How to set custom listening port for custom location

[gutleib]

Hi, and excuse me for opening an issue.

There's a question that seems to pop up regularly in my tasks. I need to create service on a custom port for on the main Proxy Host that will lead to some other service. For example, I have a Gitlab service behind Nginx Proxy Manager, and I want to run Gitlab container registry on the same site name, but on a different port. On the backend, they can be on different hosts, but on a front end I want them to be in the same location, /, but on different ports.
I beleive, I should configure that in Custom locations, but every time I do, main (443 port) service breaks.

Though this is not your issue per se, it seems to have no searchable answer for such a trivial need. Could you give some example of Custom location on Custom port configuration?

@gutleib Have you found any solution for this? I'm facing the exact same issue for the GitLab container registry.

For future reference, here is to solution: go to Host - Stream and configure any incoming port and forwarding host and port.

If you're using Docker image, be sure to add ports you're going to use in yaml file.

# This is part of docker-compose.yaml file 
ports:
      # These ports are in format <host-port>:<container-port>
      - '80:80' # Public HTTP Port
      - '443:443' # Public HTTPS Port
      - '81:81' # Admin Web Port
      # Add any other Stream port you want to expose
      - '3210:3210' # Git SSH | TCP (SSH) through proxy
      - '1234:1234' # GitLab Container Registry (only if GitLab accepts HTTPS)

In this example, TCP (SSH) connection is being passed through a reverse proxy. Just add Stream (port 3210) to your SSH server (port 3210 on GitLab machine)

You can add a stream for the GitLab Container registry, but your GitLab needs to accept HTTPS connection. If you're using a reverse proxy, good changes are you want your reverse proxy to provide TLS termination, thus GitLab accepting only HTTP. Create a subdomain for the container registry (e.g. registry.gitlab-domain.com), point it to reverse proxy, and just add a standard Proxy Host entry for the registry with the desired SSL certificate pointing to GitLab IP and configured port (1234).

Settings in GitLab

# This is part of gitlab.rb
gitlab_rails['gitlab_shell_ssh_port'] = 3210
registry_external_ulr `https://registry.gitlab-domain.com`
registry_nginx['enable'] = true
registry_nginx['listen_port'] = 1234
