While trying to proxy my main nginx instance to a GitLab docker container I wasted hours and hours and hours trying to fix the following error:

fatal: unable to access 'https://gitlab.burgundywall.com/kneufeld/myproject.git/': \
SSL read: error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0), errno 54

It turns out that nginx config option ssl_session_cache is super f'n important to not screw up. I'm not totally sure what the problem is, but in my main server clause i had

ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:1m;

and I didn't have any such option in my server gitlab stanza. So something something something I could not do any git commands via https.

And even with logging everything looked okay

GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 git clone https://gitlab.burgundywall.com/kneufeld/myproject.git

except it didn't work.

Anyhow, when I finally figured out that ssl_session_cache was the issue and did some reading I just made sure that each ssl server has it's own cache.

ssl_session_cache shared:SSL-gitlab:1m;

Hours.
