When running Gitlab behind a reverse proxy, it can be challenging to handle its misbehaviour regarding the HTTP RFC. This project act as a middleware between your reverse proxy and the proxied Gitlab instance.
The Gitlab API for projects expect the repository name (with the namespace) to be URL encoded:
/api/v4/projects/namespace%2Frepository
However, most reverse proxies will (rightfully) decode those URLs into:
/api/v4/projects/namespace/repository
Which will result in a 404 - Not Found HTTP error.
As such, this middleware will manually re-encode the last part of the URL before proxying the request to the Gitlab.
Requirements:
- Go 1.22+
Run:
$ make
Run (adjust the REMOTE_URL variable):
$ export REMOTE_URL="https://gitlab.com"
$ ./rps-middleware-gitlab
Then, point your reverse proxy to <YOUR-IP>:8080.
Or run the Docker image:
$ docker run \
-e REMOTE_URL="https://gitlab.com" \
-p 8080:8080 \
