我无法将 Gitlab Pages 连接到我的 Namecheap 域

Question

I've had multiple problems connecting Gitlab pages to my domain registered at Namecheap. I've tried multiple DNS configurations and none of them seem to work. I got "Failed to verify domain ownership" at the verification step, and even when I got past that (somehow), I got "something went wrong while obtaining the TLS certificate". I've followed the instructions given to me by GitLab (below), what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Answering my own question here, because I got in touch with Namecheap support. The example DNS entries provided by GitLab don't work on Namecheap (as of May 2022). The required DNS entries are

(Alias record) Host : www , Target : <gitlab_user_or_organisation_name>.gitlab.io.

(TXT Record) Host : _gitlab-pages-verification-code.www , Target : gitlab-pages-verification-code=<your_code> .

Note the differences to the Gitlab instructions. The Alias host is www , not www.<yourapp>.<tld> , and the verification host is _gitlab-pages-verification-code.www , not _gitlab-pages-verification-code.<yourdomain>.<tld> .

No CNAME record is required, in fact it conflicts with the ALIAS record anyway.
