docker/ca.pem --tlscert /home/dockermanager/.docker/server-cert.pem --tlskey /home/dockermanager/.docker/server-key.pem
Had been able to fix this myself.
I needed to migrate to these two systemd files provided by Docker:
https://github.com/moby/moby/tree/master/contrib/init/systemd
One service file is for the docker demon and there is one for the docker socket separately. The docker socket is a required dependency by docker.service and will be loaded, restartet and stopped accordingly.
Then i needed to add the docker demon parameter -H unix:// in order to activate the docker demon listening to the docker socket.
Afterwards everything worked as always and I assume local docker.socket communication does not need tls verification at all.
Start command now:
/usr/bin/dockerd -H unix:// -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2376 --tlsverify --tlscacert /home/dockeruser/.docker/ca.pem --tlscert /home/dockeruser/.docker/server-cert.pem --tlskey /home/dockeruser/.docker/server-key.pem

https is not working on httpd docker container

I am new to Apache and docker. I am running httpd:2.4 image from docker hub. Httpd container is running fine. When I am hitting localhost from browser, it gives messages as "IT workes" but when i tried to hit localhost with https then it is giving error as site can not be reached.
command to run httpd
docker run -d -p 443:443 --name httpd httpd:2.4
You must configure ssl certificate for this. Please refer SSL/HTTPS section given on Docker Hub official doc

docker: Says connection refused when attempting to connect to a published port

I'm a newbie at docker. I'm creating a Hello, World example. All I'm trying to do is bring up Apache in a docker and then view the default website from the host machine.
Dockerfile
FROM centos:latest
RUN yum install epel-release -y
RUN yum install wget -y
RUN yum install httpd -y
EXPOSE 80
ENTRYPOINT ["/usr/sbin/httpd", "-D", "FOREGROUND"]
And then I build it:
> docker build .
And then I tag it:
docker tag 17283f566320 my:apache
And then I run it:
> docker run -p 80:9191 my:apache
AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 172.17.0.2. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
It then runs....
In another terminal window, I attempt to issue the curl command to view the default web site.
> curl -XGET http://0.0.0.0:9191
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 0.0.0.0 port 9191: Connection refused
> curl -XGET http://localhost:9191
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 9191: Connection refused
> curl -XGET http://127.0.0.1:9191
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 9191: Connection refused
or I try localhost
Just to make sure that I got the port correct, I run this:
> docker ps -l
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES
5aed4063b1f6 my:apachep "/usr/sbin/httpd -D F" 43 seconds ago Up 42 seconds 80/tcp, 0.0.0.0:80->9191/tcp angry_hodgkin
Thanks to all. My ports were reversed:
> docker run -p 9191:80 my:apache
Despite you created the containers in your local machine. These are actually running on a different machine (a virtual machine)
First, check what is the IP of your docker machine (the virtual machine)
$docker-machine ls
NAME ACTIVE DRIVER STATE URL SWARM
default * virtualbox Running tcp://192.168.99.100
Then run curl command to view the default web site on your apache web server inside the container
curl http://192.168.99.100:9191
If you are running docker on Ubuntu machine as native you should be able to access your container with localhost.
If you are using Mac or Windows your docker container runs not on local host but on its IP. you can get your container ip with command docker inspect <container id> | grep IPAddress or if your are using docker-machine docker-machine ip <docker_machine_name>

https://docs.docker.com/machine/reference/ip/
How to get a Docker container's IP address from the host?
so your curl call should be something like this curl <container_ip>:<container_exposed_port>
also you can tag your image on build command with param -t like this:
docker build -t my:image .
Another tip you can optimize your dockerfile by combining yum install commands like this:
RUN yum install -y \
epel-release \
wget \
httpd
