see the Invalid Endpoint, Proxy Problems section of this thread which describes some ways this can happen.

I have the exact same problem, but the given link on the previous message did not help.
My agent connects directly to drone (without reverse proxy).

My configuration is more or less the same as Aviortheking.
The runner correctly connects to the drone server (I get the "“runner: polling queue” message).

My drone is connected to my GITEA instance.
Everything works perfectly with public repositories, but with private repositories, I get the following :

I tried everything for the past 3 days … Any idea what’s happening ?

I’ve done a work around the issue:
in the env I added

DRONE_GIT_USERNAME=username
DRONE_GIT_PASSWORD=password
DRONE_GIT_ALWAYS_AUTH=true

after that it worked
