We still need to complete the website migration to Apache infrastructure. I'll propose the following plan:
Proposed Apache Druid website migration plan ======================================== These links have some previous discussion on the website migration: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/7cae100b684e0b33e0adda993efea3d6088978700988a0ae632fdd80@%3Cdev.druid.apache.org%3E https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-17340 >From the discussions above, the recommendation is to have 2 separate repos for the website: one for source and another for built content that will be served. Generating site files ======================= The Apache site update process will be similar to our current process. Current process: 1. Push changes to https://github.com/druid-io/druid-io.github.io/tree/src 2. metamx bot picks up changes, builds, and commits to https://github.com/druid-io/druid-io.github.io/tree/master 3. https://github.com/druid-io/druid-io.github.io/tree/master is served by github pages Apache process: 1. Push changes to https://github.com/apache/incubator-druid-website-src 2. Jenkins bot from Apache will build the website from source repo, commit to https://github.com/apache/incubator-druid-website 3. Apache Druid website will be served from the content in https://github.com/apache/incubator-druid-website (asf-site branch) Hosting and SEO ================ The Apache site will be hosted at druid.apache.org on Apache infrastructure: http://www.apache.org/dev/project-site.html To preserve our search rankings, we can setup 301 redirects from the old druid.io site to the corresponding pages on the druid.apache.org site. ( https://moz.com/learn/seo/redirection) However, Github pages (which currently hosts the druid.io site) does not support 301 redirects, so we propose the following: - Setup a new Nginx server that will perform 301 redirects to druid.apache.org for the druid.io. Imply can host this if needed. - Update the druid.io DNS entry to point to this new Nginx server - Shut down Github pages hosting for druid.io In addition, we can also set canonical tags on our pages: https://moz.com/learn/seo/canonicalization Action items =============== - Setup a Jenkins bot that builds the Apache website content from source - Get the Apache website up - Setup Nginx redirect server for druid.io - Shutdown github pages and redirect DNS for druid.io to Nginx redirect server - Add canonical tags to pages
