I successfully deployed a Hugo blog project to GitLab Pages yesterday, but even after 12+ hours it isn’t available, i.e. its designated URL 404s.
Could anyone help me troubleshoot why it won’t come up? AFAICT, I’ve done everything correctly.
I was able to get it published now - I can’t tell for sure, but I’m pretty certain it’s because I changed the project’s visibility to public instead of private. I also had to make another deploy after making it public, before it came up. I noticed the same behaviour with another project, so I guess this more or less confirms that there’s a bug with GitHub Pages and private projects?

@aknudsen Welcome to the forum!
The visibility level of the project shouldn’t matter as the deployment will be public regardless. On your first deployment there is usually a delay of ~30 minutes or so that we’re working on reducing, but I’ve never personally seen it take longer than that.

But I saw that it took more than a day, and it only got published after I changed visibility to public and redeployed. I also experienced a previous project to only get published after I changed its visibility to public. Is this purely coincidence?
Have you tested publishing a private project to verify that it works?
Hi @aknudsen,
A deploy time more than 30-60 minutes is abnormal. I’ve never seen it take longer than a couple hours. Has this happened before?
I’m not sure why it would take this long, but I can confirm that Private projects are visible in Pages form.
This Private Jekyll project was forked and deployed to pages in ~5 minutes: https://greg.gitlab.io/jekyll/
A fork of your personal-blog project, also set to private was built and deployed on GitLab Pages in ~20 minutes:
I deleted this fork after testing, but here’s a screenshot:
I can confirm that setting a project to “Private” will not limit the accessibility of the GitLab Pages deployment.

hi @gitlab-greg, it has happened to me once before, and then I experienced the same thing, i.e. that I had to make the project public and re-deploy it before it was published. Is there any way to see why GitLab hasn’t published a project yet?
i need a help 9Apps VidMate.vin
Been trying to setup a simple HTML site and tried both writing my own HTML and forking a different project. But I’m still getting a 404 message when I check my Gitlab pages. I’ve seen posts about delays, anyone else having or has had this experience that might want to provide a little guidance?
You can create a site with demo files in it with nikola init --demo mysite
The rest of these commands have to be executed inside the new mysite folder.
Create a post:
nikola new_post
Edit the post:
The filename should be in the output of the previous command. You can also use nikola new_post -e to open an editor automatically.
Build the site:
nikola build
Start the test server and open a browser:
nikola serve -b
That should get you going. If you want to know more, this manual will always be here for you.
