Replace StartSSL with CAcert. StartSSL is often advertised as free CA but they are not that great: free only for non-profits and can refuse to renew certificates. CAcert is a non-profit community-governed CA.

Template: gitlab/fqdn

Type: string

Default: localhost
|
|
_Description: Fully qualified domain name for this instance of Gitlab:
|
|
Please choose the domain name which should be used to access this
|
|
instance of Gitlab.
|
|
.
|
|
This should be the fully qualified name as seen from the Internet, with
|
|
the domain name that will be used to access the pod.
|
|
.
|
|
If a reverse proxy is used, give the hostname that the proxy server

Template: gitlab/ssl

Type: boolean

|
Default: false
|
|
_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), or WoSign (buy.wosign.com/free) offer free SSL certificates.
|
|
.
|
|
Nginx must be reloaded after the certificate and key files are made available
|
|
at /etc/gitlab/ssl. letsencrypt package may be used to automate interaction
|
|
with Let's Encrypt to obtain a certificate.
|
|
|
|
Template: gitlab/letsencrypt
|
|
Type: boolean
|
|
Default: false
|
|
_Description: Use Let's Encrypt?
|
|
Symbolic links to certificate and key created using letsencrypt package
|
|
(/etc/letencrypt/live) will be added to /etc/gitlab/ssl if this option is
|
|
selected.
|
|
.
|
|
Otherwise, certificate and key files have to be placed manually to
|
|
/etc/gitlab/ssl directory as 'gitlab.crt' and 'gitlab.key'.
|
|
.
|
|
Nginx will be stopped, if this option is selected, to allow letsencrypt to use
|
|
ports 80 and 443 during domain ownership validation and certificate retrieval
|
|
step.
|
|
.
|
|
Note: letsencrypt does not have a usable nginx plugin currently, so
|
|
certificates must be renewed manually after 3 months, when current
|
|
letsencrypt certificate expire.
