Documentation url changed to docs.cloudron.io

[nebulon]

Hi all,

we have moved our documentation from cloudron.io/documentation to docs.cloudron.io There are redirects in-place from old to new origin.

This is part of our move away from the AWS static file hosting, which we still had for historical reasons. Now we are serving up all docs from a surfer instance of course installed on a Cloudron itself instead.

Let us know if you hit any issues with the move.

Thanks @nebulon . BTW, he also moved all our app screenshots from AWS to screenshots.cloudron.io (which is a separate surfer instance).

Goodbye AWS! More predictable URL too, that's what I'd previously guessed.

I also setup the CI/CD now for the docs repo - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/docs/ . If you find typos/grammar to correct and/or new section to add, please just submit a merge request there. And it will get deployed immediately when merged. You can also just use the Web IDE or the Editor to edit (no need for fork or use the CLI).

For those wondering, how we deploy the docs, the ci file is here - https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/docs/-/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml and the image it uses is just https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/docs/-/blob/master/Dockerfile . The gitlab runner is just a standalone server on Digital Ocean.

The CI looks really neat ! Glad to see you guys using it more and more, it's a great tool !

(By the way, didn't you guys do the reverse URL move like a year ago or something ? ^^)

I think last time around we tried to split the developer docs (into /developer) and the user docs. That went poorly since people were constantly struggling to find the developer docs. Lesson learnt and we ended up merging them again.
