Dmitry Smirnov e0ed448cf7 templates: StartSSL --> CAcert
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
responds to.
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.
