As an update to the docs migration, there’s now a test docbuild that pushes docs to the OSgeo server here: https://build.geoserver.org/view/geoserver/job/geoserver-main-live-docs-testing/
Regina has set up a staging doc site with the result of that build here: https://staging.docs.geoserver.org/
It’s just main right now, but seems to be working alright.

Additionally, while we are moving things around, Regina would like to move the geotools docs from its current home on osgeo6 to this new server as well. There is a draft pull request with the (preliminary) required changes to facilitate this here: https://github.com/geotools/geotools/pull/3995

Cheers,
Torben

That sounds excellent, torben thank you so much for working on this! What is needed to complete the switch? Adjusting DNS entry (and shutting off the old job…).

I do not think there is any trouble moving geotools docs around.

A few more things:

  1. A bit more testing to make sure everything important is actually there and we’re not missing something, and fix anything we are missing (e.g. we don’t yet have any of the specific release artifacts linked from the homepage. I might still have a script from 2 build servers ago that downloads and extracts those automatically, need to see if I can find it)
  • If anyone has some time to poke around the staging server to see if anything else is missing that’d be helpful.
  1. Sort out redirects for maintenance/stable/latest in a way that makes updating them easy
  • This is going to be a notable change for the GeoServer jobs, since with S3 we had to do a mirror, but now that we’re back on an actual filesystems we can do symlinks or similar. The real challenge will be making this easy to update when we switch after a new release series. I’d like to try and dig up how we were doing this before we moved to S3
  1. Switching over all the actual docbuilds (geotools and geoserver) to the new server - right now it’s just this test one
  • When switching geotools, the linked PR will need to be merged1. Then we can switch over DNS
