Documentation issue with docker port settings and external_url
Hi I just downloaded and installed the latest docker ce image. It all works fine now. But I ran in circles for a bit trying to figure out the external_url setting.
But you can read more details here...

The docs fail to mention that if you specify a port in external_url that also nginx will also bind to that port. So in the docker docs you mention for example...
--publish 8929:80 external_url "http://gitlab.example.com:8929"
But that causes nginx to bind to 8929. So the docker port forwarding doesn't work. So we need to start docker with --publish 8929:8929
Also --publish 8080:80 external_url "http://gitlab.example.com:8080" which allot of us are used to doing, causes binding conflict internally since unicorn also run son port 8080 and well you try to start nginx on the port 8080.
Thanks
