No ssh and bad command line

I have not looked for my problem here much, but there is a preliminary problem I need help with and I thought I would start here
using casaos v0.4.15 gitea/gitea 1.22.4 container
I only have http access - this is home lan so that might be OK but I was looking for the convenience of the nice layout and using stored keys (ssh)
http needs user password
The preliminary problem on the box I want to use the most is this:
comand line:
git clone http://server:3002/user/revnotes.git revclips/
the above command and about any other (git) command
return:
Cloning into ‘revclips’…
fatal: unable to access ‘http://server:81/user/bpvitals.git/’: Failed to connect to server port 81 after 9 ms: Couldn’t connect to server

this happens on 3 different shells and on a git gui

I cannot figure out why this is happening. where is that second string installed?

Hope it’s OK to post this here and thank you for your time

Sorry for the lame post. That was a git globals program.
I am attempting to setup ssh for gitea container that was installed using casaos.
I’ll probably go back to lurking. thanks
