 ### Available Configuration Parameters
 
 *Please refer the docker run command options for the `--env-file` flag where you can specify all required environment variables in a single file. This will save you from writing a potentially long docker run command. Alternatively you can use docker-compose. docker-compose users and Docker Swarm mode users can also use the [secrets and config file options](#docker-secrets-and-configs)*

+# Exposing ssh port in dockerized gitlab-ce
+
+This is how to expose this internal ssh port without affecting the existing ssh port on the host server:
+
+* use this configuration script: [`../contrib/expose-gitlab-ssh-port.sh`](../contrib/expose-gitlab-ssh-port.sh)
+* see implementation example in Vagrant: [harobed/docker-gitlab-vagrant-test
+](https://github.com/harobed/docker-gitlab-vagrant-test)
+* more information, see [« Exposing ssh port in dockerized gitlab-ce »](https://blog.xiaket.org/2017/exposing.ssh.port.in.dockerized.gitlab-ce.html) post
