+
+You can disable the embedded Container Registry to use an external one, but
+still use GitLab as an auth endpoint.
+
+**Omnibus GitLab**
+1. Open `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` and set necessary configurations:

+ gitlab_rails['registry_host'] = "registry.gitlab.example.com"

+ gitlab_rails['registry_issuer'] = "omnibus-gitlab-issuer"
+ ```
+
+1. Save the file and [reconfigure GitLab][] for the changes to take effect.
+
+**Installations from source**
+
+1. Open `/home/git/gitlab/config/gitlab.yml`, and edit the configuration settings under `registry`:
+
+ ```
+ ## Container Registry

#### Frustrations
##### Adoption to GitLab has been slow
-Not only has the engineering team had to get to grips with Git, they’ve also had to adapt to using GitLab. Due to lack of training and existing skills in other tools, the full feature set of GitLab CE is not being utilised. Steven sold GitLab to his manager as an ‘all in one’ tool which would replace multiple tools used within the company, thus saving costs. Steven hasn’t had the time to integrate the legacy tools to GitLab and he’s struggling to convince his peers to change their habits.

##### Missing Features
-Steven’s company want GitLab to be able to do everything. There isn’t a large budget for software, so they’re selective about what tools are implemented. It needs to add real value to the company. In order for GitLab to be widely adopted and to meet the requirements of different roles within the company, it needs a host of features. When an individual within Steven’s company wants to know if GitLab has a specific feature or does a particular thing, Steven is the person to ask. He becomes the point of contact to investigate, build or sometimes just raise the feature request. Steven gets frustrated when GitLab isn’t able to do what he or his colleagues need it to do.

More generally, I have the feeling that GitLab focus on adding new functionalities, but overlook a bunch of annoying minor regressions or introduced bugs.” Due to limited resource and expertise within the team, not only is it difficult to remain up-to-date with the frequent release cycle, it’s also counterproductive to fix workflows every month.

-----
-
-This is a comprehensive guide, made for those who want to
-publish a website with GitLab Pages but aren't familiar with
-the entire process involved.
-
-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).
-
->**Note:**
-For this guide, we assume you already have GitLab Pages
-server up and running for your GitLab instance.
-
-## What you need to know before getting started
-
-Before we begin, let's understand a few concepts first.
-
-### Static sites
-
-GitLab Pages only supports static websites, meaning,
-your output files must be HTML, CSS, and JavaScript only.
-
-To create your static site, you can either hardcode in HTML,
-CSS, and JS, or use a [Static Site Generator (SSG)](https://www.staticgen.com/)
-to simplify your code and build the static site for you,
-which is highly recommendable and much faster than hardcoding.
-
----
-
-- Read through this technical overview on [Static versus Dynamic Websites](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/06/03/ssg-overview-gitlab-pages-part-1-dynamic-x-static/)
-- Understand [how modern Static Site Generators work](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/06/10/ssg-overview-gitlab-pages-part-2/) and what you can add to your static site
-- You can use [any SSG with GitLab Pages](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/06/17/ssg-overview-gitlab-pages-part-3-examples-ci/)
-- Fork an [example project](https://gitlab.com/pages) to build your website based upon
-
-### GitLab Pages domain
-
-If you set up a GitLab Pages project on GitLab.com,
-it will automatically be accessible under a
-[subdomain of `namespace.pages.io`](https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/pages/).
-The `namespace` is defined by your username on GitLab.com,
-or the group name you created this project under.
-
->**Note:**
-If you use your own GitLab instance to deploy your
-site with GitLab Pages, check with your sysadmin what's your
-Pages wildcard domain. This guide is valid for any GitLab instance,
-you just need to replace Pages wildcard domain on GitLab.com
-(`*.gitlab.io`) with your own.
-
-#### Practical examples
-
-**Project Websites:**
-
-- You created a project called `blog` under your username `john`,
-therefore your project URL is `https://gitlab.com/john/blog/`.
-Once you enable GitLab Pages for this project, and build your site,
-it will be available under `https://john.gitlab.io/blog/`.
-- You created a group for all your websites called `websites`,
-and a project within this group is called `blog`. Your project
-URL is `https://gitlab.com/websites/blog/`. Once you enable
-GitLab Pages for this project, the site will live under
-`https://websites.gitlab.io/blog/`.
-
-**User and Group Websites:**
-
-- Under your username, `john`, you created a project called
-`john.gitlab.io`. Your project URL will be `https://gitlab.com/john/john.gitlab.io`.
-Once you enable GitLab Pages for your project, your website
-will be published under `https://john.gitlab.io`.
-- Under your group `websites`, you created a project called
-`websites.gitlab.io`. your project's URL will be `https://gitlab.com/websites/websites.gitlab.io`. Once you enable GitLab Pages for your project,
-your website will be published under `https://websites.gitlab.io`.
-
-**General example:**
-
-- On GitLab.com, a project site will always be available under
-`https://namespace.gitlab.io/project-name`
-- On GitLab.com, a user or group website will be available under
-`https://namespace.gitlab.io/`
-- On your GitLab instance, replace `gitlab.io` above with your
-Pages server domain. Ask your sysadmin for this information.
-
-### DNS Records
-
-A Domain Name System (DNS) web service routes visitors to websites
-by translating domain names (such as `www.example.com`) into the
-numeric IP addresses (such as `192.0.2.1`) that computers use to
-connect to each other.
-
-A DNS record is created to point a (sub)domain to a certain location,
-which can be an IP address or another domain. In case you want to use
-GitLab Pages with your own (sub)domain, you need to access your domain's
-registrar control panel to add a DNS record pointing it back to your
-GitLab Pages site.
-
-Note that **how to** add DNS records depends on which server your domain
-is hosted on. Every control panel has its own place to do it. If you are
-not an admin of your domain, and don't have access to your registrar,
-you'll need to ask for the technical support of your hosting service
-to do it for you.
-
-To help you out, we've gathered some instructions on how to do that
-for the most popular hosting services:

