title: Forwarding to GitLab Subdomain with Existing Nginx Installation
body: <p>I've been following the <a href="https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/doc/settings/nginx.md#using-a-non-bundled-web-server" rel="noreferrer">instructions from the GitLab wiki</a>, however, it seems as if some key pieces of information are missing. In the section "Using a Non-Bundled Web Server" it never explains how I need to reconfigure my Nginx installation to reverse proxy over to GitLab.</p>
  
  <p>Basically, I'd like to have GitLab installed under git.example.com, but I can't seem to find the configuration settings for my existing Nginx installation that'll do that. The wiki page goes on to talk about configuring an existing Passenger/Nginx installation, but I don't have Passenger, so I don't think that applies to my situation.</p>
  
  <p>I suppose the easiest solution would be if there were a way to tell Gitlab to use it's built-in Nginx and just listen on an internal port, and then have my other Nginx forward to that port, but I can't seem to figure out how to configure Gitlab to handle that.</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
