Unable to get gitlab pages to work with an external server and local store
Summary
Unable to get pages to deploy locally or on an external server. At this point I would be fine if the files built locally, but I cannot even get that to work. I upgraded recently from 14.2 to 14.5 and then this failed.
With 14.2, I believe I had gitlab_pages['enable'] = false and pages turned off for nginx.
I have an NFS mount setup between the pages server and the gitlab main server. I can do sudo -u git touch /mnt/pages/foo and I am able to create files on the NFS mount from the gitlab main server.
My preference is that this works with an external server.
I am unsure how to troubleshoot because the pages:deploy job has no logging and no troubleshooting as far as I can tell. And, if the gitlab pages daemon is off, then there is really no logging. I tried reviewing sidekiq logs for information on how the files were being pushed and if there was a failure but had no luck
Steps to reproduce
My config below shows all the different settings I've tried.
What is the current bug behavior?
I run a pipeline. I see the pages complete, then pages:deploy complete. But, there are no new files in /mnt/pages, nor /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/pages/
What is the expected correct behavior?
When I complete a pipeline, I should see the files deployed to the pages directory.
Relevant logs and/or screenshots
I've tried for hours to get any combination of these settings to work. I've reviewed the issue noted in the template.
