`(Expected state running but got error: Error response from daemon: Get https://gitlab.[mydomain]:5001/v2/: net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers))`

I´m trying to pull images from our self-hosted Gitlab instance.

**What I´ve done:**

- pushing an image to our Gitlab docker registry works
- ports are open
- docker login from Rancher host works

Any ideas?

Also tried creating a _personal access token_ as suggested here [https://gitlab.ruv.is/help/user/profile/personal\_access\_tokens.md](https://gitlab.ruv.is/help/user/profile/personal_access_tokens.md) but no icecream.

Does Rancher even allow alternative ports in the **Registries** config?
