## Configuration ## Configuration
Depending on your needs, you can set up GitLab Pages in 4 different ways. Depending on your needs, you can install GitLab Pages in four different ways.
The following options are listed from the easiest setup to the most
advanced one. The absolute minimum requirement is to set up the wildcard DNS
since that is needed in all configurations.
### Wildcard domains
>**Requirements:**
- [Wildcard DNS setup](#dns-configuration)
>
>---
>
URL scheme: `http://page.example.io`
This is the minimum setup that you can use Pages with. It is the base for all
other setups as described below. Nginx will proxy all requests to the daemon.
The Pages daemon doesn't listen to the outside world.
1. Set the external URL for GitLab Pages in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
```ruby
pages_external_url 'http://example.io'
```
1. [Reconfigure GitLab][reconfigure]
### Wildcard domains with TLS support ### Option 1. Custom domains with HTTPS support
>**Requirements:** | URL scheme | Wildcard certificate | Custom domain with HTTP support | Custom domain with HTTPS support | Secondary IP |
- [Wildcard DNS setup](#dns-configuration) | --- |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|

outside world. In that case, the pages daemon is running, NGINX still proxies requests to
the daemon but the daemon is also able to receive requests from the outside
world. Custom domains and TLS are supported.
1. Place the certificate and key inside `/etc/gitlab/ssl` 1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
1. In `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` specify the following configuration:
```ruby ```ruby
pages_external_url 'https://example.io' pages_external_url "https://example.io"
nginx['listen_addresses'] = ['1.1.1.1']
pages_nginx['redirect_http_to_https'] = true pages_nginx['enable'] = false
pages_nginx['ssl_certificate'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/pages-nginx.crt" gitlab_pages['cert'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/example.io.crt"
pages_nginx['ssl_certificate_key'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/pages-nginx.key" gitlab_pages['cert_key'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/example.io.key"
gitlab_pages['external_http'] = '1.1.1.2:80'
gitlab_pages['external_https'] = '1.1.1.2:443'
``` ```
where `pages-nginx.crt` and `pages-nginx.key` are the SSL cert and key, where `1.1.1.1` is the primary IP address that GitLab is listening to and
respectively. `1.1.1.2` the secondary IP where the GitLab Pages daemon listens to.

## Advanced configuration ### Option 2. Custom domains without HTTPS support
In addition to the wildcard domains, you can also have the option to configure
GitLab Pages to work with custom domains. Again, there are two options here:
support custom domains with and without TLS certificates. The easiest setup is
that without TLS certificates.
### Custom domains
>**Requirements:** | URL scheme | Wildcard certificate | Custom domain with HTTP support | Custom domain with HTTPS support | Secondary IP |

## Prerequisites ## Prerequisites
Before proceeding with the Pages configuration, you will need to: [Read the Omnibus prerequisites section.](index.md#prerequisites)
1. Have a separate domain under which the GitLab Pages will be served. In this
document we assume that to be `example.io`.
1. Configure a **wildcard DNS record**.
1. (Optional) Have a **wildcard certificate** for that domain if you decide to
serve Pages under HTTPS.
1. (Optional but recommended) Enable [Shared runners](../../ci/runners/README.md)
so that your users don't have to bring their own.
### DNS configuration
GitLab Pages expect to run on their own virtual host. In your DNS server/provider
you need to add a [wildcard DNS A record][wiki-wildcard-dns] pointing to the
host that GitLab runs. For example, an entry would look like this:
```
*.example.io. 1800 IN A 1.1.1.1
```
where `example.io` is the domain under which GitLab Pages will be served
and `1.1.1.1` is the IP address of your GitLab instance.
> **Note:**
You should not use the GitLab domain to serve user pages. For more information
see the [security section](#security).
