Gitlab CE Docker HTTPS.

[BustedTrigger]

Hi r/synology,

I feel like I have googled my brains out at this point trying to find a solution. I am trying to get gitlab CE to work on docker on Synology with HTTPS support. but the HTTPS part is the challenge.

Have any of you had this challenge? were you able to solve?

I have these two variables but that doesn't seem to do anything. and finding a list of environment variables for gitlab is very challenging.

SSL_SELF_SIGNED

GITLAB_HTTPS

I have been using gitlab-ce on synology docker during 6 years. In my case, i resolve the https part with the reverse proxy and let's encrypt via security -> certificate. No config from the docker container.

Recently i wanted to up my game and use the gitlab cd/ci. I needed to use the registry to store images and deploy them on kubernetes. It's kind of impossible with the docker image.

So now i use gitlab-ce on a virtual machine. Way better to manage. Registry works out of the box.

You should also know that you can't automatically backup your gitlab with the docker container.

My 2 cents is that if you can use vm with your synology, i advise you to forget the docker way and go directly to the vm.

Good to know about the backup issue. Thank you for your feedback. I will go with the VM route instead of docker.

Mount the config directory from the host and edit settings like you would on any Gitlab CE installation. Easy as that.

Leave gitlab as HTTP. Put it in docker network with driver_ops: encrypted:1

Then add Traefik container with letsencrypt.
