Static web server for docs.geoserver.org

[jive]

Similar docs.geotools.org, need a place to store static content.

This is hosted by planet federal currently, and we need to move it.

@jive how does the site currently get updated?

Since geoserver and geotools work closely together. Does it make sense to spin up a dedicate machine for the two groups to share to host the statics sites and manage the content how they see fit.

Github pages is also an option if they'd prefer that.

The website is updated by build.geoesrver.org as part of this job: ​https://build.geoserver.org/view/geoserver/job/geoserver-master-live-docs/ Currently it is uploaded to s3, if we change to static file hosting rsync could be used as is done for the geotools docs.

I have no opinion on hosting of static websites, I assume more than one project would be interested.

GitHub pages is not an option as we are over the 10 GB limit for that service.

Reference recent ​recent meeting on doc hosting and size:

Q: Long term home for docs?

static webserver, ask osgeo?

• moderate amount of space (due to prior builds) 2-10 GBs
• Can cut back on archived releases if needed < 1GB
• ask via trac?
• Mapserver docs hosted by OSGeo ​https://download.osgeo.org/mapserver/docs/
• Action: Jody to request via trac ​https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/2461

pushing to next milestone since my contract funds have been used.

@jive checking where we left off on this one.

This looks to be all set. I see ​https://docs.geoserver.org points at osgeo3 and lives in geo-docs container.

I've updated the wiki to reflect
