I can't connect Gitlab Pages to my Namecheap domain
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?
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.
