Migrating tylergaw.com to Netlify

1. Deploy repo via Netlify dashboard

2. Set up with a spare domain to test redirects and subdomains before switching the primary domain

  • Create namecheap alias record
  • Wait
  • Be unsure if I set up the DNS correctly
  • Wait longer
  • I guess it works now?
  • Create a CNAME record for www to lucid-swartz-72ad0e.netlify.com. to redirect www to bare domain
  • SSL takes some time. Wait more

3. Subdomains for previous versions

v1.tylergaw.com, v2.tylergaw.com, et. al

  • Asked about doing tag deploys https://twitter.com/tylergaw/status/1205973982568161282 Seems like it's not a thing yet
  • ^ took a different direction instead of writing manual deploy code
  • Create a new Netlify site for each subdomain. Since they are all from the same repo, I just download the zip file from the git tag
  • Create cname for each subdomain that points to the site's url
  • v3 uses ssi. Was using nginx ssi, and years before that apache ssi. Netlify doesn't have support for that, so had to update the site code
