Change Nginx port number

GitLab CI/CD
1

Hi,

Firstly, I’m sorry, but my English is not perfect. I’d like to run my web server (NodeJS) on the same server where my GitLab is running. I changed in gitlab.rb the external_url from mydomain.com to mydomain.com:8000. Reconfigured and restarted Gitlab. It works fine, I can reach gitlab on mydomain.com:8000, but port 80 is already in use. I’ve tried to uncomment and change nginx[‘listen_port’] = 80 to 8000, but it’s not working. Port 80 is already in use.

Can somebody help me to solve this problem? :slight_smile:

Thank you,

The first step is to add another DNS entry that points to the external IP address of your server, eg gitlab.mydomain.com.

Then add this to your nginx config:

server {
server_name gitlab.mydomain.com

access_log /var/log/nginx/gitlab.access_log main;
error_log /var/log/nginx/gitlab.error_log info;

location /$ {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000/;
}
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000/;
}
}
