We currently have a local instance of Gitlab running on a Debian Machine at work and want to locally deploy the project via the .gitlab-ci.yml.

Since I am fairly new to gitlab and continuous integration in general I am rather lost here.

The project itself only consists out of some .php files, within the root directory which also create a MySQL database, and after someone pushed something, the Website should be deployed locally under xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Website to view it.

Is this even possible with the gitlab-ci? Any help would be greatly appriciated.

To keep it simple; You should install a Gitlab-CI runner on your target machine, register it with your Gitlab instance and configure it as a Shell executor.

Then, if you use .gitlab-ci.yml commands to move your files to the directory that matches xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Website and run some config there or before you move the files you can view the result.

Thank you for the answer. We currently have a shared runner available, another problem is, the local instance of GitLab also runs under the local xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx address.
You should really avoid that I guess. Or run another webserver / vhost under a different port. Though that's quite nasty. A simple VM or something for deploying would be way better.
The gitlab instance is already in a VM which also holds the runner. I was currently looking into kubernetes, if there is a possibility to do it that way.
