Hey I’m trying to setup pages for a self-hosted GitLab instance. I found the documentation for pages administration a bit confusing when it comes to custom domains. Would the following example count as a custom domain?
example:
gitlab: git.domain.com
gitlab-pages: pages.domain.com (would used the *.pages.domain.com for dns wildcard)
*.pages.domain.com as a two-level sub domain will not work for TLS wildcard certificates, in case you are using Let’s Encrypt.
It is recommended to use a different domain for the pages domain, e.g. domain.com where the GitLab server gets its DNS entry, and domain.io where the Pages entries are configured.
GitLab Pages administration | GitLab provides more details on the configuration requirements.
Ok It looks like my original domains from the documentation would work. But this doesn’t answer if this would fall under a custom domain. Would it be better if the urls be like this?
gitlab: git.domain.com
gitlab pages: domain.io
Based off the previous comment would a secondary IP need to be used?
