Step 2: Configure Jenkins Add Credentials.For Jenkins to be able to react on GitLab hooks, I had to setup GitLab user credentials. Activity The Jenkins credentials plugin provides a default internal credentials store, which can be used to store high value or privileged credentials, such as Amazon bucket deployment username/password combinations and GitHub user tokens.

When we use scp command to copy files and directories from our local system to remote system then in the backend it makes ssh connection to remote system. ssh jenkins# su jenkins ssh-keygen bla bla bla. When you create a new ec2 instance, you need to select a key pair (public key and private key) for that ec2 instance. It can be installed through ‘Manage Plugins’ section under ‘Manage Jenkins’ or we can also install it by downloading it from the following link, PUBLISH OVER SSH.

I've tried running this in the shell outside of Jenkins and everything works fine. SSH flushes input before I realize that there are Jenkins plugins to achieve what I am trying to do, but none of them are working for me at the moment, which is probably due to bad server configuration. In the credentials dialog, choose GitLab API token in the Kind input and paste your token from GitLab into the API token input field.
