sysadm docs: Move relevant and public doc from intranet to swh-docs
Closed, MigratedEdits Locked

Description

After discussion the following structure emerged as proposal for the sysadm pages. After
the sprint, the arborescence evolved a bit but the gist of it remains. We want to
migrate the existing intranet pages to the sphinx instance.

A new page [1] to add the documentation site. This could be publicly linked from the
main page [2] (or not). This will be publicly exposed as other repositories already
exposed the same kind of information anyway (source code repositories, puppet, ...).

[2] https://docs.softwareheritage.org/

Pros/cons

pros

  • code review ahead of time available (one could always skip it if they don't want to)
  • tool unification (sphinx rst, git, ...)

cons

No cons that I can see (well the migration per say but that can be done incrementally :)

Remaining pages to redispatch eventually

The sysadm team is ok on this [1]

And like i mention in the crash ticket [2], moving to this scheme brings another pros to the
party, making the docs access more resilient.

12:34 <+olasd> in any case, I think I've voiced my concerns already. I don't like the idea of moving away from the wiki(s) to something with a much higher barrier to contribution (sphinx + restructured text + code review + git), but the unification and restructuring of docs probably outweighs this concern
12:35 <+olasd> and in that sense I'me fine with the proposal
12:36 <+olasd> (and the thing I'd want us to move towards doesn't exist yet, so...)

(quoting here because as usual, the arguments were nicely put and worth mentioning)

@olasd , @ardumont and @vsellier : I think that we can gently resolve this task.

Thank you for a very fruitful sprint[1]!

ardumont changed the task status from Open to Work in Progress.Oct 14 2021, 3:00 PM
ardumont moved this task from Backlog to in-progress on the System administration board.

We have followed the plan on the hedgedoc (in the last comment).
Just realized we haven't decided if the support-tools should be in sys-admin dimension, so I'm adding this to this task to decide.

section: Support services

Makes sense to me to add them in sysadm.
Also, jsyk, currently, the support-services stub files are already present in the sysadm instance, remains to to fill in the blank at some point.

2 more pages migrated (published and redirect installed in the intranet):

(which i used to outboard hakb \o/, i believe that's the first time I actually outboard someone, i usually do the onboarding ;)

All existing sysadm pages have been migration from the wiki and from the intranet to the docs.softwareheritage.org/sysadm pages.
The redirection have also been configured to those pages.

So this can be closed now.
