Re: [ML] Re: Hosting of gnustep.org

[Patryk Laurent]

Hi Greg,

Could we make a plan to implement pointing the domain to the Gitub-hosted site and/or delegate someone to do it?

Aside from the navigation menu improvements already committed on the GitHub version of the site, we could also incorporate or link to sites to increase visibility e.g., https://teespring.com/stores/gnustep

Best regards,

Patryk

- make a CNAME www.gnustep.org => gnustep.github.io (but server hosting

  gnustep.github.io should accept requests for www.gnustep.org)

This merely requires creating a file named 'CNAME' in the github repo
for gnustep.github.io (i.e.
https://github.com/gnustep/gnustep.github.io).

See https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site

I can't make a CNAME gnustep.org => gnustep.github.io (due to the way DNS

works) but I can make a 301 redirect http://gnustep.org

=> http://www.gnustep.org

Looks like Github documents the exact IPs that can be used:
 https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site#configuring-an-apex-domain

Then again, 301 + CNAME for www are probably more maintainable.
