Request for vanity URL to be used as the module prefix of go repos in the `cncf-tags` GitHub organization

[tariq1890]

Currently, we have custom module prefixes to represent go modules of repos in the kubernetes and kubernetes-sigs organization

i) k8s.io in kubernetes -

• k8s.io/kubernetes

ii) sigs.k8s.io for kubernetes-sigs

• sigs.k8s.io/kueue

I'd like to discuss if a similar convention for the cncf-tags GH org makes sense. In this case:

The vanity URL would be tags.cncf.io and the module of the container-device-interface would be renamed to tags.cncf.io/container-device-interface

+1, this would help to have an easy way to go get and redirect to the repo.

As a matter of interest, what would be required to move this along? I would like to hold off on renaming the CDI modules until this is done.

Worked with @RobertKielty to come up with our punchdown list to move this forward. :)

• Create subdomain redirect repo under cncf
• Update repo definition in CLOWarden (use cncf-automation team + populate)
• Populate with Dockerfile + nginx config (and all the usual suspect files)
• Spin up Cloud Run + Cloud Build instance pointing at repo (to auto-build/deploy) on merge
• Capture IP address of Cloud Run instance
• Point tags.cncf.io at Cloud Run IP

I'm working on Dockerfile/nginx config atm

Initial deployment of subdomain-redirector has been deployed to Cloud Run.

@jeefy will do the needful on the last two steps on above checklist for domain/IP config.

Then we will do some acceptance testing and report back.

@jeefy and I met with LF IT for domain management support on this yesterday. Thank you Rudy from LF IT! ❤️

Once those changes were made and we merged a last config change we have the following redirects in place:

https://tags.cncf.io/ will redirect to https://github.com/cncf-tags/

Once they are published calls like go install tags.cncf.io/wg-artifacts will compile and install packages from
https://github.com/cncf-tags/wg-artifacts

Implementation Notes
The http server doing the redirects is defined here

https://github.com/cncf/subdomain-redirector

any new subdomain redirects can be added by submitting PRs to the the nginx confg file.

https://github.com/cncf/subdomain-redirector/blob/main/etc/nginx/default.conf

Deployment will be managed and supported by the CNCF Projects Team.
