Ah, sorry, David….got a little excited about closing issues in the FOLIO DevOps sprint. I agree…the AWS workflow has been fragile for quite some time. Let’s talk options.

Argh, i had forgotten about this old open ticket. I see that you already pressed the button.

For a long time now the AWS-based build has not been operating well. They have stopped allowing us to build new branches. Hence a contributor cannot view a feature branch build. That was one of the benefits of the AWS-based build.

Until recently the "gh-pages" build was operating to build and publish to folio-org.github.io site.

We had tried many times to disable that, to no avail, e.g. see the pull/381 that lead to this ticket.

Then in early October 2024 the "gh-pages" build started failing. Its technology was very outdated. I did research and found that the way forward is to use a GitHub Actions Workflow instead. That was implemented via FOLIO-4085 at workflows/jekyll.yml

The Workflow-based build has been operating well and is very fast (much faster than the AWS-based build). It is also easier to maintain, especially regarding the Ruby version to be used.

I have been intending to talk with you Peter, about discontinuing the AWS-based build and configuring the "GitHub Pages" build to use the "dev.folio.org" domain. I will raise a separate ticket for that.

Today i did a merge to mainline. That ran the automated Jekyll Workflow and restored the GitHub Pages settings.

Wait please.

Current state of the GitHub Pages settings for folio-org.github.io:

Going to click that “Unpublish site” menu choice.

Our website sources are an "Organization Pages" site at folio-org/folio-org.github.io

The documentation for creating a Pages site, explains that the naming scheme "<orgname>.github.io" is what makes it happen.

The documention for unpublishing a Pages site, says to remove its "master" branch to disable the Pages build. That is drastic, and still leaves that confusing repository name.

I wonder if instead we can just rename the repository (e.g. dev-website).
