# GitLab Pages # GitLab Pages
To start using GitLab Pages add to your project .gitlab-ci.yml with special pages job. _**Note:** This feature was introduced in GitLab EE 8.3_
pages: To start using GitLab Pages add to your project `.gitlab-ci.yml` the special
`pages` job. The example below is using [jekyll][] and assumes the created
HTML files are generated under the `public/` directory which resides under the
root directory of your Git repository.
```yaml
pages:
image: jekyll image: jekyll
script: jekyll build script: jekyll build
artifacts: artifacts:
paths: paths:
- public - public
```
- The pages are created when build artifacts for `pages` job are uploaded
- Pages serve the content under: http://group.pages.domain.com/project
- Pages can be used to serve the group page, special project named as host: group.pages.domain.com
- User can provide own 403 and 404 error pages by creating 403.html and 404.html in group page project
- Pages can be explicitly removed from the project by clicking Remove Pages in Project Settings
- The size of pages is limited by Application Setting: max pages size, which limits the maximum size of unpacked archive (default: 100MB)
- The public/ is extracted from artifacts and content is served as static pages
- Pages asynchronous worker use `dd` to limit the unpacked tar size
- Pages needs to be explicitly enabled and domain needs to be specified in gitlab.yml
- Pages are part of backups
- Pages notify the deployment status using Commit Status API
- Pages use a new sidekiq queue: pages
- Pages use a separate nginx config which needs to be explicitly added
## Examples
- Add example with stages. `test` using a linter tool, `deploy` in `pages`
- Add examples of more static tool generators
```yaml
image: jekyll
stages:
- test
- deploy
lint:
script: jekyll build
stage: test
pages:
script: jekyll build
stage: deploy
artifacts:
paths:
- public
```
## Current limitations
TODO - We currently support only http and port 80. It will be extended in the future.
