1. In gitlab-shell `config.yml` check if certificate options `ca_file`, `ca_path options` or `self_signed_cert` are set.
`gitlab_url` must point to the https host.
1. Use the `gitlab-ssl` nginx config.
1. In `gitlab.yml` set the `https` option to `true`
1. In the `config.yml` of gitlab-shell set the relevant options (see the [install GitLab Shell section](#install-gitlab-shell) of this document).
1. Use the `gitlab-ssl` nginx example config instead of the `gitlab` config.
