# Static sites and GitLab Pages domains
This document is the beginning of a comprehensive guide, made for those who want to
publish a website with GitLab Pages but aren't familiar with
the entire process involved.
This [first document](#what-you-need-to-know-before-getting-started) of this series will present you to the concepts of
static sites, and go over how the default Pages domains work.
The [second document](getting_started_part_two.md) covers how to get started with GitLab Pages: deploy
a website from a forked project or create a new one from scratch.
The [third document](getting_started_part_three.md) will show you how to set up a custom domain or subdomain
to your site already deployed.
The [fourth document](getting_started_part_four.md) will show you how to create and tweak GitLab CI for
GitLab Pages.
To **enable** GitLab Pages for GitLab CE (Community Edition)
and GitLab EE (Enterprise Edition), please read the
[admin documentation](https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/administration/pages/index.html),
and/or watch this [video tutorial](https://youtu.be/dD8c7WNcc6s).

This document is a user guide to explore the options and settings
GitLab Pages offers.
With GitLab Pages you can host for free your static websites on GitLab.
Combined with the power of [GitLab CI] and the help of [GitLab Runner] you can
deploy static pages for your individual projects, your user or your group.
To familiarize yourself with GitLab Pages first:
Read [GitLab Pages on GitLab.com](#gitlab-pages-on-gitlabcom) for specific
information, if you are using GitLab.com to host your website.
- Read an [introduction to GitLab Pages](index.md#overview).
- Learn [how to get started with Pages](index.md#getting-started).
- Learn how to enable GitLab Pages
across your GitLab instance on the [administrator documentation](../../../administration/pages/index.md).
## Getting started with GitLab Pages domains
> **Note:**
> In the rest of this document we will assume that the general domain name that
> is used for GitLab Pages is `example.io`.
In general there are two types of pages one might create:
- Pages per user (`username.example.io`) or per group (`groupname.example.io`)
- Pages per project (`username.example.io/projectname` or `groupname.example.io/projectname`)
In GitLab, usernames and groupnames are unique and we often refer to them
as [namespaces](../../group/index.md#namespaces). There can be only one namespace
in a GitLab instance. Below you
can see the connection between the type of GitLab Pages, what the project name
that is created on GitLab looks like and the website URL it will be ultimately
be served on.
| Type of GitLab Pages | The name of the project created in GitLab | Website URL |
| -------------------- | ------------ | ----------- |
| User pages | `username.example.io` | `http(s)://username.example.io` |
| Group pages | `groupname.example.io` | `http(s)://groupname.example.io` |
| Project pages owned by a user | `projectname` | `http(s)://username.example.io/projectname` |
| Project pages owned by a group | `projectname` | `http(s)://groupname.example.io/projectname`|
| Project pages owned by a subgroup | `subgroup/projectname` | `http(s)://groupname.example.io/subgroup/projectname`|
> **Warning:**
> There are some known [limitations](#limitations) regarding namespaces served
> under the general domain name and HTTPS. Make sure to read that section.
### GitLab Pages requirements
## Pages requirements
In brief, this is what you need to upload your website in GitLab Pages:
1. Find out the general domain name that is used for GitLab Pages
(ask your administrator). This is very important, so you should first make
sure you get that right.
1. Create a project
1. Push a [`.gitlab-ci.yml` file][yaml] in the root directory
of your repository with a specific job named [`pages`][pages]
1. Set up a GitLab Runner to build your website
> **Note:**
If [shared runners](../../../ci/runners/README.md) are enabled by your GitLab
administrator, you should be able to use them instead of bringing your own.
### User or group Pages
For user and group pages, the name of the project should be specific to the
username or groupname and the general domain name that is used for GitLab Pages.
Head over your GitLab instance that supports GitLab Pages and create a
repository named `username.example.io`, where `username` is your username on
GitLab. If the first part of the project name doesn't match exactly your
username, it won’t work, so make sure to get it right.
To create a group page, the steps are the same like when creating a website for
users. Just make sure that you are creating the project within the group's
namespace.
![Create a user-based pages project](img/pages_create_user_page.png)
---
After you push some static content to your repository and GitLab Runner uploads
the artifacts to GitLab CI, you will be able to access your website under
`http(s)://username.example.io`. Keep reading to find out how.
>**Note:**
If your username/groupname contains a dot, for example `foo.bar`, you will not
be able to use the wildcard domain HTTPS, read more at [limitations](#limitations).
1. Domain of the instance: domain name that is used for GitLab Pages
(ask your administrator).
1. GitLab CI/CD: a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file with a specific job named [`pages`][pages] in the root directory of your repository.
1. A directory called `public` in your site's repo containing the content
to be published.
1. GitLab Runner enabled for the project.
### Project Pages
GitLab Pages for projects can be created by both user and group accounts.
The steps to create a project page for a user or a group are identical:
1. Create a new project
1. Push a [`.gitlab-ci.yml` file][yaml] in the root directory
of your repository with a specific job named [`pages`][pages].
1. Set up a GitLab Runner to build your website
A user's project will be served under `http(s)://username.example.io/projectname`
whereas a group's project under `http(s)://groupname.example.io/projectname`.
For practical examples for group and project Pages, read through the guide
[GitLab Pages from A to Z: Part 1 - Static sites and GitLab Pages domains](getting_started_part_one.md#practical-examples).
## Quick Start
Read through [GitLab Pages Quick Start Guide][pages-quick] or watch the video tutorial on
[how to publish a website with GitLab Pages on GitLab.com from a forked project][video-pages-fork].
See also [All you Need to Know About GitLab Pages][pages-index-guide] for a list with all the resources we have for GitLab Pages.
### Explore the contents of `.gitlab-ci.yml`
The key thing about GitLab Pages is the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file, something that
gives you absolute control over the build process. You can actually watch your
website being built live by following the CI job traces.
For a simplified user guide on setting up GitLab CI/CD for Pages, read through
the article [GitLab Pages from A to Z: Part 4 - Creating and Tweaking `.gitlab-ci.yml` for GitLab Pages](getting_started_part_four.md)
> **Note:**
> Before reading this section, make sure you familiarize yourself with GitLab CI
> and the specific syntax of[`.gitlab-ci.yml`][yaml] by
> following our [quick start guide].
To make use of GitLab Pages, the contents of `.gitlab-ci.yml` must follow the
rules below:
1. A special job named [`pages`][pages] must be defined
1. Any static content which will be served by GitLab Pages must be placed under
a `public/` directory
1. `artifacts` with a path to the `public/` directory must be defined
## GitLab Pages on GitLab.com
In its simplest form, `.gitlab-ci.yml` looks like:
If you are using [GitLab Pages on GitLab.com](#gitlab-pages-on-gitlabcom) to host your website, then:
```yaml
pages:
script:
- my_commands
artifacts:
paths:
- public
```
- The domain name for GitLab Pages on GitLab.com is `gitlab.io`.
- Custom domains and TLS support are enabled.
- Shared runners are enabled by default, provided for free and can be used to
build your website. If you want you can still bring your own Runner.
When the Runner reaches to build the `pages` job, it executes whatever is
defined in the `script` parameter and if the job completes with a non-zero
exit status, it then uploads the `public/` directory to GitLab Pages.
## Example projects
The `public/` directory should contain all the static content of your website.
Depending on how you plan to publish your website, the steps defined in the
[`script` parameter](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#script) may differ.
Visit the [GitLab Pages group](https://gitlab.com/groups/pages) for a complete list of example projects. Contributions are very welcome.
Be aware that Pages are by default branch/tag agnostic and their deployment
relies solely on what you specify in `.gitlab-ci.yml`. If you don't limit the
`pages` job with the [`only` parameter](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#onlyexcept-basic),
whenever a new commit is pushed to whatever branch or tag, the Pages will be
overwritten. In the example below, we limit the Pages to be deployed whenever
a commit is pushed only on the `master` branch:
## Specific configuration options for Pages
```yaml
pages:
script:
- my_commands
artifacts:
paths:
- public
only:
- master
```
We then tell the Runner to treat the `public/` directory as `artifacts` and
upload it to GitLab. And since all these parameters were all under a `pages`
job, the contents of the `public` directory will be served by GitLab Pages.
Learn how to set up GitLab CI/CD for specific use cases.