-- [Microsoft](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727018.aspx)
-
-If your hosting service is not listed above, you can just try to
-search the web for "how to add dns record on <my hosting service>".
-
-#### DNS A record
-
-In case you want to point a root domain (`example.com`) to your
-GitLab Pages site, deployed to `namespace.gitlab.io`, you need to
-log into your domain's admin control panel and add a DNS `A` record
-pointing your domain to Pages' server IP address. For projects on
-GitLab.com, this IP is `104.208.235.32`. For projects leaving in
-other GitLab instances (CE or EE), please contact your sysadmin
-asking for this information (which IP address is Pages server
-running on your instance).
-
-**Practical Example:**
-
-![DNS A record pointing to GitLab.com Pages server](img/dns_a_record_example.png)
-
-#### DNS CNAME record
-
-In case you want to point a subdomain (`hello-world.example.com`)
-to your GitLab Pages site initially deployed to `namespace.gitlab.io`,
-you need to log into your domain's admin control panel and add a DNS
-`CNAME` record pointing your subdomain to your website URL
-(`namespace.gitlab.io`) address.
-
-Notice that, despite it's a user or project website, the `CNAME`
-should point to your Pages domain (`namespace.gitlab.io`),
-without any `/project-name`.
-
-**Practical Example:**
-
-![DNS CNAME record pointing to GitLab.com project](img/dns_cname_record_example.png)
-
-#### TL;DR
-
-| From | DNS Record | To |
-| ---- | ---------- | -- |
-| domain.com | A | 104.208.235.32 |
-| subdomain.domain.com | CNAME | namespace.gitlab.io |
-
-> **Notes**:
->
-> - **Do not** use a CNAME record if you want to point your
-`domain.com` to your GitLab Pages site. Use an `A` record instead.
-> - **Do not** add any special chars after the default Pages
-domain. E.g., **do not** point your `subdomain.domain.com` to
-`namespace.gitlab.io.` or `namespace.gitlab.io/`.
-
-### SSL/TLS Certificates
-
-Every GitLab Pages project on GitLab.com will be available under
-HTTPS for the default Pages domain (`*.gitlab.io`). Once you set
-up your Pages project with your custom (sub)domain, if you want
-it secured by HTTPS, you will have to issue a certificate for that
-(sub)domain and install it on your project.
-
->**Note:**
-Certificates are NOT required to add to your custom
-(sub)domain on your GitLab Pages project, though they are
-highly recommendable.
-
-The importance of having any website securely served under HTTPS
-is explained on the introductory section of the blog post
-[Secure GitLab Pages with StartSSL](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/06/24/secure-gitlab-pages-with-startssl/#https-a-quick-overview).
-
-The reason why certificates are so important is that they encrypt
-the connection between the **client** (you, me, your visitors)
-and the **server** (where you site lives), through a keychain of
-authentications and validations.
-
-### Issuing Certificates
-
-GitLab Pages accepts [PEM](https://support.quovadisglobal.com/kb/a37/what-is-pem-format.aspx) certificates issued by
-[Certificate Authorities (CA)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority)
-and self-signed certificates. Of course,
-[you'd rather issue a certificate than generate a self-signed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-signed_certificate),
-for security reasons and for having browsers trusting your
-site's certificate.
-
-There are several different kinds of certificates, each one
-with certain security level. A static personal website will
-not require the same security level as an online banking web app,
-for instance. There are a couple Certificate Authorities that
-offer free certificates, aiming to make the internet more secure
-to everyone. The most popular is [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/),
-which issues certificates trusted by most of browsers, it's open
-source, and free to use. Please read through this tutorial to
-understand [how to secure your GitLab Pages website with Let's Encrypt](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/04/11/tutorial-securing-your-gitlab-pages-with-tls-and-letsencrypt/).
-
-With the same popularity, there are [certificates issued by CloudFlare](https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/),
-which also offers a [free CDN service](https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflares-free-cdn-and-you/).
-Their certs are valid up to 15 years. Read through the tutorial on
-[how to add a CloudFlare Certificate to your GitLab Pages website](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/02/07/setting-up-gitlab-pages-with-cloudflare-certificates/).
-
-### Adding certificates to your project
-
-Regardless the CA you choose, the steps to add your certificate to
-your Pages project are the same.
-
-#### What do you need
-
-1. A PEM certificate
-1. An intermediate certificate
-1. A public key
-
-![Pages project - adding certificates](img/add_certificate_to_pages.png)
-
-These fields are found under your **Project**'s **Settings** > **Pages** > **New Domain**.
-
-#### What's what?
-
-- A PEM certificate is the certificate generated by the CA,
-which needs to be added to the field **Certificate (PEM)**.
-- An [intermediate certificate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_certificate_authority) (aka "root certificate") is
-the part of the encryption keychain that identifies the CA.
-Usually it's combined with the PEM certificate, but there are
-some cases in which you need to add them manually.
-[CloudFlare certs](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/02/07/setting-up-gitlab-pages-with-cloudflare-certificates/)
-are one of these cases.
-- A public key is an encrypted key which validates
-your PEM against your domain.
-
-#### Now what?
-
-Now that you hopefully understand why you need all
-of this, it's simple:
-
-- Your PEM certificate needs to be added to the first field
-- If your certificate is missing its intermediate, copy
-and paste the root certificate (usually available from your CA website)
-and paste it in the [same field as your PEM certificate](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/02/07/setting-up-gitlab-pages-with-cloudflare-certificates/),
-just jumping a line between them.
-- Copy your public key and paste it in the last field
-
->**Note:**
-**Do not** open certificates or encryption keys in
-regular text editors. Always use code editors (such as
-Sublime Text, Atom, Dreamweaver, Brackets, etc).

-## Creating and Tweaking `.gitlab-ci.yml` for GitLab Pages
-
-[GitLab CI](https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-ci/) serves
-numerous purposes, to build, test, and deploy your app
-from GitLab through
-[Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Deployment](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/08/05/continuous-integration-delivery-and-deployment-with-gitlab/)
-methods. You will need it to build your website with GitLab Pages,
-and deploy it to the Pages server.
-
-What this file actually does is telling the
-[GitLab Runner](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/) to run scripts
-as you would do from the command line. The Runner acts as your
-terminal. GitLab CI tells the Runner which commands to run.
-Both are built-in in GitLab, and you don't need to set up
-anything for them to work.
-
-Explaining [every detail of GitLab CI](https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/yaml/README.html)
-and GitLab Runner is out of the scope of this guide, but we'll
-need to understand just a few things to be able to write our own
-`.gitlab-ci.yml` or tweak an existing one. It's an
-[Yaml](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/YAMLSyntax.html) file,
-with its own syntax. You can always check your CI syntax with
-the [GitLab CI Lint Tool](https://gitlab.com/ci/lint).
-
-**Practical Example:**
-
-Let's consider you have a [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/) site.
-To build it locally, you would open your terminal, and run `jekyll build`.
-Of course, before building it, you had to install Jekyll in your computer.
-For that, you had to open your terminal and run `gem install jekyll`.
-Right? GitLab CI + GitLab Runner do the same thing. But you need to
-write in the `.gitlab-ci.yml` the script you want to run so
-GitLab Runner will do it for you. It looks more complicated then it
-is. What you need to tell the Runner:
-
-```
-$ gem install jekyll
-$ jekyll build
-```
-
-### Script
-
-To transpose this script to Yaml, it would be like this:
-
-```yaml
-script:
- - gem install jekyll
- - jekyll build
-```
-
-### Job
-
-So far so good. Now, each `script`, in GitLab is organized by
-a `job`, which is a bunch of scripts and settings you want to
-apply to that specific task.
-
-```yaml
-job:
- script:
- - gem install jekyll
- - jekyll build
-```
-
-For GitLab Pages, this `job` has a specific name, called `pages`,
-which tells the Runner you want that task to deploy your website
-with GitLab Pages:
-
-```yaml
-pages:
- script:
- - gem install jekyll
- - jekyll build
-```
-
-### The `public` directory
-
-We also need to tell Jekyll where do you want the website to build,
-and GitLab Pages will only consider files in a directory called `public`.
-To do that with Jekyll, we need to add a flag specifying the
-[destination (`-d`)](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/usage/) of the
-built website: `jekyll build -d public`. Of course, we need
-to tell this to our Runner:
-
-```yaml
-pages:
- script:
- - gem install jekyll
- - jekyll build -d public
-```
-
-### Artifacts
-
-We also need to tell the Runner that this _job_ generates
-_artifacts_, which is the site built by Jekyll.
-Where are these artifacts stored? In the `public` directory:
-
-```yaml
-pages:
- script:
- - gem install jekyll
- - jekyll build -d public
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - public
-```
-
-The script above would be enough to build your Jekyll
-site with GitLab Pages. But, from Jekyll 3.4.0 on, its default
-template originated by `jekyll new project` requires
-[Bundler](http://bundler.io/) to install Jekyll dependencies
-and the default theme. To adjust our script to meet these new
-requirements, we only need to install and build Jekyll with Bundler:
-
-```yaml
-pages:
- script:
- - bundle install
- - bundle exec jekyll build -d public
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - public
-```
-
-That's it! A `.gitlab-ci.yml` with the content above would deploy
-your Jekyll 3.4.0 site with GitLab Pages. This is the minimum
-configuration for our example. On the steps below, we'll refine
-the script by adding extra options to our GitLab CI.
-
-### Image
-
-At this point, you probably ask yourself: "okay, but to install Jekyll
-I need Ruby. Where is Ruby on that script?". The answer is simple: the
-first thing GitLab Runner will look for in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` is a
-[Docker](https://www.docker.com/) image specifying what do you need in
-your container to run that script:
-
-```yaml
-image: ruby:2.3
-
-pages:
- script:
- - bundle install
- - bundle exec jekyll build -d public
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - public
-```
-
-In this case, you're telling the Runner to pull this image, which
-contains Ruby 2.3 as part of its file system. When you don't specify
-this image in your configuration, the Runner will use a default
-image, which is Ruby 2.1.
-
-If your SSG needs [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/) to build, you'll
-need to specify which image you want to use, and this image should
-contain NodeJS as part of its file system. E.g., for a
-[Hexo](https://gitlab.com/pages/hexo) site, you can use `image: node:4.2.2`.
-
->**Note:**
-We're not trying to explain what a Docker image is,
-we just need to introduce the concept with a minimum viable
-explanation. To know more about Docker images, please visit
-their website or take a look at a
-[summarized explanation](http://paislee.io/how-to-automate-docker-deployments/) here.
-
-Let's go a little further.
-
-### Branching
-
-If you use GitLab as a version control platform, you will have your
-branching strategy to work on your project. Meaning, you will have
-other branches in your project, but you'll want only pushes to the
-default branch (usually `master`) to be deployed to your website.
-To do that, we need to add another line to our CI, telling the Runner
-to only perform that _job_ called `pages` on the `master` branch `only`:
-
-```yaml
-image: ruby:2.3
-
-pages:
- script:
- - bundle install
- - bundle exec jekyll build -d public
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - public
- only:
- - master
-```
-
-### Stages
-
-Another interesting concept to keep in mind are build stages.
-Your web app can pass through a lot of tests and other tasks
-until it's deployed to staging or production environments.
-There are three default stages on GitLab CI: build, test,
-and deploy. To specify which stage your _job_ is running,
-simply add another line to your CI:
-
-```yaml
-image: ruby:2.3
-
-pages:
- stage: deploy
- script:
- - bundle install
- - bundle exec jekyll build -d public
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - public
- only:
- - master
-```
-
-You might ask yourself: "why should I bother with stages
-at all?" Well, let's say you want to be able to test your
-script and check the built site before deploying your site
-to production. You want to run the test exactly as your
-script will do when you push to `master`. It's simple,
-let's add another task (_job_) to our CI, telling it to
-test every push to other branches, `except` the `master` branch:
-
-```yaml
-image: ruby:2.3
-
-pages:
- stage: deploy
- script:
- - bundle install
- - bundle exec jekyll build -d public
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - public
- only:
- - master
-
-test:
- stage: test
- script:
- - bundle install
- - bundle exec jekyll build -d test
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - test
- except:
- - master
-```
-
-The `test` job is running on the stage `test`, Jekyll
-will build the site in a directory called `test`, and
-this job will affect all the branches except `master`.
-
-The best benefit of applying _stages_ to different
-_jobs_ is that every job in the same stage builds in
-parallel. So, if your web app needs more than one test
-before being deployed, you can run all your test at the
-same time, it's not necessary to wait one test to finish
-to run the other. Of course, this is just a brief
-introduction of GitLab CI and GitLab Runner, which are
-tools much more powerful than that. This is what you
-need to be able to create and tweak your builds for
-your GitLab Pages site.
-
-### Before Script
-
-To avoid running the same script multiple times across
-your _jobs_, you can add the parameter `before_script`,
-in which you specify which commands you want to run for
-every single _job_. In our example, notice that we run
-`bundle install` for both jobs, `pages` and `test`.
-We don't need to repeat it:
-
-```yaml
-image: ruby:2.3
-
-before_script:
- - bundle install
-
-pages:
- stage: deploy
- script:
- - bundle exec jekyll build -d public
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - public
- only:
- - master
-
-test:
- stage: test
- script:
- - bundle exec jekyll build -d test
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - test
- except:
- - master
-```
-
-### Caching Dependencies
-
-If you want to cache the installation files for your
-projects dependencies, for building faster, you can
-use the parameter `cache`. For this example, we'll
-cache Jekyll dependencies in a `vendor` directory
-when we run `bundle install`:
-
-```yaml
-image: ruby:2.3
-
-cache:
- paths:
- - vendor/
-
-before_script:
- - bundle install --path vendor
-
-pages:
- stage: deploy
- script:
- - bundle exec jekyll build -d public
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - public
- only:
- - master
-
-test:
- stage: test
- script:
- - bundle exec jekyll build -d test
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - test
- except:
- - master
-```
-
-For this specific case, we need to exclude `/vendor`
-from Jekyll `_config.yml` file, otherwise Jekyll will
-understand it as a regular directory to build
-together with the site:
-
-```yml
-exclude:
- - vendor
-```
-
-There we go! Now our GitLab CI not only builds our website,
-but also **continuously test** pushes to feature-branches,
-**caches** dependencies installed with Bundler, and
-**continuously deploy** every push to the `master` branch.
-
-## Advanced GitLab CI for GitLab Pages
-
-What you can do with GitLab CI is pretty much up to your
-creativity. Once you get used to it, you start creating
-awesome scripts that automate most of tasks you'd do
-manually in the past. Read through the
-[documentation of GitLab CI](https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/yaml/README.html)
-to understand how to go even further on your scripts.

