Migrate static sites into a specialized internal upstream node #169

Open renoirb opened 9 years ago

renoirb commented 9 years ago

At this time, we copy to frontend node the static websites files, but that should change.

Idea is to follow conventions created in webplatform/ops#115 where we have an internal web server listening only to private network and that frontend type servers proxies requests to.

So far we only had the homepage as a static site and it’s hosted on the same VM as MediaWiki.

Maybe its time we aggregate static sites into one "upstream" role like we would do with a dynamic site backend but to serve only static files.

Sites that could benefit:

Note Even though specs.webplatform.org are also static html pages, we’ll let a specialized upstream ("upstream-specs") handle them since we have publican who takes care of refreshing the pages. We should therefore not touch specs.webplatform.org/publican in this work item.
