Move Website to new Domain

[ilexp]

Summary

Duality is hosted at a subdomain of my personal website, but given the projects growth and current state, I think it makes more sense to move it to its own domain. It will be hosted, paid for and maintained by me, but no longer be connected to me personally, but the project instead.

Analysis

• Pages to move:
  • Info page: duality.adamslair.net --> www.duality2d.net, hosted by GitHub pages
  • Docs: dualitydocs.adamslair.net --> docs.duality2d.net, hosted by GitHub pages
  • Chat: chat.adamslair.net --> chat.duality2d.net, redirect to Discord invite
  • Forum: forum.adamslair.net --> forum.duality2d.net, hosted on webspace
  • Download: dualitybin.adamslair.net --> get.duality2d.net, hosted on webspace or via GitHub release
  • Tutorial: dualitytutorial.adamslair.net --> tutorial.duality2d.net, redirect to docs page
• Links to update:
  • Info page
  • Docs pages
  • GitHub repo for Duality
  • GitHub repo for Docs
  • GitHub Wiki in Duality repo
  • Chat welcome message
  • Blog links
• Move strategy:
  • Set up the new domain and subdomains, and for complex hosting moves like the forum, do a temporary 301 redirect to the old domain in first iteration.
  • Update all public links to instead point to the new domains.
  • Gradually move complex hosting content to the new domain until no temp redirect is left.
  • Change all old subdomains to permanently 302 redirect to the new ones.
  • Announce domain change publicly.

Progress

• Set up subdomains on duality2d.net:
  • Info page: www.duality2d.net, hosted by GitHub pages
  • Docs: docs.duality2d.net, hosted by GitHub pages
  • Chat: chat.duality2d.net, redirect to Discord invite
  • Forum: forum.duality2d.net, redirects to forum.adamslair.net until the forum is moved properly
  • Download: get.duality2d.net, redirect to GitHub release
  • Tutorial: tutorial.duality2d.net, redirect to docs page
  • Donations: donate.duality2d.net, redirect to itch.io page of Duality
  • Showcase: showcase.duality2d.net, redirect to itch.io collection of Duality games
• Set up redirects from old adamslair.net domains to new duality2d.net subdomains. All of the old URLs will now redirect accordingly.
• Set up GitHub pages for info page and docs to know about the custom domain and enforce HTTPS with the new (automatically) GitHub-issued certificate.
• Updated links in Duality and Docs repo headers, as well as the Duality wiki redirect pages.

ToDo

• Update all links in:
  • Info page
  • Docs pages
  • Chat welcome message

Moved the forum to a new issue, since it's mostly a separate, bigger task. Closing this, as the main part of the domain change has been accomplished.
