How to proxy Gitlab nginx into Apache2?

It’s all slightly more complicated as the package provided by GitLab bundles a lot of things in /opt. They assume it will be the only thing running on the server, but it is still doable. <br> <br>In “/var/opt/gitlab/nginx/etc/gitlab-http.conf” set the server name to gitlab.mydomain.com: <br> <br><pre> <br>server { <br> listen *:80; <br> server_name gitlab.mydomain.com; <br> server_tokens off; # don’t show the version number, a security best practice <br> root /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/public; <br></pre> <br> <br>Then create a new server block that will forward other connections onto Apache: <br> <br><pre> <br>server { <br> listen 80; <br> <br> root /var/www/; <br> index index.php index.html index.htm; <br> <br> server_name mydomain.com; <br> <br> location / { <br> try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php; <br> } <br> <br> location ~ .php$ { <br>
<br> proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; <br> proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr; <br> proxy_set_header Host $host; <br> proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080; <br> <br> } <br> <br> location ~ /.ht { <br> deny all; <br> } <br>} <br></pre> <br> <br>Then in your Apache configuration, change the VirtualHost to listen on port 8080: <br> <br><pre> <br><VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:8080> <br></pre> <br> <br>This article about using Nginx as a proxy for Apache should be helpful: <br> <br>https://digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-configure-nginx-as-a-front-end-proxy-for-apache <br> <br>There’s also an article about installing GitLab from source.
