Is it possible to publish a jupyter book on gitlab pages?

[AndreGismo]

Hello community,

I was wondering, if it is possible to publish a jupyter book on gitlab pages.

I have allready published a jupyter book here in github pages, following the instructions here, and all worked well - ghp-import takes care of everything.

Now I have also tried to publish a jupyter book via gitlab pages - but I'm confused, because this is a completely different approach, using a .gitlab-ci.yml file and a static site generator like jekyll (as described in here). I think I don't even need this jekyll, because jupyter book has already built the html.

And I have noticed that I get a warning when I run jb build and my _config.yml contains the following:

repository:
    url: https://gitlab.com/<user>/<repo>
    branch: main

The warning says:

WARNING: Currently Binder/JupyterHub repositories must be on GitHub

So I am wondering, if it is even possible (at least at the moment) to publish jupyter books on gitlab pages.

Has anyone experience with this?
Thanks for any for any help in advance!

yes! check out here for a working example: jupyter-book/jupyter-book#1416

for launch buttons that one will require future development I believe, but certainly is welcome
