Adding a URL that works externally from CERN

@rob-c I always use SSH to access gitlab even when away from CERN so I guess this is due to your institute's firewall rather than the CERN one? Maybe putting this would be clearer:

@chrisburr Potentially, I'm traveling on eduroam (and use that in my home institute), and typically find I don't have a problem with the https way of connecting. Would it be a better idea to re-phrase it as, try this and drop back to https if this fails? |

@rob-c Yeah I think that would be good idea. A notable minority of places block non HTTP(S) traffic (i.e. port 80 and 443). |

Just running through this to setup a docker container to avoid throwing up a full VM to do some work.
I hit a problem, externally to CERN, the URL (command) wrapped in the PR will hang due to the firewall.
This PR is just adding a URL that works externally from CERN so that external users don't have to do proxy-ing.
Not sure if there is a policy on this but new users won't be overly familiar with why things like this don't work from their home institute or on their laptop.
