Description
I am here (1) and I want to see some readme, e.g. about environment variables.
When I click on that link, it takes me to (2) but that page does not exist and results with 404 because when you notice, there are two "help/help" instead of one in (2). When I remove one "help" in the URL path like this (3) it works ok.
I am not sure if this is fault of this docker-gitlab thing or it is broken in upstream.
(1) https://my.gitlab.net/help/
(2) https://my.gitlab.net/help/help/administration/environment_variables.md
(3) https://my.gitlab.net/help/administration/environment_variables.md

Research direction
Start by reproducing the broken link from https://my.gitlab.net/help/ and compare it with the working URL that removes one “help” path segment. Trace whether docker-gitlab or upstream GitLab generates the duplicated path; done when the environment-variables link resolves without the extra segment.
