I was testing some Gitlab functionalities on my last jobs, but I've never played it by myself so, I decided to migrate my personal wiki/toolbox into Gitlab pages and see how it goes.
Why Gitlab? Because I am feeling more comfortable with it. Github is a very nice SCM but I wanted to start working with Gitlab and I though that this could be a very nice opportunity to do so.
So, I migrated my repository from Github to Gitlab, just pushing all the files to an empty Gitlab repository project. That's all.
Also I created a ".gitlab-ci.yaml" file with a few steps to control the deployment:
image: python:3.8-buster
before_script:
- pip install -r requirements.txt
test:
stage: test
script:
- mkdocs build --strict --verbose --site-dir test
artifacts:
paths:
- test
except:
- master
pages:
stage: deploy
script:
- mkdocs build --strict --verbose --site-dir public
artifacts:
paths:
- public
only:
- master
Leaving this file in the repository root path, now the project looks like this:
CMD> tree -a -L 1
.
├── docs
├── .git
├── .gitignore
├── .gitlab-ci.yml
├── mkdocs.yml
├── README.md
└── requirements.txt
2 directories, 5 files
When I just committed my changes into the repository, everything starts to run and the CI finally just deployed my project into Gitlab Pages. Here is the result: Cosckoya Gitlab pages.
Amazing.
I really want to test some more Gitlab CI/CD (Terraform, Docker, Helm) and integrations (Hangouts, Slack) with this new toy of mine.
Enjoy!
