[RFC] Website + Blog Migration to Netlify #42

Closed ananyo2012 closed 3 years ago

ananyo2012 commented 4 years ago

We want to move to Netlify for the static websites + blog and move away from the present PyCon India Server. Advantages

Disadvantages

Requirements

astronomersiva commented 4 years ago

@ananyo2012, I hope you have factored in the cost of Netlify as well. The free plan only allows 300 build minutes per month.

ananyo2012 commented 4 years ago

@astronomersiva Added it to the list of Disadvantages. We can calculate the costs involved and decide. There maybe ways to build in CI and push the dist to Netlify. Need to explore on that.

We did not decide on moving it bdw, it's just an experiment.

Lesser things to manage from the server

We would still need to have rewrite rules on nginx.

Remove confusion with deployment from magudi for website/blog which had more frequent changes than junction

I don't remember any discussion regarding "confusion with deployment"

Access to PyCon India Domain provider account used to register pycon.afrost.org which is currently linked to in.pycon.org

Can you please elaborate a bit on the point?

Move to git sub-modules architecture for blog and website

This is unrelated and independent issue bdw.

Thought to start the discussion related to that

We would still need to have rewrite rules on nginx.

Are you intending to deploy on Netlify and have redirect rules on server to point to the blog ?

I added this point to account for the present dependence of deployment of website over magudi. There is no CD happening and everytime it needs to be manually deployed.

As per my understanding moving to a new deployment platform meant CNAMing it to the domain provider, but as per your 2nd comment you want to do it via redirect rules if I understood correctly ?

Website and blog are similar thing and I think if we are planning to use submodules then we can integrate both together.

I don't think we need to write any rules on nginx. It's a static site. Can directly connect to netlify host via CNAME. Same goes for blog I believe. For junction, we'd still need server though.

How do you CNAME https://in.pycon.org/blog to https://project-url.netlify.app?

ananyo2012 commented 4 years ago

@palnabarun You just need to build the project in a blog directory under the output folder. Then everything will be visible under /blog domain.

palnabarun commented 4 years ago

@ananyo2012 Well, you are thinking only about the blog here and not other components. Think it through once considering everything that we deploy under that subdomain.

ananyo2012 commented 4 years ago

Well we don't intend to move everything under the subdomains to Netlify. Just the static components.

palnabarun commented 4 years ago

Exactly! That's what I have been trying to say along.

How would you CNAME then?

ananyo2012 commented 4 years ago

So my idea was to deploy the static components in Netlify that would be Website and blog keep them under subfolder setup. Then CNAME the netlify domain to the PyCon India domain.

Keep the CFP website in the server under /cfp url which is CNAMEd to PyCon India domain as well.

Is this setup possible ?

I just searched regarding this and found we can't have multiple CNAMEs for a domain. Ref: https://serverfault.com/questions/574072/can-we-have-multiple-cnames-for-a-single-name

I would have Google'd it for you, otherwise. :)

ananyo2012 commented 4 years ago

My next question is redirect to a different domain have any drawbacks ?