-## Setting up GitLab Pages
-
-For a complete step-by-step tutorial, please read the
-blog post [Hosting on GitLab.com with GitLab Pages](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/04/07/gitlab-pages-setup/). The following sections will explain
-what do you need and why do you need them.
-
-## What you need to get started
-
-1. A project
-1. A configuration file (`.gitlab-ci.yml`) to deploy your site
-1. A specific `job` called `pages` in the configuration file
-that will make GitLab aware that you are deploying a GitLab Pages website
-
-Optional Features:
-
-1. A custom domain or subdomain
-1. A DNS pointing your (sub)domain to your Pages site
- 1. **Optional**: an SSL/TLS certificate so your custom
- domain is accessible under HTTPS.
-
-## Project
-
-Your GitLab Pages project is a regular project created the
-same way you do for the other ones. To get started with GitLab Pages, you have two ways:
-
-- Fork one of the templates from Page Examples, or
-- Create a new project from scratch
-
-Let's go over both options.
-
-### Fork a project to get started from
-
-To make things easy for you, we've created this
-[group](https://gitlab.com/pages) of default projects
-containing the most popular SSGs templates.
-
-Watch the [video tutorial](https://youtu.be/TWqh9MtT4Bg) we've
-created for the steps below.
-
-1. Choose your SSG template
-1. Fork a project from the [Pages group](https://gitlab.com/pages)
-1. Remove the fork relationship by navigating to your **Project**'s **Settings** > **Edit Project**
-
- ![remove fork relashionship](img/remove_fork_relashionship.png)
-
-1. Enable Shared Runners for your fork: navigate to your **Project**'s **Settings** > **CI/CD Pipelines**
-1. Trigger a build (push a change to any file)
-1. As soon as the build passes, your website will have been deployed with GitLab Pages. Your website URL will be available under your **Project**'s **Settings** > **Pages**
-
-To turn a **project website** forked from the Pages group into a **user/group** website, you'll need to:
-
-- Rename it to `namespace.gitlab.io`: navigate to **Project**'s **Settings** > **Edit Project** > **Rename repository**
-- Adjust your SSG's [base URL](#urls-and-baseurls) to from `"project-name"` to `""`. This setting will be at a different place for each SSG, as each of them have their own structure and file tree. Most likelly, it will be in the SSG's config file.
-
-> **Notes:**
->
->1. Why do I need to remove the fork relationship?
->
-> Unless you want to contribute to the original project,
-you won't need it connected to the upstream. A
-[fork](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/12/01/how-to-keep-your-fork-up-to-date-with-its-origin/#fork)
-is useful for submitting merge requests to the upstream.
->
-> 2. Why do I need to enable Shared Runners?
->
-> Shared Runners will run the script set by your GitLab CI
-configuration file. They're enabled by default to new projects,
-but not to forks.
-
-### Create a project from scratch
-
-1. From your **Project**'s **[Dashboard](https://gitlab.com/dashboard/projects)**,
-click **New project**, and name it considering the
-[practical examples](getting_started_part_one.md#practical-examples).
-1. Clone it to your local computer, add your website
-files to your project, add, commit and push to GitLab.
-1. From the your **Project**'s page, click **Set up CI**:
-
- ![setup GitLab CI](img/setup_ci.png)
-
-1. Choose one of the templates from the dropbox menu.
-Pick up the template corresponding to the SSG you're using (or plain HTML).
-
- ![gitlab-ci templates](img/choose_ci_template.png)
-
-Once you have both site files and `.gitlab-ci.yml` in your project's
-root, GitLab CI will build your site and deploy it with Pages.
-Once the first build passes, you see your site is live by
-navigating to your **Project**'s **Settings** > **Pages**,
-where you'll find its default URL.
-
-> **Notes:**
->
-> - GitLab Pages [supports any SSG](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/06/17/ssg-overview-gitlab-pages-part-3-examples-ci/), but,
-if you don't find yours among the templates, you'll need
-to configure your own `.gitlab-ci.yml`. Do do that, please
-read through the article [Creating and Tweaking `.gitlab-ci.yml` for GitLab Pages](getting_started_part_three.md). New SSGs are very welcome among
-the [example projects](https://gitlab.com/pages). If you set
-up a new one, please
-[contribute](https://gitlab.com/pages/pages.gitlab.io/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
-to our examples.
->
-> - The second step _"Clone it to your local computer"_, can be done
-differently, achieving the same results: instead of cloning the bare
-repository to you local computer and moving your site files into it,
-you can run `git init` in your local website directory, add the
-remote URL: `git remote add origin git@gitlab.com:namespace/project-name.git`,
-then add, commit, and push.
-
-### URLs and Baseurls
-
-Every Static Site Generator (SSG) default configuration expects
-to find your website under a (sub)domain (`example.com`), not
-in a subdirectory of that domain (`example.com/subdir`). Therefore,
-whenever you publish a project website (`namespace.gitlab.io/project-name`),
-you'll have to look for this configuration (base URL) on your SSG's
-documentation and set it up to reflect this pattern.
-
-For example, for a Jekyll site, the `baseurl` is defined in the Jekyll
-configuration file, `_config.yml`. If your website URL is
-`https://john.gitlab.io/blog/`, you need to add this line to `_config.yml`:
-
-```yaml
-baseurl: "/blog"
-```
-
-On the contrary, if you deploy your website after forking one of
-our [default examples](https://gitlab.com/pages), the baseurl will
-already be configured this way, as all examples there are project
-websites. If you decide to make yours a user or group website, you'll
-have to remove this configuration from your project. For the Jekyll
-example we've just mentioned, you'd have to change Jekyll's `_config.yml` to:
-
-```yaml
-baseurl: ""
-```

+## Creating and Tweaking `.gitlab-ci.yml` for GitLab Pages
+
+[GitLab CI](https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-ci/) serves
+numerous purposes, to build, test, and deploy your app
+from GitLab through
+[Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, and Continuous Deployment](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/08/05/continuous-integration-delivery-and-deployment-with-gitlab/)
+methods. You will need it to build your website with GitLab Pages,
+and deploy it to the Pages server.
+
+What this file actually does is telling the
+[GitLab Runner](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/) to run scripts
+as you would do from the command line. The Runner acts as your
+terminal. GitLab CI tells the Runner which commands to run.
+Both are built-in in GitLab, and you don't need to set up
+anything for them to work.
+
+Explaining [every detail of GitLab CI](https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/yaml/README.html)
+and GitLab Runner is out of the scope of this guide, but we'll
+need to understand just a few things to be able to write our own
+`.gitlab-ci.yml` or tweak an existing one. It's an
+[Yaml](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/YAMLSyntax.html) file,
+with its own syntax. You can always check your CI syntax with
+the [GitLab CI Lint Tool](https://gitlab.com/ci/lint).
+
+**Practical Example:**
+
+Let's consider you have a [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/) site.
+To build it locally, you would open your terminal, and run `jekyll build`.
+Of course, before building it, you had to install Jekyll in your computer.
+For that, you had to open your terminal and run `gem install jekyll`.
+Right? GitLab CI + GitLab Runner do the same thing. But you need to
+write in the `.gitlab-ci.yml` the script you want to run so
+GitLab Runner will do it for you. It looks more complicated then it
+is. What you need to tell the Runner:
+
+```
+$ gem install jekyll
+$ jekyll build
+```
+
+### Script
+
+To transpose this script to Yaml, it would be like this:
+
+```yaml
+script:
+ - gem install jekyll
+ - jekyll build
+```
+
+### Job
+
+So far so good. Now, each `script`, in GitLab is organized by
+a `job`, which is a bunch of scripts and settings you want to
+apply to that specific task.
+
+```yaml
+job:
+ script:
+ - gem install jekyll
+ - jekyll build
+```
+
+For GitLab Pages, this `job` has a specific name, called `pages`,
+which tells the Runner you want that task to deploy your website
+with GitLab Pages:
+
+```yaml
+pages:
+ script:
+ - gem install jekyll
+ - jekyll build
+```
+
+### The `public` directory
+
+We also need to tell Jekyll where do you want the website to build,
+and GitLab Pages will only consider files in a directory called `public`.
+To do that with Jekyll, we need to add a flag specifying the
+[destination (`-d`)](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/usage/) of the
+built website: `jekyll build -d public`. Of course, we need
+to tell this to our Runner:
+
+```yaml
+pages:
+ script:
+ - gem install jekyll
+ - jekyll build -d public
+```
+
+### Artifacts
+
+We also need to tell the Runner that this _job_ generates
+_artifacts_, which is the site built by Jekyll.
+Where are these artifacts stored? In the `public` directory:
+
+```yaml
+pages:
+ script:
+ - gem install jekyll
+ - jekyll build -d public
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - public
+```
+
+The script above would be enough to build your Jekyll
+site with GitLab Pages. But, from Jekyll 3.4.0 on, its default
+template originated by `jekyll new project` requires
+[Bundler](http://bundler.io/) to install Jekyll dependencies
+and the default theme. To adjust our script to meet these new
+requirements, we only need to install and build Jekyll with Bundler:
+
+```yaml
+pages:
+ script:
+ - bundle install
+ - bundle exec jekyll build -d public
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - public
+```
+
+That's it! A `.gitlab-ci.yml` with the content above would deploy
+your Jekyll 3.4.0 site with GitLab Pages. This is the minimum
+configuration for our example. On the steps below, we'll refine
+the script by adding extra options to our GitLab CI.
+
+### Image
+
+At this point, you probably ask yourself: "okay, but to install Jekyll
+I need Ruby. Where is Ruby on that script?". The answer is simple: the
+first thing GitLab Runner will look for in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` is a
+[Docker](https://www.docker.com/) image specifying what do you need in
+your container to run that script:
+
+```yaml
+image: ruby:2.3
+
+pages:
+ script:
+ - bundle install
+ - bundle exec jekyll build -d public
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - public
+```
+
+In this case, you're telling the Runner to pull this image, which
+contains Ruby 2.3 as part of its file system. When you don't specify
+this image in your configuration, the Runner will use a default
+image, which is Ruby 2.1.
+
+If your SSG needs [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/) to build, you'll
+need to specify which image you want to use, and this image should
+contain NodeJS as part of its file system. E.g., for a
+[Hexo](https://gitlab.com/pages/hexo) site, you can use `image: node:4.2.2`.
+
+>**Note:**
+We're not trying to explain what a Docker image is,
+we just need to introduce the concept with a minimum viable
+explanation. To know more about Docker images, please visit
+their website or take a look at a
+[summarized explanation](http://paislee.io/how-to-automate-docker-deployments/) here.
+
+Let's go a little further.
+
+### Branching
+
+If you use GitLab as a version control platform, you will have your
+branching strategy to work on your project. Meaning, you will have
+other branches in your project, but you'll want only pushes to the
+default branch (usually `master`) to be deployed to your website.
+To do that, we need to add another line to our CI, telling the Runner
+to only perform that _job_ called `pages` on the `master` branch `only`:
+
+```yaml
+image: ruby:2.3
+
+pages:
+ script:
+ - bundle install
+ - bundle exec jekyll build -d public
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - public
+ only:
+ - master
+```
+
+### Stages
+
+Another interesting concept to keep in mind are build stages.
+Your web app can pass through a lot of tests and other tasks
+until it's deployed to staging or production environments.
+There are three default stages on GitLab CI: build, test,
+and deploy. To specify which stage your _job_ is running,
+simply add another line to your CI:
+
+```yaml
+image: ruby:2.3
+
+pages:
+ stage: deploy
+ script:
+ - bundle install
+ - bundle exec jekyll build -d public
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - public
+ only:
+ - master
+```
+
+You might ask yourself: "why should I bother with stages
+at all?" Well, let's say you want to be able to test your
+script and check the built site before deploying your site
+to production. You want to run the test exactly as your
+script will do when you push to `master`. It's simple,
+let's add another task (_job_) to our CI, telling it to
+test every push to other branches, `except` the `master` branch:
+
+```yaml
+image: ruby:2.3
+
+pages:
+ stage: deploy
+ script:
+ - bundle install
+ - bundle exec jekyll build -d public
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - public
+ only:
+ - master
+
+test:
+ stage: test
+ script:
+ - bundle install
+ - bundle exec jekyll build -d test
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - test
+ except:
+ - master
+```
+
+The `test` job is running on the stage `test`, Jekyll
+will build the site in a directory called `test`, and
+this job will affect all the branches except `master`.
+
+The best benefit of applying _stages_ to different
+_jobs_ is that every job in the same stage builds in
+parallel. So, if your web app needs more than one test
+before being deployed, you can run all your test at the
+same time, it's not necessary to wait one test to finish
+to run the other. Of course, this is just a brief
+introduction of GitLab CI and GitLab Runner, which are
+tools much more powerful than that. This is what you
+need to be able to create and tweak your builds for
+your GitLab Pages site.
+
+### Before Script
+
+To avoid running the same script multiple times across
+your _jobs_, you can add the parameter `before_script`,
+in which you specify which commands you want to run for
+every single _job_. In our example, notice that we run
+`bundle install` for both jobs, `pages` and `test`.
+We don't need to repeat it:
+
+```yaml
+image: ruby:2.3
+
+before_script:
+ - bundle install
+
+pages:
+ stage: deploy
+ script:
+ - bundle exec jekyll build -d public
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - public
+ only:
+ - master
+
+test:
+ stage: test
+ script:
+ - bundle exec jekyll build -d test
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - test
+ except:
+ - master
+```
+
+### Caching Dependencies
+
+If you want to cache the installation files for your
+projects dependencies, for building faster, you can
+use the parameter `cache`. For this example, we'll
+cache Jekyll dependencies in a `vendor` directory
+when we run `bundle install`:
+
+```yaml
+image: ruby:2.3
+
+cache:
+ paths:
+ - vendor/
+
+before_script:
+ - bundle install --path vendor
+
+pages:
+ stage: deploy
+ script:
+ - bundle exec jekyll build -d public
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - public
+ only:
+ - master
+
+test:
+ stage: test
+ script:
+ - bundle exec jekyll build -d test
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - test
+ except:
+ - master
+```
+
+For this specific case, we need to exclude `/vendor`
+from Jekyll `_config.yml` file, otherwise Jekyll will
+understand it as a regular directory to build
+together with the site:
+
+```yml
+exclude:
+ - vendor
+```
+
+There we go! Now our GitLab CI not only builds our website,
+but also **continuously test** pushes to feature-branches,
+**caches** dependencies installed with Bundler, and
+**continuously deploy** every push to the `master` branch.
+
+## Advanced GitLab CI for GitLab Pages
+
+What you can do with GitLab CI is pretty much up to your
+creativity. Once you get used to it, you start creating
+awesome scripts that automate most of tasks you'd do
+manually in the past. Read through the
+[documentation of GitLab CI](https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/ci/yaml/README.html)
+to understand how to go even further on your scripts.

