Embed listener for proxy to make it usable for other reverse proxys besides the embedded one

maxmeyer requested to merge maxmeyer/omnibus-gitlab:feature/expose-listener into master

I run an apache instance as reverse proxy in front of all my docker containers. Having the dependency to nginx in gitlab-pages init script makes the setup complicated and not that easy to integrate in some other infrastructure.

  1. You need to have nginx enabled
  2. You need to have pages_external_url configured to HTTP not HTTPS (otherwise it will look for certificates and make the whole container fail)
  3. You need to activate the proxy listener

Especially 1. and 2. took me some hours of trial and error to find out.

After change:
