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), StartSSL (startssl.com) or WoSign (buy.wosign.com/free) offer free SSL certificates. . python-letsencrypt package may be used to automate interaction with Let’s Encrypt to obtain a certificate.