+
+## GitLab Pages form A to Z
+
+This is 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 part](#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 part](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 part](getting_started_part_three.md) will show you how to set up a custom domain or subdomain
+to your site already deployed.
+
+The [fourth part](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).
+
+>**Note:**
+For this guide, we assume you already have GitLab Pages
+server up and running for your GitLab instance.
+
+## What you need to know before getting started
+
+Before we begin, let's understand a few concepts first.
+
+### Static sites
+
+GitLab Pages only supports static websites, meaning,
+your output files must be HTML, CSS, and JavaScript only.
+
+To create your static site, you can either hardcode in HTML,
+CSS, and JS, or use a [Static Site Generator (SSG)](https://www.staticgen.com/)
+to simplify your code and build the static site for you,
+which is highly recommendable and much faster than hardcoding.
+
+#### Further Reading
+
+- Read through this technical overview on [Static versus Dynamic Websites](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/06/03/ssg-overview-gitlab-pages-part-1-dynamic-x-static/)
+- Understand [how modern Static Site Generators work](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/06/10/ssg-overview-gitlab-pages-part-2/) and what you can add to your static site
+- You can use [any SSG with GitLab Pages](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/06/17/ssg-overview-gitlab-pages-part-3-examples-ci/)
+- Fork an [example project](https://gitlab.com/pages) to build your website based upon
+
+### GitLab Pages domain
+
+If you set up a GitLab Pages project on GitLab.com,
+it will automatically be accessible under a
+[subdomain of `namespace.pages.io`](https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/user/project/pages/).
+The `namespace` is defined by your username on GitLab.com,
+or the group name you created this project under.
+
+>**Note:**
+If you use your own GitLab instance to deploy your
+site with GitLab Pages, check with your sysadmin what's your
+Pages wildcard domain. This guide is valid for any GitLab instance,
+you just need to replace Pages wildcard domain on GitLab.com
+(`*.gitlab.io`) with your own.
+
+#### Practical examples
+
+**Project Websites:**
+
+- You created a project called `blog` under your username `john`,
+therefore your project URL is `https://gitlab.com/john/blog/`.
+Once you enable GitLab Pages for this project, and build your site,
+it will be available under `https://john.gitlab.io/blog/`.
+- You created a group for all your websites called `websites`,
+and a project within this group is called `blog`. Your project
+URL is `https://gitlab.com/websites/blog/`. Once you enable
+GitLab Pages for this project, the site will live under
+`https://websites.gitlab.io/blog/`.
+
+**User and Group Websites:**
+
+- Under your username, `john`, you created a project called
+`john.gitlab.io`. Your project URL will be `https://gitlab.com/john/john.gitlab.io`.
+Once you enable GitLab Pages for your project, your website
+will be published under `https://john.gitlab.io`.
+- Under your group `websites`, you created a project called
+`websites.gitlab.io`. your project's URL will be `https://gitlab.com/websites/websites.gitlab.io`. Once you enable GitLab Pages for your project,
+your website will be published under `https://websites.gitlab.io`.
+
+**General example:**
+
+- On GitLab.com, a project site will always be available under
+`https://namespace.gitlab.io/project-name`
+- On GitLab.com, a user or group website will be available under
+`https://namespace.gitlab.io/`
+- On your GitLab instance, replace `gitlab.io` above with your
+Pages server domain. Ask your sysadmin for this information.

+# GitLab Pages from A to Z: Part 3
+
+- [Part 1: Static sites and GitLab Pages domains](getting_started_part_one.md)
+- [Part 2: Quick start guide - Setting up GitLab Pages](getting_started_part_two.md)
+- **Part 3: Setting Up Custom Domains - DNS Records and SSL/TLS Certificates**
+- [Part 4: Creating and tweaking `.gitlab-ci.yml` for GitLab Pages](getting_started_part_four.md)
+
+## Setting Up Custom Domains - DNS Records and SSL/TLS Certificates
+
+As described in the previous part of this series, setting up GitLab Pages with custom domains, and adding SSL/TLS certificates to them, are optional features of GitLab Pages.
+
+These steps assume you've already [set your site up](getting_started_part_two.md) and and it's served under the default Pages domain `namespace.gitlab.io`, or `namespace.gitlab.io/project-name`.
+
+### DNS Records
+
+A Domain Name System (DNS) web service routes visitors to websites
+by translating domain names (such as `www.example.com`) into the
+numeric IP addresses (such as `192.0.2.1`) that computers use to
+connect to each other.
+
+A DNS record is created to point a (sub)domain to a certain location,
+which can be an IP address or another domain. In case you want to use
+GitLab Pages with your own (sub)domain, you need to access your domain's
+registrar control panel to add a DNS record pointing it back to your
+GitLab Pages site.
+
+Note that **how to** add DNS records depends on which server your domain
+is hosted on. Every control panel has its own place to do it. If you are
+not an admin of your domain, and don't have access to your registrar,
+you'll need to ask for the technical support of your hosting service
+to do it for you.
+
+To help you out, we've gathered some instructions on how to do that
+for the most popular hosting services:
+
+- [Amazon](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/gettingstarted/latest/swh/getting-started-configure-route53.html)
+- [Bluehost](https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/559)
+- [CloudFlare](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200169096-How-do-I-add-A-records-)
+- [cPanel](https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/ALD/Edit+DNS+Zone)
+- [DreamHost](https://help.dreamhost.com/hc/en-us/articles/215414867-How-do-I-add-custom-DNS-records-)
+- [Go Daddy](https://www.godaddy.com/help/add-an-a-record-19238)
+- [Hostgator](http://support.hostgator.com/articles/changing-dns-records)
+- [Inmotion hosting](https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/559)
+- [Media Temple](https://mediatemple.net/community/products/dv/204403794/how-can-i-change-the-dns-records-for-my-domain)
+- [Microsoft](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727018.aspx)
+
+If your hosting service is not listed above, you can just try to
+search the web for "how to add dns record on <my hosting service>".
+
+#### DNS A record
+
+In case you want to point a root domain (`example.com`) to your
+GitLab Pages site, deployed to `namespace.gitlab.io`, you need to
+log into your domain's admin control panel and add a DNS `A` record
+pointing your domain to Pages' server IP address. For projects on
+GitLab.com, this IP is `104.208.235.32`. For projects leaving in
+other GitLab instances (CE or EE), please contact your sysadmin
+asking for this information (which IP address is Pages server
+running on your instance).
+
+**Practical Example:**
+
+![DNS A record pointing to GitLab.com Pages server](img/dns_a_record_example.png)
+
+#### DNS CNAME record
+
+In case you want to point a subdomain (`hello-world.example.com`)
+to your GitLab Pages site initially deployed to `namespace.gitlab.io`,
+you need to log into your domain's admin control panel and add a DNS
+`CNAME` record pointing your subdomain to your website URL
+(`namespace.gitlab.io`) address.
+
+Notice that, despite it's a user or project website, the `CNAME`
+should point to your Pages domain (`namespace.gitlab.io`),
+without any `/project-name`.
+
+**Practical Example:**
+
+![DNS CNAME record pointing to GitLab.com project](img/dns_cname_record_example.png)
+
+#### TL;DR
+
+| From | DNS Record | To |
+| ---- | ---------- | -- |
+| domain.com | A | 104.208.235.32 |
+| subdomain.domain.com | CNAME | namespace.gitlab.io |
+
+> **Notes**:
+>
+> - **Do not** use a CNAME record if you want to point your
+`domain.com` to your GitLab Pages site. Use an `A` record instead.
+> - **Do not** add any special chars after the default Pages
+domain. E.g., **do not** point your `subdomain.domain.com` to
+`namespace.gitlab.io.` or `namespace.gitlab.io/`.
+
+### SSL/TLS Certificates
+
+Every GitLab Pages project on GitLab.com will be available under
+HTTPS for the default Pages domain (`*.gitlab.io`). Once you set
+up your Pages project with your custom (sub)domain, if you want
+it secured by HTTPS, you will have to issue a certificate for that
+(sub)domain and install it on your project.
+
+>**Note:**
+Certificates are NOT required to add to your custom
+(sub)domain on your GitLab Pages project, though they are
+highly recommendable.
+
+The importance of having any website securely served under HTTPS
+is explained on the introductory section of the blog post
+[Secure GitLab Pages with StartSSL](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/06/24/secure-gitlab-pages-with-startssl/#https-a-quick-overview).
+
+The reason why certificates are so important is that they encrypt
+the connection between the **client** (you, me, your visitors)
+and the **server** (where you site lives), through a keychain of
+authentications and validations.
+
+### Issuing Certificates
+
+GitLab Pages accepts [PEM](https://support.quovadisglobal.com/kb/a37/what-is-pem-format.aspx) certificates issued by
+[Certificate Authorities (CA)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_authority)
+and self-signed certificates. Of course,
+[you'd rather issue a certificate than generate a self-signed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-signed_certificate),
+for security reasons and for having browsers trusting your
+site's certificate.
+
+There are several different kinds of certificates, each one
+with certain security level. A static personal website will
+not require the same security level as an online banking web app,
+for instance. There are a couple Certificate Authorities that
+offer free certificates, aiming to make the internet more secure
+to everyone. The most popular is [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/),
+which issues certificates trusted by most of browsers, it's open
+source, and free to use. Please read through this tutorial to
+understand [how to secure your GitLab Pages website with Let's Encrypt](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/04/11/tutorial-securing-your-gitlab-pages-with-tls-and-letsencrypt/).
+
+With the same popularity, there are [certificates issued by CloudFlare](https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl/),
+which also offers a [free CDN service](https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflares-free-cdn-and-you/).
+Their certs are valid up to 15 years. Read through the tutorial on
+[how to add a CloudFlare Certificate to your GitLab Pages website](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/02/07/setting-up-gitlab-pages-with-cloudflare-certificates/).
+
+### Adding certificates to your project
+
+Regardless the CA you choose, the steps to add your certificate to
+your Pages project are the same.
+
+#### What do you need
+
+1. A PEM certificate
+1. An intermediate certificate
+1. A public key
+
+![Pages project - adding certificates](img/add_certificate_to_pages.png)
+
+These fields are found under your **Project**'s **Settings** > **Pages** > **New Domain**.
+
+#### What's what?
+
+- A PEM certificate is the certificate generated by the CA,
+which needs to be added to the field **Certificate (PEM)**.
+- An [intermediate certificate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermediate_certificate_authority) (aka "root certificate") is
+the part of the encryption keychain that identifies the CA.
+Usually it's combined with the PEM certificate, but there are
+some cases in which you need to add them manually.
+[CloudFlare certs](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/02/07/setting-up-gitlab-pages-with-cloudflare-certificates/)
+are one of these cases.
+- A public key is an encrypted key which validates
+your PEM against your domain.
+
+#### Now what?
+
+Now that you hopefully understand why you need all
+of this, it's simple:
+
+- Your PEM certificate needs to be added to the first field
+- If your certificate is missing its intermediate, copy
+and paste the root certificate (usually available from your CA website)
+and paste it in the [same field as your PEM certificate](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/02/07/setting-up-gitlab-pages-with-cloudflare-certificates/),
+just jumping a line between them.
+- Copy your public key and paste it in the last field
+
+>**Note:**
+**Do not** open certificates or encryption keys in
+regular text editors. Always use code editors (such as
+Sublime Text, Atom, Dreamweaver, Brackets, etc).

+
+## Setting up GitLab Pages
+
+For a complete step-by-step tutorial, please read the
+blog post [Hosting on GitLab.com with GitLab Pages](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/04/07/gitlab-pages-setup/). The following sections will explain
+what do you need and why do you need them.
+
+## What you need to get started
+
+1. A project
+1. A configuration file (`.gitlab-ci.yml`) to deploy your site
+1. A specific `job` called `pages` in the configuration file
+that will make GitLab aware that you are deploying a GitLab Pages website
+
+Optional Features:
+
+1. A custom domain or subdomain
+1. A DNS pointing your (sub)domain to your Pages site
+ 1. **Optional**: an SSL/TLS certificate so your custom
+ domain is accessible under HTTPS.
+
+The optional settings, custom domain, DNS records, and SSL/TLS certificates, are described in [Part 3](getting_started_part_three.md)).
+
+## Project
+
+Your GitLab Pages project is a regular project created the
+same way you do for the other ones. To get started with GitLab Pages, you have two ways:
+
+- Fork one of the templates from Page Examples, or
+- Create a new project from scratch
+
+Let's go over both options.
+
+### Fork a project to get started from
+
+To make things easy for you, we've created this
+[group](https://gitlab.com/pages) of default projects
+containing the most popular SSGs templates.
+
+Watch the [video tutorial](https://youtu.be/TWqh9MtT4Bg) we've
+created for the steps below.
+
+1. Choose your SSG template
+1. Fork a project from the [Pages group](https://gitlab.com/pages)
+1. Remove the fork relationship by navigating to your **Project**'s **Settings** > **Edit Project**
+
+ ![remove fork relashionship](img/remove_fork_relashionship.png)
+
+1. Enable Shared Runners for your fork: navigate to your **Project**'s **Settings** > **CI/CD Pipelines**
+1. Trigger a build (push a change to any file)
+1. As soon as the build passes, your website will have been deployed with GitLab Pages. Your website URL will be available under your **Project**'s **Settings** > **Pages**
+
+To turn a **project website** forked from the Pages group into a **user/group** website, you'll need to:
+
+- Rename it to `namespace.gitlab.io`: navigate to **Project**'s **Settings** > **Edit Project** > **Rename repository**
+- Adjust your SSG's [base URL](#urls-and-baseurls) to from `"project-name"` to `""`. This setting will be at a different place for each SSG, as each of them have their own structure and file tree. Most likelly, it will be in the SSG's config file.
+
+> **Notes:**
+>
+>1. Why do I need to remove the fork relationship?
+>
+> Unless you want to contribute to the original project,
+you won't need it connected to the upstream. A
+[fork](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/12/01/how-to-keep-your-fork-up-to-date-with-its-origin/#fork)
+is useful for submitting merge requests to the upstream.
+>
+> 2. Why do I need to enable Shared Runners?
+>
+> Shared Runners will run the script set by your GitLab CI
+configuration file. They're enabled by default to new projects,
+but not to forks.
+
+### Create a project from scratch
+
+1. From your **Project**'s **[Dashboard](https://gitlab.com/dashboard/projects)**,
+click **New project**, and name it considering the
+[practical examples](getting_started_part_one.md#practical-examples).
+1. Clone it to your local computer, add your website
+files to your project, add, commit and push to GitLab.
+1. From the your **Project**'s page, click **Set up CI**:
+
+ ![setup GitLab CI](img/setup_ci.png)
+
+1. Choose one of the templates from the dropbox menu.
+Pick up the template corresponding to the SSG you're using (or plain HTML).
+
+ ![gitlab-ci templates](img/choose_ci_template.png)
+
+Once you have both site files and `.gitlab-ci.yml` in your project's
+root, GitLab CI will build your site and deploy it with Pages.
+Once the first build passes, you see your site is live by
+navigating to your **Project**'s **Settings** > **Pages**,
+where you'll find its default URL.
+
+> **Notes:**
+>
+> - GitLab Pages [supports any SSG](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/06/17/ssg-overview-gitlab-pages-part-3-examples-ci/), but,
+if you don't find yours among the templates, you'll need
+to configure your own `.gitlab-ci.yml`. Do do that, please
+read through the article [Creating and Tweaking `.gitlab-ci.yml` for GitLab Pages](getting_started_part_four.md). New SSGs are very welcome among
+the [example projects](https://gitlab.com/pages). If you set
+up a new one, please
+[contribute](https://gitlab.com/pages/pages.gitlab.io/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
+to our examples.
+>
+> - The second step _"Clone it to your local computer"_, can be done
+differently, achieving the same results: instead of cloning the bare
+repository to you local computer and moving your site files into it,
+you can run `git init` in your local website directory, add the
+remote URL: `git remote add origin git@gitlab.com:namespace/project-name.git`,
+then add, commit, and push.
+
+### URLs and Baseurls
+
+Every Static Site Generator (SSG) default configuration expects
+to find your website under a (sub)domain (`example.com`), not
+in a subdirectory of that domain (`example.com/subdir`). Therefore,
+whenever you publish a project website (`namespace.gitlab.io/project-name`),
+you'll have to look for this configuration (base URL) on your SSG's
+documentation and set it up to reflect this pattern.
+
+For example, for a Jekyll site, the `baseurl` is defined in the Jekyll
+configuration file, `_config.yml`. If your website URL is
+`https://john.gitlab.io/blog/`, you need to add this line to `_config.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+baseurl: "/blog"
+```
+
+On the contrary, if you deploy your website after forking one of
+our [default examples](https://gitlab.com/pages), the baseurl will
+already be configured this way, as all examples there are project
+websites. If you decide to make yours a user or group website, you'll
+have to remove this configuration from your project. For the Jekyll
+example we've just mentioned, you'd have to change Jekyll's `_config.yml` to:
+
+```yaml
+baseurl: ""
+```
+
+### Custom Domains
+
+GitLab Pages supports custom domains and subdomains, served under HTTPS or HTTPS.
+Please check the [next part](getting_started_part_three.md) of this series for an overview.

