Trouble Setting up Gitlab locally with connection encryption (TLS) self signed

Hey Community,

i am pretty new to gitlab as well as docker. I tried to follow a few tutorials but had no success.

My Goal: Set up Gitlab locally, without a domain and without a proper hostname. Only an ip address.

Host: Virtualized Ubuntu Server 20.4
Virtualization: VMWare Player
Docker-Concept: docker-compose

What did i do:
setup the environment in an .env file - gitlab home is located at:
/home/docker_persistent/gitlab

I set up a docker-compose.yaml:
gitlab:
container_name: ‘gitlab’
image: ‘gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest’
restart: always
hostname: ‘gitlab’

        environment:
                 GITLAB_OMNIBUS_CONFIG: |
                     # Add any other gitlab.rb configuration here, each on its own line
                     #external_url 'https://127.0.0.1'
                     gitlab_rails['gitlab_shell_ssh_port'] = 22
                     #nginx['redirect_http_to_https'] = true
                     #registry_nginx['redirect_http_to_https'] = true
                     #mattermost_nginx['redirect_http_to_https'] = true
                     nginx['ssl_certificate'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/gitlab.pem"
                     nginx['ssl_certificate_key'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/gitlab.crt"
                     nginx['ssl_dhparam'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/dhparam.pem"        

        ports:
            - '8080:80'
            - '8433:433'
            - '8022:22'

        volumes:
            - '${GITLAB_HOME}/config:/etc/gitlab'
            - '${GITLAB_HOME}/logs:/var/log/gitlab'
            - '${GITLAB_HOME}/data:/var/opt/gitlab'
            - '${GITLAB_HOME}/config/ssl:/etc/gitlab/ssl'

Than i opened the appropriate ports:
ufw allow 8433
ufw allow 8022
ufw allow 8080

I created a self-signed certificate as well as the dhparams file and copied those files to the appropriate directories.

When i start the container using docker-compose up i do not see any issues - i can connect to my gitlab instance using ip:8080 but i can not reach it under ip:8433

I tried to reach the instance using curl -k ip:8433 the result is
connection refused

I probably missed a step, but i cannot find out which one.

Is there additional information that I should provide?
Regards
Flo

[Edit]:
I checked that the port is open using netcat - that seems to work just fine.
