Gitlab docker and external_url

Question

Hello I installed latest gitlab using docker. I started the container with -p 10080:80 and 10022:22

I can browse gitlab and do what I need I can even git clone both http and ssh using ports 10080 and 10022 respectively.

In the front end though the urls don't show with the appropriate ports.

I changed the ssh_shell property. That works fine!

For whatever reason any attempt to modify the external_url property doesn't work! I put " http://myhost:10080 " But when I restart the container it doesn't seem to want to start. I can't browse nothing simply commenting it out it works again.

So now the front end shows the correct ssh clone url, but not the http one.

Ok figured it out thanks to this: Gitlab docker not working if external_url is set

Basically if you set external url with a port it also causes the nginx port to bind to that port. So when you start your docker containers you need to -p 10080:10080
