Gitlab Pages?

[A Former User]

Has anyone got GitLab pages working? I played around with it and have been having issues getting anything to actually serve. Not a deal breaker for sure, but I would like to know if anyone has any experience getting it to work in Cloudron and how they did it (if it worked)

I'd also be interested to know this. I was going to give it a try myself, but it seemed overkill to install and run Gitlab on my little VPS just to experiment with this!

@jdaviescoates Fair! I've been a believer of Gitea but after seeing the upcoming Nextcloud integration with GitLab I just had to switch. Soon Nextcloud will truly be the hub for everything I need to work on from my Cloudron instance (I host apps for my freelance work)

Edit: Not to mention that Gitlab better manages code review processes and has a handy todo list. Also its more responsive!

I think this requires Cloudron to support multiple domains for an app (similar to WP multi-site support). Currently, there is no way to configure the reverse proxy to listen to the domains that you configure gitlab pages for.

@girish Ah, fair enough. I guess if the multiple domains request is handled this could also be allowed on Cloudron. It would be nice to be able to do this for stuff like hosting Hugo (or other SSG platforms) pages straight from GitLab to make the process a bit smoother.

@atrilahiji Maybe the same principles here apply to self-hosted: https://www.marcusquinn.com/make-your-own-one-page-website-with-free-hosting-for-eternity/

@marcusquinn As @girish said this probably wont be possible until we have support for multiple domains in an app. I would really like this, as the process for hosting and serving static pages would be quite a bit easier. It is always nice to have a page managed by the repo it is tied to. Thats pretty much the last thing I want out of GitLab on Cloudron. That and a GitLab Runner app.

This looks like it should be possible. I submitted a MR updating the manifest for multidomain support and will test after work today.

@atrilahiji I think we might have to package the GitLab pages app (it's a separate Go based server) first. And it is that app that needs multiDomain flag. The gitlab app itself seems to "push" pages into the GitLab pages app using a shared volume.

@girish ah I see. I’ll take a look at that as soon as I can

I noticed someone came along and liked my last post. FYI I am not looking at this as I switched to Gitea + Drone CI
