Unable to sync repos from GitLab

I’m starting with Drone CI, i tested already with Gitea, it worked well (though sometimes some jobs stayed in pending status for ever). Now i’m trying to use (a brand new instance of) Drone with GitLab.

This is my compose file (It’s deployed on Docker Swarm and proxied by Traefik, this same approach worked for Gitea)

After inspecting the service I found out GitLab returned a 502 error

This is all i got so far

My feed is not showing any repositories at all (clicked the Synchronize button several time already and nothing)

502 is a bad gateway error which typically comes from a reverse proxy or load balancer not being able to properly connect with the upstream, typically due to a timeout.
