_Description: Enable https?
Enabling https means that an SSL certificate is required to access this Gitlab
instance (as Nginx will be configured to respond only to https requests). A
self-signed certificate is enough for local testing (and can be generated
using, for instance, the package easy-rsa), but it is not recommended for a
production instance.

Some certificate authorities like Let's Encrypt (letsencrypt.org), CAcert
(cacert.org) offer free SSL certificates.
(cacert.org) offer free SSL/TLS certificates.
Note: CAcert issued certificates are not trusted by all browsers, it requires
installing CAcert's root certificate in such cases.
