Thank you.

The issue thread/request for this had been open for something like 2 years and I waited patiently for someone braver than me to implement it.

Now my custom domain on GitLab Pages automatically redirects to HTTPS. I'm happy.

Next up is to add an option to automatically renew Let's Encrypt certs for GitLab Pages.

Automatic renewal has also been added in 10.7:

https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/settings/ssl.html#automatic-...

Quick note, the existing Let's Encrypt integration does not support Pages. We are working on it, but it's worth noting Pages has multiple modes it can run in.

One is by setting up wildcard domains at the server level, like we have on GitLab.com with gitlab.io. We have an issue open for this, but the primary challenge is that Let's Encrypt requires DNS-01 validation for wildcard certificates, with a new challenge each renewal. That is difficult to automate through our Omnibus package. The issue tracking this work is here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/issues/3342

The other method allows users bring their own "custom domains": https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/pages/#custom-doma...

This is easier to manage, as we can do HTTP or SNI validation for each domain without hitting LE's rate limits. We are working on this now here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/28996

Letsencrypt integration with pages is coming! https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/28996#note_69...

this. I've had a fantastic experience as well. Its one of those communities and projects that has been so good I have to leave a comment about it :)

Thank you GitLab team and contributors!

Thanks for contributing Rob, and we're very glad to hear it was a good experience.

I'd like to second this. My experience getting a (minor, admittedly) contribution merged was painless, prompt, efficient, and dignified. If I ever run into something funny with GitLab again, it'll comfort me to know that a patch can be running on the live global site in less than a day.

We switched over to Gitlab from Stash about 9 months ago and it's been fantastic. There are so many amazing features, and the CI/CD integration has been smooth. I highly recommend it.

What features you have in gitlab that you couldn't find on bitbucket / stash ?

Please add the mirror functionality to CE.
