A docker-compose config in v3 format for nginx-proxy with separate containers for nginx, dockergen and letsencrypt-companion. Additional example on how to get GitLab docker container running with this nginx-proxy setup. You need to create the docker network before, just run 'docker network create nginx-proxy'. Docker will tell you so if you don'…

Hi, thanks for sharing this great gist!
I had to open the ssh port manually (and remap because port 22 is already use on my machine).
Does git clone ssh: work out of the box with your config?

This are the additions I had to make:

services:
  gitlab:
    image: 'gitlab/gitlab-ce:10.5.4-ce.0'
    container_name: gitlab
    environment:
      GITLAB_OMNIBUS_CONFIG: |
        gitlab_rails['gitlab_shell_ssh_port']=34892

    ports:
      - '34892:22'
