Click deploy. On the deploy screen write needed GitLab version. I’m running latest one (gitlab/gitlab-ce:12.1.4-ce.0), export http, https and ssh ports.

Then mount volumes to persist container data. Choose Bind-Mount from host and type desired volume location, and mount points as following for data, config, and logs.