-# GitLab Pages
-
-> **Notes:**
-> - This feature was [introduced][ee-80] in GitLab EE 8.3.
-> - Custom CNAMEs with TLS support were [introduced][ee-173] in GitLab EE 8.5.
-> - GitLab Pages [were ported][ce-14605] to Community Edition in GitLab 8.17.
-> - This document is about the user guide. To learn how to enable GitLab Pages
-> across your GitLab instance, visit the [administrator documentation](../../../administration/pages/index.md).
-
-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.
-
-Read [GitLab Pages on GitLab.com](#gitlab-pages-on-gitlab-com) for specific
-information, if you are using GitLab.com to host your website.
-
-Read through [All you Need to Know About GitLab Pages][pages-index-guide] for a list of all learning materials we have prepared for GitLab Pages (webpages, articles, guides, blog posts, video tutorials).
-
-## Getting started with GitLab Pages
-
-> **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. 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`|
-
-> **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
-
-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).
-
-### 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`.
-
-## 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.
-
-> **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
-
-In its simplest form, `.gitlab-ci.yml` looks like:
-
-```yaml
-pages:
- script:
- - my_commands
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - public
-```
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-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#only-and-except),
-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:
-
-```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.
-
-#### How `.gitlab-ci.yml` looks like when the static content is in your repository
-
-Supposedly your repository contained the following files:
-
-```
-├── index.html
-├── css
-│   └── main.css
-└── js
- └── main.js
-```
-
-Then the `.gitlab-ci.yml` example below simply moves all files from the root
-directory of the project to the `public/` directory. The `.public` workaround
-is so `cp` doesn't also copy `public/` to itself in an infinite loop:
-
-```yaml
-pages:
- script:
- - mkdir .public
- - cp -r * .public
- - mv .public public
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - public
- only:
- - master
-```
-
-#### 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.
-
-The example below, uses [Jekyll] to build the static site:
-
-```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.
-
----
-
-See the [jekyll example project][pages-jekyll] to better understand how this
-works.
-
-For a list of Pages projects, see the [example projects](#example-projects) to
-get you started.
-
-#### How to set up GitLab Pages in a repository where there's also actual code
-
-Remember that GitLab Pages are by default branch/tag agnostic and their
-deployment relies solely on what you specify in `.gitlab-ci.yml`. You can limit
-the `pages` job with the [`only` parameter](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#only-and-except),
-whenever a new commit is pushed to a branch that will be used specifically for
-your pages.
-
-That way, you can have your project's code in the `master` branch and use an
-orphan branch (let's name it `pages`) that will host your static generator site.
-
-You can create a new empty branch like this:
-
-```bash
-git checkout --orphan pages
-```
-
-The first commit made on this new branch will have no parents and it will be
-the root of a new history totally disconnected from all the other branches and
-commits. Push the source files of your static generator in the `pages` branch.
-
-Below is a copy of `.gitlab-ci.yml` where the most significant line is the last
-one, specifying to execute everything in the `pages` branch:
-
-```
-image: ruby:2.1
-
-pages:
- script:
- - gem install jekyll
- - jekyll build -d public/
- artifacts:
- paths:
- - public
- only:
- - pages
-```
-
-See an example that has different files in the [`master` branch][jekyll-master]
-and the source files for Jekyll are in a [`pages` branch][jekyll-pages] which
-also includes `.gitlab-ci.yml`.

-[jekyll-pages]: https://gitlab.com/pages/jekyll-branched/tree/pages
-
-## Next steps
-
-So you have successfully deployed your website, congratulations! Let's check
-what more you can do with GitLab Pages.
-
-### Example projects
-
-Below is a list of example projects for GitLab Pages with a plain HTML website
-or various static site generators. Contributions are very welcome.
-
-- [Plain HTML](https://gitlab.com/pages/plain-html)
-- [Jekyll](https://gitlab.com/pages/jekyll)
-- [Hugo](https://gitlab.com/pages/hugo)
-- [Middleman](https://gitlab.com/pages/middleman)
-- [Hexo](https://gitlab.com/pages/hexo)
-- [Brunch](https://gitlab.com/pages/brunch)
-- [Metalsmith](https://gitlab.com/pages/metalsmith)
-- [Harp](https://gitlab.com/pages/harp)
-
-Visit the GitLab Pages group for a full list of example projects:
-<https://gitlab.com/groups/pages>.
-
-### Add a custom domain to your Pages website
-
-If this setting is enabled by your GitLab administrator, you should be able to
-see the **New Domain** button when visiting your project's settings through the
-gear icon in the top right and then navigating to **Pages**.
-
-![New domain button](img/pages_new_domain_button.png)
-
----
-
-You can add multiple domains pointing to your website hosted under GitLab.
-Once the domain is added, you can see it listed under the **Domains** section.
-
-![Pages multiple domains](img/pages_multiple_domains.png)
-
----
-
-As a last step, you need to configure your DNS and add a CNAME pointing to your
-user/group page. Click on the **Details** button of a domain for further
-instructions.
-
-![Pages DNS details](img/pages_dns_details.png)
-
----
-
->**Note:**
-Currently there is support only for custom domains on per-project basis. That
-means that if you add a custom domain (`example.com`) for your user website
-(`username.example.io`), a project that is served under `username.example.io/foo`,
-will not be accessible under `example.com/foo`.
-
-### Secure your custom domain website with TLS
-
-When you add a new custom domain, you also have the chance to add a TLS
-certificate. If this setting is enabled by your GitLab administrator, you
-should be able to see the option to upload the public certificate and the
-private key when adding a new domain.
-
-![Pages upload cert](img/pages_upload_cert.png)
-
-### Custom error codes pages
-
-You can provide your own 403 and 404 error pages by creating the `403.html` and
-`404.html` files respectively in the root directory of the `public/` directory
-that will be included in the artifacts. Usually this is the root directory of
-your project, but that may differ depending on your static generator
-configuration.
-
-If the case of `404.html`, there are different scenarios. For example:
-
-- If you use project Pages (served under `/projectname/`) and try to access
- `/projectname/non/exsiting_file`, GitLab Pages will try to serve first
- `/projectname/404.html`, and then `/404.html`.
-- If you use user/group Pages (served under `/`) and try to access
- `/non/existing_file` GitLab Pages will try to serve `/404.html`.
-- If you use a custom domain and try to access `/non/existing_file`, GitLab
- Pages will try to serve only `/404.html`.
-
-### Remove the contents of your pages
-
-If you ever feel the need to purge your Pages content, you can do so by going
-to your project's settings through the gear icon in the top right, and then
-navigating to **Pages**. Hit the **Remove pages** button and your Pages website
-will be deleted. Simple as that.
-
-![Remove pages](img/pages_remove.png)
-
-## GitLab Pages on GitLab.com
-
-If you are using GitLab.com to host your website, then:
-
-- The general 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.
-
-The rest of the guide still applies.
-
-## Limitations
-
-When using Pages under the general domain of a GitLab instance (`*.example.io`),
-you _cannot_ use HTTPS with sub-subdomains. That means that if your
-username/groupname contains a dot, for example `foo.bar`, the domain
-`https://foo.bar.example.io` will _not_ work. This is a limitation of the
-[HTTP Over TLS protocol][rfc]. HTTP pages will continue to work provided you
-don't redirect HTTP to HTTPS.
-
-[rfc]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2818#section-3.1 "HTTP Over TLS RFC"
-
-## Redirects in GitLab Pages
-
-Since you cannot use any custom server configuration files, like `.htaccess` or
-any `.conf` file for that matter, if you want to redirect a web 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).
-
-## Frequently Asked Questions
-
-### Can I download my generated pages?
-
-Sure. All you need to do is download the artifacts archive from the job page.
-
-### Can I use GitLab Pages if my project is private?
-
-Yes. GitLab Pages don't care whether you set your project's visibility level
-to private, internal or public.
-
-### Do I need to create a user/group website before creating a project website?
-
-No, you don't. You can create your project first and it will be accessed under
-`http(s)://namespace.example.io/projectname`.

