openSUSE admin

opensuse.com and *.opensuse.com all point to our haproxy, we "just" don't have a certificate for it.

AFAIK the haproxy config defaults to delivering download.o.o if it doesn't have config for a domain, so (besides getting a certificate) we should probably add some redirects for opensuse.com in the haproxy config.

I also wonder if we really want/need the *.opensuse.com wildcard DNS entry, but that's another topic.

If "opensuse.com" resolves, and it should resolve, a holding page with alternative links might be the right thing. If "opensuse.com" is not used, maybe we should just remove it from DNS ?

Feel free to do what you find correct to do. ;-)

I think this was coincidentally resolved along with repairing TLS for redirecting domains in #75250. Because of this, there is no reason to remove the opensuse.com DNS records anymore either. Can this ticket be closed?

It doesn't produce an error now, which is good.

If I try to open https://bugzilla.opensuse.com it open instead https://www.opensuse.org/; no error, but maybe confusing to a newcomer. Perhaps it would be nicer to display an information page with links to correct places :-?

Yeah, that would probably be the nice thing to do - I would just have deleted the DNS records long ago. We simply do not have any on-line presence under "opensuse.com", and as far as I am aware, we don't want one. I think the current situation is acceptable though, but if someone can be bothered to set up a nice information page, I guess we could redirect to static.o.o ?

If someone wants to set up a landing page to replace our current redirects of invalid domains to https://www.opensuse.org/ with, feel free to make it a task.

That is what this ticket was meant to do - be a placeholder task :-) I guess it can be reopened if anyone is interested. I'll try to remember to add it to my list of newbie jobs.
