I use Netlify which has the same qualities and requires less setup/attention. Am not affiliated with them.

Seconded - all you have to do is specify a build command and an output directory and Netlify will build your site on every commit to master. You can easily add a custom domain, manage DNS, and get Let’s Encrypt SSL with the click of a button.

Not affiliated either, but I’ve been blown away by how seamless their service has been.

You can use Full SSL on CloudFlare with GitHub Pages, which is end to end.

I totally agree. Netlify has everything I need.

As it happens, I've got a couple of merge requests open to add HTTPS-only support to GitLab Pages.

If anybody is interested:

Rails: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/16273

Go: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-pages/merge_requests/50

It is end to end but CloudFlare does not verify the identity of the origin server. The only equivalent option would be "Full SSL (Strict)", which is not free.

I was not aware of Netlify, thanks for letting me know. I've added it to the list of alternatives.

Indeed so, I had quite a bit of code written to handle deployment for 2 simple static websites, all got replaced by netlify in under 10 minutes, mind blown.

I've done similar setups. I highly recommend just using Cloudflare or Netlify instead. Unless you have an actual business reason, or love owning everything in the stack.

The headache of managing this yourself adds up, things break, things update, etc.
