Dockerfile for GitLab with Nginx, SSL, and Data

In this guide, we will learn how to create a Dockerfile that sets up a GitLab instance with Nginx, a valid SSL certificate, and data on a dedicated partition named ‘/data’. This Dockerfile will provide a complete setup for running GitLab with Nginx as a reverse proxy, ensuring secure communication with a valid SSL certificate. Additionally, it will configure GitLab to store its data on a dedicated partition, allowing for better management and scalability. Let’s dive into the details of creating this Dockerfile.