#### How `.gitlab-ci.yml` looks like when using a static generator
In general, GitLab Pages support any kind of [static site generator][staticgen],
since `.gitlab-ci.yml` can be configured to run any possible command.
In the root directory of your Git repository, place the source files of your
favorite static generator. Then provide a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file which is
specific to your static generator.
### `.gitlab-ci.yml` for a static site generator
The example below, uses [Jekyll] to build the static site:
See this document for a [step-by-step guide](getting_started_part_four.md).
```yaml
image: ruby:2.1 # the script will run in Ruby 2.1 using the Docker image ruby:2.1
pages: # the build job must be named pages
script:
- gem install jekyll # we install jekyll
- jekyll build -d public/ # we tell jekyll to build the site for us
artifacts:
paths:
- public # this is where the site will live and the Runner uploads it in GitLab
only:
- master # this script is only affecting the master branch
```
Here, we used the Docker executor and in the first line we specified the base
image against which our jobs will run.
You have to make sure that the generated static files are ultimately placed
under the `public` directory, that's why in the `script` section we run the
`jekyll` command that jobs the website and puts all content in the `public/`
directory. Depending on the static generator of your choice, this command will
differ. Search in the documentation of the static generator you will use if
there is an option to explicitly set the output directory. If there is not
such an option, you can always add one more line under `script` to rename the
resulting directory in `public/`.
We then tell the Runner to treat the `public/` directory as `artifacts` and
upload it to GitLab.

Since you cannot use any custom server configuration files, like `.htaccess` or
any `.conf` file, if you want to redirect a page to another
location, you can use the [HTTP meta refresh tag][metarefresh].
Some static site generators provide plugins for that functionality so that you
don't have to create and edit HTML files manually. For example, Jekyll has the
[redirect-from plugin](https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-redirect-from).
