We are going to use the GitLab CI runner to automatically publish the site (this CI runner is already included in your repository if you use GitLab.com).
|
||
|
||
## Repository setup
|
||
|
||
Your repository needs to be set up to be a user or group website. This means the name of the repository has to be in the correct format.
|
||
|
||
For example, assuming that the username is `john`, you have to create 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`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
This guide assumes that your zola project is located in the root of your repository.
|
||
|
||
## Ensuring that the CI runner can access your theme
|
||
|
||
Depending on how you added your theme, your repository may not contain it. The best way to ensure that the theme will
|
||
be added is to use submodules. When doing this, ensure that you are using the `https` version of the URL.
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
$ git submodule add {THEME_URL} themes/{THEME_NAME}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For example, this could look like:
|
||
```shell
|
||
$ git submodule add https://github.com/getzola/hyde.git themes/hyde
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Setting up the GitLab CI/CD Runner
|
||
|
||
The second step is to tell the GitLab continous integration runner how to create the GitLab page.
|
||
|
||
To do this, create a file called `.gitlab-ci.yml` in the root directory of your repository.
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
variables:
|
||
# This variable will ensure that the CI runner pulls in your theme from the submodule
|
||
GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: recursive
|
||
# Specify the zola version you want to use here
|
||
ZOLA_VERSION: "v0.9.0"
|
||
|
||
pages:
|
||
script:
|
||
# Download the zola executable and store it in zola.tar.gz
|
||
- curl -L https://github.com/getzola/zola/releases/download/$ZOLA_VERSION/zola-$ZOLA_VERSION-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz > zola.tar.gz
|
||
# Unpack the zola executable
|
||
- tar -xzf zola.tar.gz
|
||
# Execute zola build
|
||
- ./zola build
|
||
|
||
artifacts:
|
||
paths:
|
||
# Path of our artifacts
|
||
- public
|
||
|
||
# This config will only publish changes that are pushed on the master branch
|
||
only:
|
||
- master
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Push this new file and ... Tada! You're done! If you navigate to `settings > pages`, you should be able to see
|
||
something like this:
|
||
|
||
> Congratulations! Your pages are served under:
|
||
https://john.gitlab.io
|
||
|
