Current scenario

I have an Apache server running on default port 80 on a CentOS 6.7 box. I forward port 80 from my router to this machine, and I can access it from the outside with my domain a.com. Everything works as expected.

What I want to do

I stood up a second machine, CentOS 7, to act as a dedicated GitLab server. By default, it runs the web interface through nginx on port 80. I want to be able to access it through my subdomain gitlab.a.com.

Is this possible to do? And if so, am I on the right track thinking it can be done with some combination of using a virtual host and a reverse proxy in Apache? I'd prefer both of them to run on 80 if possible and not use alternate ports.

Yes, that is exactly what you can do.

  1. You make an A record for gitlab.a.com pointing to the same IP address as a.com in your DNS.

  2. You make a virtual host for gitlab.a.com in your a.com Apache server, which contains the reverse proxy directives sending all traffic for this domain to your CentOS 7 box.
