Docker environment via nginx proxy results in 502 Bad Gateway

Question

I am using nginx-proxy to connect subdomains to different docker services. Since one of the last image updates I am not able to connect to my gitlab instance anymore. I don't know if a nginx-proxy or gitlab update resulted in this issue. When I try to connect to gitlab.mydomain.com I get the following errors:

1. Browser: 502 Bad Gateway. nginx/1.13.3

2. nginx-proxy logs:

My docker-compose file:

version: '2'

services:
   nginx-proxy:
     image: jwilder/nginx-proxy
     ports:
     - "80:80"
     - "443:443"
     volumes:
     - /var/local/nginx/certs:/etc/nginx/certs
     - /etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt
     - /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro

   gitlab:
     image: gitlab/gitlab-ce:latest
     ports:
     - "2222:22"
     hostname: 'gitlab.***.com'
     expose:
     - 443
     - 22
     - 80
     - 25
     environment:
     - "VIRTUAL_HOST=gitlab.***.com,www.gitlab.***.com"
     - "VIRTUAL_PORT=443"
     - "VIRTUAL_PROTO=https"
     volumes:
     - "gitlab-config:/etc/gitlab"
     - "gitlab-log:/var/log/gitlab"
     - "gitlab-data:/var/opt/gitlab"
     - "/etc/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt"

Any ideas on that? Thanks.

this setup works for me, maybe you can compare it and find out, what's wrong:
