Bovine Pages Server Wiki

Welcome to the Bovine Pages Server documentation! This project brings GitHub Pages-style static site hosting to the open source Git platforms Forgejo and Gitea.

What is Bovine Pages Server?

Bovine Pages Server is a Traefik middleware plugin that transforms your self-hosted Forgejo or Gitea instance into a powerful static site hosting platform. Similar to how GitHub Pages, GitLab Pages, and Codeberg Pages work, it automatically serves static websites directly from your Git repositories.

Key Capabilities

Designed as a native Traefik plugin, Bovine Pages Server integrates effortlessly into your existing Traefik reverse proxy setup without requiring separate web servers or complex configurations. It serves static files from the public/ folder of any repository, making deployment as simple as git push while keeping your static sites alongside your source code in version control. The plugin brings the convenience and workflow of GitHub Pages to the open source ecosystem, enabling you to host documentation, project websites, personal blogs, and web applications all from your self-hosted Git platform. Built with production-ready features including caching, automatic HTTPS, custom domains, and password protection, it provides everything needed for real-world deployments.
