## Overview
-[Read the Omnibus overview section.](index.md#overview)
+GitLab Pages makes use of the [GitLab Pages daemon], a simple HTTP server
+written in Go that can listen on an external IP address and provide support for
+custom domains and custom certificates. It supports dynamic certificates through
+SNI and exposes pages using HTTP2 by default.
+You are encouraged to read its [README][pages-readme] to fully understand how
+it works.
+
+---
+
+In the case of [custom domains](#custom-domains) (but not
+[wildcard domains](#wildcard-domains)), the Pages daemon needs to listen on
+ports `80` and/or `443`. For that reason, there is some flexibility in the way
+which you can set it up:
+
+1. Run the Pages daemon in the same server as GitLab, listening on a secondary IP.
+1. Run the Pages daemon in a separate server. In that case, the
+ [Pages path](#change-storage-path) must also be present in the server that
+ the Pages daemon is installed, so you will have to share it via network.
+1. Run the Pages daemon in the same server as GitLab, listening on the same IP
+ but on different ports. In that case, you will have to proxy the traffic with
+ a loadbalancer. If you choose that route note that you should use TCP load
+ balancing for HTTPS. If you use TLS-termination (HTTPS-load balancing) the
+ pages will not be able to be served with user provided certificates. For
+ HTTP it's OK to use HTTP or TCP load balancing.
+
+In this document, we will proceed assuming the first option. If you are not
+supporting custom domains a secondary IP is not needed.
