GitLab Pages can use different sources to get domain configuration.
The default value is `nil`. However, GitLab Pages defaults to `auto`.
The default value for Omnibus installations is `nil`.

### Deprecated domain_config_source
WARNING:
The flag `gitlab_pages['domain_config_source']` is deprecated for use in [GitLab 13.9](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/217913),
and is planned for removal in GitLab 14.0.
GitLab 13.0 introduced the special flag `domain_config_source` to support manual opt-in to
[API-based configuration](#gitlab-api-based-configuration).
GitLab 13.7 introduced the [`auto` value](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/218358)
to support a smoother transition to API-based configuration.
Starting with GitLab 14.0, GitLab Pages only supports API-based configuration, and
[disk source configuration is removed](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-pages/-/issues/382).
Therefore, GitLab 14.0 also removes `domain_config_source`.
GitLab Pages fails to start if it can't connect to the GitLab API. For other common issues, see the
[troubleshooting section](#failed-to-connect-to-the-internal-gitlab-api)
or report an issue.
### GitLab API-based configuration
WARNING:

and is planned for removal in GitLab 14.0. In GitLab 14.0 and later, GitLab Pages attempts to
connect to the API automatically, without requiring the manual configuration steps shown here. Pages
fails to start if this automatic connection fails.
GitLab Pages can use an API-based configuration. This replaces disk source configuration, which
was used prior to GitLab 13.0. Follow these steps to enable it:
