Hosting location for the Onion Services Ecosystem Documentation

Motivation

As mentioned in the previous issue about getting domains for some Onion Services projects, we're looking for

• Shorter URLs for some Onion Services related projects, pointing to their GitLab Pages.
• Aggregate Onion Services documentation in a single, searchable place.

That made us create the Onion Services Ecosystem Documentation, but it still has a not very friendly URL.

Tasks

• Organization:
  • Ping some people to get feedback (ahf, gaba, micah?).
  • Determine a better canonical URL location for the Onion Services Ecosystem Documentation:
    • Project/repository name: tpo/onion-services/ecosystem.
    • Canonical URL: https://onionservices.torproject.org (previously: https://community.torproject.org/onion-services/ecosystem).
  • Rename the project from portal to ecosystem.
• Implementation:
  • Proceed with the CI/deployment changes to make the Onion Services Ecosystem Documentation accessible through the new URL:
    • Update CI config to use the static shim deploying to the static component. No need, since we'll use the existing deployment from tpo/web/community.
    • Update CI config to use a setup similiar to the Community Policies (!6 (merged)).
    • Update web/community CI config to include the Ecosystem Docs (tpo/web/community!349 (merged)).
  • Ask TPA to help with setting up this deployment. There was no need initially, since we used the existing deployment from tpo/web/community. But then we decided to go with a separate site, whose setup is tracked at tpo/tpa/team#41687 (closed).
  • Update references in Onion Services projects, pointing to the new official/canonical documentation location (like on README.md files etc).
  • Create .htaccess-like redirects from the old location to the new location (if applicable).
  • Once the portal is deployed, update the "Onionize any website" link in the Community Portal, pointing to the official Onionspray documentation URL within the Onion Services Ecosystem Portal (tpo/web/community#337 (closed)). Moved to #11 (closed).
  • Link the Onion Services Ecosystem Documentation in the Onion Services section of the Community Portal. Moved to #11 (closed).
  • Add banner in the community portal, at the Onion Services page. Moved to #11 (closed).
  • Figure out an update workflow. This was sorted out once we decided to go with a separate domain.
• Bonus:
  • Consider to release the portal as part of the Onion Services 20th Years Anniversary (2024 edition). Moved to #11 (closed).
  • Onion Services endpoint and Onion-Location set (if not already available). Moved to #11 (closed).
• Advertise:
  • Ask comms whether they're interested in reviewing this before a broader announcement. Moved to #11 (closed).
  • Maybe do a blog post and a wider announcement? Moved to #11 (closed).

Time estimation

• Complexity: small (1 day)
• Uncertainty: low (x1.1)
