Gitea 'pages'

[auuuuuzzzzzpallauzzzzz]

Let people have a repository to upload a static website, like github pages.

---

tldr: use software that integrate like:

• CI + external host
• https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/pages-server

There have been already discussions about that in the past. This is a pretty huge feature and it requires additional domain/subdomain handling.

[auuuuuzzzzzpallauzzzzz]

Why not instead just

• let users have a repository called "project_name.pages.git"
• let the website admin define a single suburl like "pages.hostname.com"
• when Gitea detects the URL "pages.hostname.com/username/project" it automatically reads the HTML from "project_name.pages.git"

Maybe the URL is too long? Or are there security problems?

[tboerger]

It must be a different domain because of security, otherwise somebody can inject malicious code that steals the session cookie.

this should be done with CI and a http-proxy (like nginx, træfik, etc)

[tboerger]

Some static page feature should be nice, but first it requires a proper proposal so that somebody can estimate the requirements.

[bkcsoft]

Even static page required the use of a different domain (because JS...). ALL other git services implement this by using a CI & http-proxy...

[tboerger]

It must be a different domain because of security, otherwise somebody can inject malicious code that steals the session cookie.

But basic functionality to provide that can also be integrated into Gitea. Maybe at some point if we support plugins.

[bkcsoft]

Well yes, we could build it... but unless we add multi-host we're screwed 😛

[tboerger]

And to clarify all requirements and all the changes this needs i suggested a proposal ;)

In fact, we can start a new web service for the page on the same binary according to user's config.
