Sort out DNS / Github Pages for Handbook with Github Upgrade #117

Closed rufuspollock closed 9 years ago

rufuspollock commented 9 years ago

The custom domain for your GitHub Pages site okfn/opendatahandbook needs attention. You must take immediate corrective action to ensure that your site remains available after December 1st, 2014.

Please follow the instructions for setting up a custom domain with GitHub Pages to update your custom domain’s DNS settings to point to the proper GitHub IP addresses.

Why the change?

Nearly a year ago, we announced improvements to how we serve GitHub Pages sites. This week we’re making that change permanent by deprecating our old GitHub Pages infrastructure. If your custom domain is pointed at these legacy IPs, you’ll need to update your DNS configuration immediately to keep things running smoothly.

How long do I have to make the switch?

Starting the week of November 10th, pushing to a misconfigured site will result in a build error and you will receive an email stating that your site’s DNS is misconfigured. Your site will remain available to the public, but changes to your site will not be published until the DNS misconfiguration is resolved.

For the week of November 17th, there will be a week-long brownout for improperly configured GitHub Pages sites. If your site is pointed to a legacy IP address, you will receive a warning message that week, in place of your site’s content. Normal operation will resume at the conclusion of the brownout.

Starting December 1st, custom domains pointed to the deprecated IP addresses will no longer be served via GitHub Pages. No repository or Git data will be affected by the change.

Okay, I’m sold. What do I need to do?

Please follow the instructions for setting up a custom domain with GitHub Pages to update your custom domain’s DNS settings to point to the proper GitHub IP addresses.
