Description

We probably have several unused website, so we should report them.

We could start by checking for broken websites, like HTTP return code, but that's probably not sufficient to detect broken sites.

As for non-broken but obsolete ones, we could check if the DNS defines our server as authoritative. It may be impacted by #566.

Let's think about other ideas.

I created the adm_check_web script in the admin repo.

Here is the current output:

There are still a few false positives:
  • ddns.duckcorp.org is a DNS subzone and cannot be a CNAME
  • irc.milkypond.org should not be a web host, it is a redirection to irconweb.milkypond.org but I think it is useless, also it is not defined on all IRC hosts…
  • lists.duckcorp.org is used for mails and cannot be a CNAME
  • users.duckcorp.org is not on the usual IPs for historical reasons I guess, and probably could be moved

If the DEBUG environment variable is set, then the script dumps a structure which could later be used for aggregation.

I removed irc.milkypond.org.

Also I added detection of the cases where using a CNAME is not possible.

Here is the current output:

I asked Damien about his website to fix things and remove potential obsolete assets.

I cleaned HurdFr, Andesi and UFWI stuff, and other things.

The exceptions are not worth coding something complicated.
