Aruba <-> GH Pages

Caution

Website construction in progress…

✅ Step 1: Deploy your website via GitHub Pages

Make sure your site is published via GitHub Pages.

• User site: https://yourusername.github.io/
• Project site: https://yourusername.github.io/project-name/

Set your custom domain in the repo settings or by adding a CNAME file to the root of your repository with the content:

yourdomain.com

---

✅ Step 2: Get your domain from Aruba

If you haven’t already, purchase or manage your domain on https://admin.aruba.it.

---

✅ Step 3: Update DNS Settings on Aruba

1. Log in to Aruba’s admin panel.
2. Go to:

Domini → [yourdomain.com] → Gestione DNS e Name Server → Modifica zona DNS

3. Add the following A records to point to GitHub Pages:

Type	Name	Value
A	@	185.199.108.153
A	@	185.199.109.153
A	@	185.199.110.153
A	@	185.199.111.153

4. Add a CNAME record so www.yourdomain.com redirects correctly:

Type	Name	Value
CNAME	www	yourusername.github.io.

⚠️ Don’t forget the trailing . after your GitHub username.

---

✅ Step 4: Configure your GitHub Repository

1. Go to your repository → Settings → Pages.
2. In the Custom domain field, enter:

yourdomain.com

3. GitHub will create a CNAME file automatically.
4. Enable “Enforce HTTPS” after DNS has propagated.

---

⏱️ Wait for DNS Propagation

• This can take a few hours (up to 48h).
• Use tools like https://dnschecker.org to check your domain.
• From your terminal:
  

ping yourdomain.com

---

🧪 Test

Once propagated:

• Visit https://yourdomain.com
• Also test https://www.yourdomain.com to ensure CNAME redirection works.

---

🔁 Optional: Redirect www to apex domain

You can set up a redirect in GitHub Pages or via a simple HTML file in a separate repo like www.yourdomain.com that forwards to yourdomain.com.

Let me know if you’d like a template for that too!