+# GitLab Pages
+
+> **Notes:**
+> - This feature was [introduced][ee-80] in GitLab EE 8.3.
+> - Custom CNAMEs with TLS support were [introduced][ee-173] in GitLab EE 8.5.
+> - GitLab Pages [were ported][ce-14605] to Community Edition in GitLab 8.17.
+> - This document is about the user guide. To learn how to enable GitLab Pages
+> across your GitLab instance, visit the [administrator documentation](../../../administration/pages/index.md).
+
+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.
+
+Read [GitLab Pages on GitLab.com](#gitlab-pages-on-gitlab-com) for specific
+information, if you are using GitLab.com to host your website.
+
+Read through [All you Need to Know About GitLab Pages][pages-index-guide] for a list of all learning materials we have prepared for GitLab Pages (webpages, articles, guides, blog posts, video tutorials).
+
+## Getting started with GitLab Pages
+
+> **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. 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`|
+
+> **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
+
+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).
+
+### 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`.
+
+## 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.
+
+> **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
+
+In its simplest form, `.gitlab-ci.yml` looks like:
+
+```yaml
+pages:
+ script:
+ - my_commands
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - public
+```
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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#only-and-except),
+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:
+
+```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.
+
+#### How `.gitlab-ci.yml` looks like when the static content is in your repository
+
+Supposedly your repository contained the following files:
+
+```
+├── index.html
+├── css
+│   └── main.css
+└── js
+ └── main.js
+```
+
+Then the `.gitlab-ci.yml` example below simply moves all files from the root
+directory of the project to the `public/` directory. The `.public` workaround
+is so `cp` doesn't also copy `public/` to itself in an infinite loop:
+
+```yaml
+pages:
+ script:
+ - mkdir .public
+ - cp -r * .public
+ - mv .public public
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - public
+ only:
+ - master
+```
+
+#### 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.
+
+The example below, uses [Jekyll] to build the static site:
+
+```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.
+
+---
+
+See the [jekyll example project][pages-jekyll] to better understand how this
+works.
+
+For a list of Pages projects, see the [example projects](#example-projects) to
+get you started.
+
+#### How to set up GitLab Pages in a repository where there's also actual code
+
+Remember that GitLab Pages are by default branch/tag agnostic and their
+deployment relies solely on what you specify in `.gitlab-ci.yml`. You can limit
+the `pages` job with the [`only` parameter](../../../ci/yaml/README.md#only-and-except),
+whenever a new commit is pushed to a branch that will be used specifically for
+your pages.
+
+That way, you can have your project's code in the `master` branch and use an
+orphan branch (let's name it `pages`) that will host your static generator site.
+
+You can create a new empty branch like this:
+
+```bash
+git checkout --orphan pages
+```
+
+The first commit made on this new branch will have no parents and it will be
+the root of a new history totally disconnected from all the other branches and
+commits. Push the source files of your static generator in the `pages` branch.
+
+Below is a copy of `.gitlab-ci.yml` where the most significant line is the last
+one, specifying to execute everything in the `pages` branch:
+
+```
+image: ruby:2.1
+
+pages:
+ script:
+ - gem install jekyll
+ - jekyll build -d public/
+ artifacts:
+ paths:
+ - public
+ only:
+ - pages
+```
+
+See an example that has different files in the [`master` branch][jekyll-master]
+and the source files for Jekyll are in a [`pages` branch][jekyll-pages] which
+also includes `.gitlab-ci.yml`.

+
+## Next steps
+
+So you have successfully deployed your website, congratulations! Let's check
+what more you can do with GitLab Pages.
+
+### Example projects
+
+Below is a list of example projects for GitLab Pages with a plain HTML website
+or various static site generators. Contributions are very welcome.
+
+- [Plain HTML](https://gitlab.com/pages/plain-html)
+- [Jekyll](https://gitlab.com/pages/jekyll)
+- [Hugo](https://gitlab.com/pages/hugo)
+- [Middleman](https://gitlab.com/pages/middleman)
+- [Hexo](https://gitlab.com/pages/hexo)
+- [Brunch](https://gitlab.com/pages/brunch)
+- [Metalsmith](https://gitlab.com/pages/metalsmith)
+- [Harp](https://gitlab.com/pages/harp)
+
+Visit the GitLab Pages group for a full list of example projects:
+<https://gitlab.com/groups/pages>.
+
+### Add a custom domain to your Pages website
+
+If this setting is enabled by your GitLab administrator, you should be able to
+see the **New Domain** button when visiting your project's settings through the
+gear icon in the top right and then navigating to **Pages**.
+
+![New domain button](img/pages_new_domain_button.png)
+
+---
+
+You can add multiple domains pointing to your website hosted under GitLab.
+Once the domain is added, you can see it listed under the **Domains** section.
+
+![Pages multiple domains](img/pages_multiple_domains.png)
+
+---
+
+As a last step, you need to configure your DNS and add a CNAME pointing to your
+user/group page. Click on the **Details** button of a domain for further
+instructions.
+
+![Pages DNS details](img/pages_dns_details.png)
+
+---
+
+>**Note:**
+Currently there is support only for custom domains on per-project basis. That
+means that if you add a custom domain (`example.com`) for your user website
+(`username.example.io`), a project that is served under `username.example.io/foo`,
+will not be accessible under `example.com/foo`.
+
+### Secure your custom domain website with TLS
+
+When you add a new custom domain, you also have the chance to add a TLS
+certificate. If this setting is enabled by your GitLab administrator, you
+should be able to see the option to upload the public certificate and the
+private key when adding a new domain.
+
+![Pages upload cert](img/pages_upload_cert.png)
+
+### Custom error codes pages
+
+You can provide your own 403 and 404 error pages by creating the `403.html` and
+`404.html` files respectively in the root directory of the `public/` directory
+that will be included in the artifacts. Usually this is the root directory of
+your project, but that may differ depending on your static generator
+configuration.
+
+If the case of `404.html`, there are different scenarios. For example:
+
+- If you use project Pages (served under `/projectname/`) and try to access
+ `/projectname/non/exsiting_file`, GitLab Pages will try to serve first
+ `/projectname/404.html`, and then `/404.html`.
+- If you use user/group Pages (served under `/`) and try to access
+ `/non/existing_file` GitLab Pages will try to serve `/404.html`.
+- If you use a custom domain and try to access `/non/existing_file`, GitLab
+ Pages will try to serve only `/404.html`.
+
+### Remove the contents of your pages
+
+If you ever feel the need to purge your Pages content, you can do so by going
+to your project's settings through the gear icon in the top right, and then
+navigating to **Pages**. Hit the **Remove pages** button and your Pages website
+will be deleted. Simple as that.
+
+![Remove pages](img/pages_remove.png)
+
+## GitLab Pages on GitLab.com
+
+If you are using GitLab.com to host your website, then:
+
+- The general 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.
+
+The rest of the guide still applies.
+
+## Limitations
+
+When using Pages under the general domain of a GitLab instance (`*.example.io`),
+you _cannot_ use HTTPS with sub-subdomains. That means that if your
+username/groupname contains a dot, for example `foo.bar`, the domain
+`https://foo.bar.example.io` will _not_ work. This is a limitation of the
+[HTTP Over TLS protocol][rfc]. HTTP pages will continue to work provided you
+don't redirect HTTP to HTTPS.
+
+[rfc]: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2818#section-3.1 "HTTP Over TLS RFC"
+
+## Redirects in GitLab Pages
+
+Since you cannot use any custom server configuration files, like `.htaccess` or
+any `.conf` file for that matter, if you want to redirect a web 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).
+
+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+### Can I download my generated pages?
+
+Sure. All you need to do is download the artifacts archive from the job page.
+
+### Can I use GitLab Pages if my project is private?
+
+Yes. GitLab Pages don't care whether you set your project's visibility level
+to private, internal or public.
+
+### Do I need to create a user/group website before creating a project website?
+
+No, you don't. You can create your project first and it will be accessed under
+`http(s)://namespace.example.io/projectname`.
