Auto deploy mkdocs with versionning using mike on gitlab pages - gitlab-ci

Question

I'm willing to deploy a new version of the doc each time I commit a tag on gitlab.
I'm using mike for the mkdocs versionning.
I want the versionning to be handle directly on the remote repository not locally.
Locally, I perfom my changes but each time I send a new tag, I would like the get a new added version of the doc on my gitlab page

Answer 1

Finally, I found a solution here.
Here is my adaptation:
pages:
stage: deploy
variables:
PIP_CACHE_DIR: "$CI_PROJECT_DIR/.cache/pip"
PAGES_BRANCH: gl-pages
HTTPS_REMOTE: https://gitlab-ci-token:${ACCESS_TOKEN}#${CI_SERVER_HOST}/${CI_PROJECT_PATH}.git
before_script:
- pip install mkdocs mike
- git config user.name $GITLAB_USER_NAME
- git config user.email $GITLAB_USER_EMAIL
- git fetch origin $PAGES_BRANCH && git checkout -b $PAGES_BRANCH origin/$PAGES_BRANCH || echo "Pages branch not deployed yet."
- git checkout $CI_COMMIT_SHA
script:
- mike deploy --rebase --prefix public -r $HTTPS_REMOTE -p -b $PAGES_BRANCH -u $CI_COMMIT_TAG latest
- mike set-default --rebase --prefix public -r $HTTPS_REMOTE -p -b $PAGES_BRANCH latest
- git checkout $PAGES_BRANCH -- public/
artifacts:
paths:
- public/
only:
- tags
