#257 Request infra for a URL for the neurofedora blog
Closed: Fixed 4 years ago by ankursinha. Opened 4 years ago by ankursinha.

It is possible that we move away from Github to another platform for the blog in the future. If we continue using the current github provided URL, this will cause links to break.

So, it's probably best to use a fedora url like: neuroblog.fedoraproject.org that then redirects to where our blog is set up? Thoughts?


Hi! What is exactly the problem with the GitHub hosted blog? And what’s the address now?

There isn't currently a problem, but Github is not a service we own or maintain so it could go away in the future or change its terms etc.

It is currently: https://neurofedora.github.io/ (it shows up on the planet)

Github permits us to use our own URLs. (My blog, for example is: ankursinha.in but is hosted on github)

We can either leave it (the blog) hosted on GitHub and setup a neuroblog.fedoraproject.org custom subdomain, that way the links will always be the same in case the blog gets hosted somewhere else.
Or we can host the blog on fedoraproject.org servers if you guys have a space there, (I don't know if you do).

Yes, that's what this ticket is about :)

No, we don't, so we'll have to use whatever services we can find when needed.

Let's wait for others to chime in, and then we can file the required tickets with infra.

Edit: as an afterthought, should we timebox this to 1 week (27th, July)? If no alternatives or issues come up till then, we'll proceed.

ping @mhough @lbazan @blackfile @zbyszek @gicmo : thoughts?

If no negative remarks by the end of today, I'll go file an infra ticket.
