GitLab Error: Connection Refused

Viewed 29463

I have a cloud server from Digital Ocean that is hosting GitLab.

Whenever I try to create a repository and push it to GitLab, I am getting the following error :

ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

I am fairly new to git so I am confused why I keep getting this error. I also have generated and added my SSH key to GitLab. Here are the steps I take to create the repository (per GitLab's instruction):

mkdir test
cd test
git init
touch README
git add README
git commit -m 'first commit'
git remote add origin git@idAddress
git push -u origin master

Any suggestions?
