Hi everybody,
I think it's time to finally move our wiki from the old infrastructure over to gitlab pages.
This comes with several benefits: * full control through git over the ikiwiki pipeline (setup files, plugins, system packages, ...) * random users are able to create MRs against the wiki as long as they are willing to create a gitlab account. * possible to migrate over to a different wiki generator or mix and match or whatever. * no CGI stuff on the wiki as we don't use ikiwiki for the git operations anymore
To view the migrate wiki visit this URL: https://nouveau.pages.freedesktop.org/wiki/ the gitlab project lives here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/nouveau/wiki
There are a couple of changes I already made: * convert the perl ikiwiki setup file to yaml: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/nouveau/wiki/-/blob/master/nouveau.yml * reworked the setup file to throw out unused plugins and adjust settings for gitlab * enabled HTML5 (does change the style slightly, but also fixed some regressions) * pulled in external sources (from the fdo.org server) * moved mdwn files into their own subdirectory
For now I changed everything inside one big commit: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/nouveau/wiki/-/commit/6f2d1669884af186863718a...
There are a couple of remaining issues/questions: * the gitlab CI pipeline fails quite a bit, which could be annoying * there is a delay between editing and changes going live (usually below a minute though) * should we disallow direct editing of files for project members so we could CI the changes are still valid?
Next steps: * verify everything still works * fix remaining issues * final step: point the subdomain to the new gitlab pages URL
If anybody else is interested in moving their wikis over, don't hesitate to ask me questions or just copy whatever I did :)
