Nginx – How to setup Gitlab-omnibus with non-bundled web-server

Install

1. I installed the gitlab package through the omnibus package on debian 7 (version7.8.1-omnibus-1_amd64.deb) ;
2. change the settings as describe in Using a non-bundled web-server
3. run the reconfigure command: sudo gitlab-ctl reconfigure (complete without error).

Nginx

I got no nginx' config for this gitlab except for what the package might have created with the following /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb file:

external_url 'http://git.mydomain.fr'
web_server['external_users'] = ['www-data']
nginx['enable'] = false
ci_nginx['enable'] = false

Question

When trying to contact the serve locally using links2 or externally I got an error 502 Bad Gateway.

• do I need to create a custom nginx' config ?
