Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Hello!
Today I have same problem but with github. From 2 droplets I can’t ping github (“No address associated with hostname”) but on my newest one it works. Of course I can add ip to hosts file but I have question - is this your dns related problem or samething else?

i can ping to github fine. only gitlab had a problem. okay i’ll add the gitlab ip to hosts for now.
Hello, @silentrazgriz
Could you please let me know if you’re having issues to connect/ping only to gitlab or you’re unable to ping other domains/hosts as well?
If the issue is occurring only with gitlab.com what you can do is to alter you droplet’s hosts file and enter the following line:
open the hosts file with your favorite text editor - vi, vim or nano
vim /etc/hostsadd the following line at the bottom of the file:
172.65.251.78 gitlab.com www.gitlab.comYou can then try to ping or access gitlab using ssh as well.
Hope this helps!
