Tildepages

Host static websites with tildegit pages!

It's quick, easy, free & fast - just put your open source project's homepage, developer blog or web experiment into a Git repository at tildegit, and we'll do the rest.

Set up your repository

Create a public repository named pages to make the site available at the main subdomain.

or

Create a branch pages in a repository:

git checkout --orphan pages
git rm --cached -r .

Upload your files

Push your static content, HTML, style, fonts, images or anything else.

You're done!

Access your new website using this URL format:

https://USERNAME.tildepages.org[/REPOSITORY][/@BRANCH]

Custom Domains

To use a custom domain, create a file .domains in your repository with the domain name to use.

Then, add a DNS record to that domains:

CNAME [[branch.]repo.]user.tildepages.org

Or for zone roots where CNAME doesn't work:

ALIAS tildepages.org

TXT [[branch.]repo.]user.tildepages.org

If ALIAS isn't supported, use A & AAAA instead:

A 157.90.196.54

AAAA 2a01:4f8:252:3e22::54

+ TXT as above

Upstream documentation

Codeberg Pages allows you to easily publish static websites with a human-friendly address ({user-name}.tildepages.org) via Git on Codeberg.org. Follow the simple steps below to get started, or check out the advanced usage below.

1. Create a public repository named ‘pages’ in your user account or organization.
2. Create static content, HTML, style, fonts or images. Name the homepage file index.html
3. Push your content to the main branch of the new repository.
4. You should now be able to access your content using the domain {user-name}.tildepages.org.

See also https://tildepages.org/ or the Troubleshooting page.

Advanced Usage: Canonical URLs

The Codeberg Pages server responds to four different URLs:

• https://raw.tildepages.org/username/reponame/: raw content, uses correct MIME types (HTML is forbidden though) and is accessible with CORS.
• https://username.tildepages.org: user page, points the default branch of a user’s or organization’s pages repository
• https://username.tildepages.org/reponame/: repo page, points to the pages branch of the repository
• https://example.org: custom domain, points to a repo of choice as outlined below

In all cases, you can append a branch using an @ (e.g. https://username.tildepages.org/@develop/README.md).

Custom Domains

Currently known pitfalls for failed certificates:
- you must either not have a CAA record, or explicitly allow LetsEncrypt there

For custom domains, two things are required: - a .domains file in the repository (in the branch in question), containing a list of domains that shall be usable to access that repository: - One domain per line, you can leave lines empty and comment out lines with #. - All domains (including *.tildepages.org) will be redirected to the first domain in that file. - a CNAME record pointing to one of the following targets:

• username.tildepages.org → https://username.tildepages.org
• reponame.username.tildepages.org → https://username.tildepages.org/reponame/
• branchname.reponame.username.tildepages.org → https://username.tildepages.org/reponame/@branchname/

If you can’t use a CNAME record to configure the target (e.g. for a zone root), you can use an A/AAAA/ALIAS record to tildepages.org with an additional TXT record for the target (just as shown above for CNAME records).
