Gitlab-CI: Access nginx service in script section

How can I access the nginx service in the script section of a Gitlab-CI job?

run_tests:
  image: curlimages/curl
  stage: test
  services:
    - name: bitnami/nginx
  script: 
    - curl http://127.0.0.1:8080

At the moment I always get the error:

curl: (7) Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 8080 after 4 ms: Connection refused

According to the bitnami nginx documentation, the container should display the standard page on port 8080.

>Solution :

In your case correct service hostname would be bitnami-nginx and yaml

run_tests:
  image: curlimages/curl
  stage: test
  services:
    - name: bitnami/nginx
  script: 
    - curl http://bitnami-nginx:8080

As per https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/services/#accessing-the-services

The default aliases for the service’s hostname are created from its image name following these rules:

• Everything after the colon (:) is stripped.
• Slash (/) is replaced with double underscores (__) and the primary alias is created.
• Slash (/) is replaced with a single dash (-) and the secondary alias is created (requires GitLab Runner v1.1.0 or higher).
