# GitLab Pages administration for source installations
This is the documentation for configuring a GitLab Pages when you have installed
GitLab from source and not using the Omnibus packages.
You are encouraged to read the [Omnibus documentation](index.md) as it provides
some invaluable information to the configuration of GitLab Pages. Please proceed
to read it before going forward with this guide.
We also highly recommend that you use the Omnibus GitLab packages, as we
optimize them specifically for GitLab, and we will take care of upgrading GitLab
Pages to the latest supported version.
## Overview
[Read the Omnibus overview section.](index.md#overview)
## Prerequisites
[Read the Omnibus prerequisites section.](index.md#prerequisites)
## Configuration
Depending on your needs, you can install GitLab Pages in four different ways.
### Option 1. Custom domains with HTTPS support
| URL scheme | Wildcard certificate | Custom domain with HTTP support | Custom domain with HTTPS support | Secondary IP |
| --- |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| `https://page.example.io` and `https://page.com` | yes | redirects to HTTPS | yes | yes |
Pages enabled, daemon is enabled AND pages has external IP support enabled.
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. Install the Pages daemon:
```
cd /home/git
sudo -u git -H git clone https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-pages.git
cd gitlab-pages
sudo -u git -H git checkout v0.2.4
sudo -u git -H make
```
1. Edit `gitlab.yml` to look like the example below. You need to change the
`host` to the FQDN under which GitLab Pages will be served. Set
`external_http` and `external_https` to the secondary IP on which the pages
daemon will listen for connections:
```yaml
## GitLab Pages
pages:
enabled: true
# The location where pages are stored (default: shared/pages).
# path: shared/pages
host: example.io
port: 443
https: true
external_http: 1.1.1.2:80
external_https: 1.1.1.2:443
```
1. Edit `/etc/default/gitlab` and set `gitlab_pages_enabled` to `true` in
order to enable the pages daemon. In `gitlab_pages_options` the
`-pages-domain`, `-listen-http` and `-listen-https` must match the `host`,
`external_http` and `external_https` settings that you set above respectively.
The `-root-cert` and `-root-key` settings are the wildcard TLS certificates
of the `example.io` domain:
```
gitlab_pages_enabled=true
gitlab_pages_options="-pages-domain example.io -pages-root $app_root/shared/pages -listen-proxy 127.0.0.1:8090 -listen-http 1.1.1.2:80 -listen-https 1.1.1.2:443 -root-cert /path/to/example.io.crt -root-key /path/to/example.io.key
```
1. Copy the `gitlab-pages-ssl` Nginx configuration file:
```bash
sudo cp lib/support/nginx/gitlab-pages-ssl /etc/nginx/sites-available/gitlab-pages-ssl.conf
sudo ln -sf /etc/nginx/sites-{available,enabled}/gitlab-pages-ssl.conf
```
Replace `gitlab-pages-ssl` with `gitlab-pages` if you are not using SSL.
1. Edit all GitLab related configs in `/etc/nginx/site-available/` and replace
`0.0.0.0` with `1.1.1.1`, where `1.1.1.1` the primary IP where GitLab
listens to.
1. Restart NGINX

```
1. Edit `gitlab.yml` to look like the example below. You need to change the

`external_http` to the secondary IP on which the pages daemon will listen
for connections:

https: false
external_http: 1.1.1.2:80
```
1. Edit `/etc/default/gitlab` and set `gitlab_pages_enabled` to `true` in
order to enable the pages daemon. In `gitlab_pages_options` the
`-pages-domain` and `-listen-http` must match the `host` and `external_http`
settings that you set above respectively:
```
gitlab_pages_enabled=true
gitlab_pages_options="-pages-domain example.io -pages-root $app_root/shared/pages -listen-proxy 127.0.0.1:8090 -listen-http 1.1.1.2:80"
```
1. Copy the `gitlab-pages-ssl` Nginx configuration file:
```bash
