Make Plausible instance available under plausible.ocaml.org

[tmattio]

A Plausible instance is deployed at https://plausible.ci.dev/ocaml.org. The domain name is temporary, and it would be great to make the dashboard accessible from plausible.ocaml.org.

@mtelvers would you be able to add the details of the servers here that would be useful to create the DNS entry?

[mtelvers]

@avsm Plausible has been deployed as a proof of concept running on a KVM VM hosted in Caelum. Would it be possible to provision a new VM at Scaleway and assign a DNS entry of plausible.ocaml.org to that machine? The current VM is 2 x CPU, 4GB of RAM, 32GB disk. It can be either x86_64 or ARM64.

While you are on the Scaleway console, please can delete:

• opam-repo-ci (51.159.140.219), which moved in December status.ocaml.ci.dev, ocaml.ci.dev and opam.ci.ocaml.org are (were) down #85, and
• staging.docs.ci.ocaml.org (51.158.163.148) which died in September staging.docs.ci.ocaml.org is unreachable #67.

Thanks Mark! We've generally named the OCaml.org <http://ocaml.org/> services after descriptive words rather than services ("watch", "discuss"). Might you suggest a similar verb for plausible, so we are slightly abstracted away from the specific service being used?

[mtelvers]

Yes, we might move away from Plausible in the future. How about analytics.ocaml.org?

[avsm]

need verbs! observe.ocaml.org <http://observe.ocaml.org/> view.ocaml.org <http://view.ocaml.org/> report.ocaml.org <http://report.ocaml.org/> i prefer "view" as something short and memorable personally

[mtelvers]

"view" is ok. How about examine.ocaml.org or review.ocaml.org?

Other verbs: analyse, inspect, assay, count

[avsm]

we could save "view" for a CI dashboard, and use "count" for plausible since it's all about metrics. Is it possible to make the front page redirect to the ocaml.org suburl? The registration page isn't useful for the public user.

[mtelvers]

Yes, it's sitting behind Caddy, so I have added a redirect:

plausible.ci.dev {
        redir / /ocaml.org 
        reverse_proxy plausible:8000
}
