Hi @john_main 

Integrating Gitlab (Self-hosted) offering to Jira cloud would require you to install the Gitlab for Jira Cloud app using any of the two methods which are described in detailed here.

I would recommend going with installing the app in development mode as it is much easier than making your own marketplace listing of the app. This would enable Jira Development panel with Gitlab as the VCS source.

However, keep in mind for this to work your Gitlab instance has to be publicly available i.e. it should be behind a closed network which is only accessible via VPN or proxy which is one of the biggest challenges in integrating self-hosted Gitlab with Jira Cloud.

For integrating Jira issues with Gitlab, you can follow the straightforward instruction given on Jira issues integration documentation page from Gitlab.

*Note: Installing Gitlab for Jira Cloud directly from the marketplace won't work as it is intended for Gitlab.com (SaaS) only.
