Find an alternative for Netlify

[peer35]

1. https://coolify.io/ on SciCloud??

Replicates Netlify, but how easy is it to maintain?

2. Coolify, or other solution on OpenShift at central IT.

Easier to maintain.

3. On github pages itself https://github.com/orgs/quarto-dev/discussions/3027#discussioncomment-11079879 using https://github.com/marketplace/actions/deploy-pr-preview

Publishes the PR on rdm.vu.nl itself in a subfolder, which is not ideal if search engines and AI bots find it. But it is the least effort to maintain.

In my opinion the preferred way is to host the previews (and the site itself) on OpenShift. That way we only have to do configuration management, no server or application management, same as now. The code can remain on Github, although gitlab could be an alternative.

I think my preferred way of dealing with this is:

• Leave as is for now.
• If the situation gets unworkable, because the blocks start earlier in the month we could switch to 3.
• In the mean time investigate how to deploy on OpenShift. I'll talk to the colleagues there to ask what the status of the platform is.
