## Configuration
Depending on your needs, you can install GitLab Pages in four different ways.
Depending on your needs, you can set up GitLab Pages in 4 different ways.
The following options are listed from the easiest setup to the most
advanced one. The absolute minimum requirement is to set up the wildcard DNS
since that is needed in all configurations.
### Option 1. Custom domains with HTTPS support
### Wildcard domains
| URL scheme | Wildcard certificate | Custom domain with HTTP support | Custom domain with HTTPS support | Secondary IP |
| --- |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| `https://page.example.io` and `https://page.com` | yes | redirects to HTTPS | yes | yes |
>**Requirements:**
- [Wildcard DNS setup](#dns-configuration)
>
>---
>
URL scheme: `http://page.example.io`
Pages enabled, daemon is enabled AND pages has external IP support enabled.
In that case, the pages daemon is running, NGINX still proxies requests to
the daemon but the daemon is also able to receive requests from the outside
world. Custom domains and TLS are supported.
This is the minimum setup that you can use Pages with. It is the base for all
other setups as described below. Nginx will proxy all requests to the daemon.
The Pages daemon doesn't listen to the outside world.
1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
1. Set the external URL for GitLab Pages in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
```ruby
pages_external_url "https://example.io"
nginx['listen_addresses'] = ['1.1.1.1']
pages_nginx['enable'] = false
gitlab_pages['cert'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/example.io.crt"
gitlab_pages['cert_key'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/example.io.key"
gitlab_pages['external_http'] = '1.1.1.2:80'
gitlab_pages['external_https'] = '1.1.1.2:443'
pages_external_url 'http://example.io'
```
where `1.1.1.1` is the primary IP address that GitLab is listening to and
`1.1.1.2` the secondary IP where the GitLab Pages daemon listens to.
1. [Reconfigure GitLab][reconfigure]
### Option 2. Custom domains without HTTPS support
### Wildcard domains with TLS support
| URL scheme | Wildcard certificate | Custom domain with HTTP support | Custom domain with HTTPS support | Secondary IP |
| --- |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| `http://page.example.io` and `http://page.com` | no | yes | no | yes |
>**Requirements:**

URL scheme: `https://page.example.io`
Pages enabled, daemon is enabled AND pages has external IP support enabled.
In that case, the pages daemon is running, NGINX still proxies requests to
the daemon but the daemon is also able to receive requests from the outside
world. Custom domains and TLS are supported.
Nginx will proxy all requests to the daemon. Pages daemon doesn't listen to the
outside world.
1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
1. Place the certificate and key inside `/etc/gitlab/ssl`
1. In `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` specify the following configuration:
```ruby
pages_external_url "http://example.io"
nginx['listen_addresses'] = ['1.1.1.1']
pages_nginx['enable'] = false
gitlab_pages['external_http'] = '1.1.1.2:80'
pages_external_url 'https://example.io'
pages_nginx['redirect_http_to_https'] = true
pages_nginx['ssl_certificate'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/pages-nginx.crt"
pages_nginx['ssl_certificate_key'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/pages-nginx.key"
```
where `1.1.1.1` is the primary IP address that GitLab is listening to and
`1.1.1.2` the secondary IP where the GitLab Pages daemon listens to.
where `pages-nginx.crt` and `pages-nginx.key` are the SSL cert and key,
respectively.
1. [Reconfigure GitLab][reconfigure]
### Option 3. Wildcard HTTPS domain without custom domains
## Advanced configuration
| URL scheme | Wildcard certificate | Custom domain with HTTP support | Custom domain with HTTPS support | Secondary IP |
| --- |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| `https://page.example.io` | yes | no | no | no |
In addition to the wildcard domains, you can also have the option to configure
GitLab Pages to work with custom domains. Again, there are two options here:
support custom domains with and without TLS certificates. The easiest setup is
that without TLS certificates.
Pages enabled, daemon is enabled and NGINX will proxy all requests to the
daemon. Pages daemon doesn't listen to the outside world.
### Custom domains
1. Place the certificate and key inside `/etc/gitlab/ssl`
1. In `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb` specify the following configuration:
>**Requirements:**
- [Wildcard DNS setup](#dns-configuration)
- Secondary IP
>
---
>
URL scheme: `http://page.example.io` and `http://domain.com`
```ruby
pages_external_url 'https://example.io'
In that case, the pages daemon is running, Nginx still proxies requests to
the daemon but the daemon is also able to receive requests from the outside
world. Custom domains are supported, but no TLS.
pages_nginx['redirect_http_to_https'] = true
pages_nginx['ssl_certificate'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/pages-nginx.crt"
pages_nginx['ssl_certificate_key'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/pages-nginx.key"
1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
```ruby
pages_external_url "http://example.io"
nginx['listen_addresses'] = ['1.1.1.1']
pages_nginx['enable'] = false
gitlab_pages['external_http'] = '1.1.1.2:80'
```
where `pages-nginx.crt` and `pages-nginx.key` are the SSL cert and key,
respectively.
where `1.1.1.1` is the primary IP address that GitLab is listening to and
`1.1.1.2` the secondary IP where the GitLab Pages daemon listens to.
1. [Reconfigure GitLab][reconfigure]
### Option 4. Wildcard HTTP domain without custom domains
### Custom domains with TLS support
| URL scheme | Wildcard certificate | Custom domain with HTTP support | Custom domain with HTTPS support | Secondary IP |
| --- |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| `http://page.example.io` | no | no | no | no |
>**Requirements:**
- [Wildcard DNS setup](#dns-configuration)
- Wildcard TLS certificate
- Secondary IP
>

>
URL scheme: `https://page.example.io` and `https://domain.com`
Pages enabled, daemon is enabled and NGINX will proxy all requests to the
daemon. Pages daemon doesn't listen to the outside world.
In that case, the pages daemon is running, Nginx still proxies requests to
the daemon but the daemon is also able to receive requests from the outside
world. Custom domains and TLS are supported.
1. Set the external URL for GitLab Pages in `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
1. Edit `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
```ruby
pages_external_url 'http://example.io'
pages_external_url "https://example.io"
nginx['listen_addresses'] = ['1.1.1.1']
pages_nginx['enable'] = false
gitlab_pages['cert'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/example.io.crt"
gitlab_pages['cert_key'] = "/etc/gitlab/ssl/example.io.key"
gitlab_pages['external_http'] = '1.1.1.2:80'
gitlab_pages['external_https'] = '1.1.1.2:443'
```
where `1.1.1.1` is the primary IP address that GitLab is listening to and
`1.1.1.2` the secondary IP where the GitLab Pages daemon listens to.
