no icons shown if using relative path and behind a proxy

Summary

Gitlab shows no Icons (arrows, star, lock e. g.) if behind a proxy and a relative path is configures.

I found (and tried) solutions for configuring gitlab behind a proxy and gitlab using relative path, but I found no solution for this combination.

Steps to reproduce

  • we used the latest gitlab-ce docker container (gitlab/gitlab-ce:8.12.1-ce.0)
  • we configured gitlab to be run behind an apache2 server with a relative path configured:

changes in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb

external_url "https://maven02.our.domain/gitlab"
gitlab_rails['gitlab_ssh_host'] = 'maven02.our.domain'
nginx['listen_port'] = 80
nginx['listen_https'] = false
nginx['proxy_set_headers'] = {
  "X-Forwarded-Proto" => "https",
  "X-Forwarded-Ssl" => "on"
 }

Apache2 configuration (excerpt; proxying other applications works fine, e. g. jenkins):

# Proxying für gitlab
ProxyPass /gitlab http://127.0.0.1:20080/gitlab nocanon
ProxyPassReverse /gitlab http://127.0.0.1:20080/gitlab
ProxyPassReverse /gitlab https://maven02.our.domain/gitlab
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"
RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Port "443"

docker run command:

docker run -d --hostname maven02.our.domain -p 20080:80  -p 20022:22 --name gitlab -v gitlab-config:/etc/gitlab -v gitlab-log:/var/log/gitlab -v gitlab-data:/var/opt/gitlab --env 'GITLAB_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT=/gitlab' gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest

Expected behavior

icons showing

Actual behavior

Icons not showing. Except this everything works fine.

Possible fixes

Maybe it's a proxy missconfiguration, but I have no further idea.
