This repo contains a very simple landing page for Crossplane Slack workspace invitations. When visitors browse to https://slack.crossplane.io, they come to this page, which simply contains a static HTML page that redirects them to an official Slack invitation link.
Ideally, we could point slack.crossplane.io directly to the invitation, but
DNS does not allow you to do that because the invite link has a full URL path
that contains payload data. Therefore, we have this very simple HTML page to
perform the redirect for us.
This repository will need some ongoing maintenance to continue functioning. We will be exploring a better long term solution, but for now this repo will serve our needs for self-service joining of our Slack workspace.
Notes on maintaining this repo can be found below:
- The invitation link that
index.htmlredirects to is set to never expire time wise, but it will expire after 400 people have used it to join the Slack workspace.- Therefore, it will need to be regenerated over time. @jbw976 will take care of this on a periodic basis, using the Slack invitation link documentation.
- When generating a new link, "Never expires" should be selected in the edit link settings.
- Open a PR that updates
index.htmlwith the new link, then ensure the updated link is deployed successfully to the live site.
