Making sphinx documentation private

Question

So this is a reoccurring issue and I\'m not qualified to fix it but I need it fixed so I\'m going to have to learn. See this question for an outdated / not feasible solution

Answer 1

GitLab now supports access control for pages:

https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/administration/pages/#access-control

Pages access control is currently disabled by default. To enable it, you must:

1. Enable it in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb

   gitlab_pages['access_control'] = true

2. Reconfigure GitLab

Answer 2

So I've made a rudimentary fix that works for now:

This gitlab repo shows a working example here.

It uses static password protection and is also discussed in this issue.

Answer 3

Now GitLab Pages works with the same permissions as in the project. If the project is private, the Pages will also be private.

I've tried this tutorial: https://gitlab.com/pages/sphinx/tree/master
