Bitnami Community is down

[luethralf]

Describe your suggestion as much as you can

Hello,
all links to community.bitnami.com redirect to https://github.com/bitnami/vms since last week.

This means there is no support documentation for most administrative functions as the official documentation is lacking.

Dear developers, if you think high traffic to this issue tracker is an indicator of how how good of an idea it was to replace community.bitnami.com, think again. It is most probably due to users being redirected here by Google, hoping to find the old content. I appreciate the detailed written documentation that you still host, as well as this new platform to manage issues, but keeping the old forum online (as read-only) would have been the right move, as community.bitnami.com contained issue discussions and readily available solutions that are sure to be missed by old and new users.

This decision was announced on June 11th, 2022 and reminded by several tweets.

• Documentation Site: https://docs.bitnami.com
• Archived Bitnami Community: http://web.archive.org/web/*/community.bitnami.com

this ruthless redirection of everything to github without a proper redirection filter is enormously annoying. i cannot think of a better reason to migrate all of our production servers from this bitnami thing to just anywhere else.

@recena , just because this so-called "arrangement" has been announced doesn't justify how appropriate it is. if your government has announced you have to goto jail and reminded serveral weeks in advance, you'll still take it comfortably with no questions asked ?

you simply have no idea how frustating it is when working with this bitnami thing, the documentation has not been a well-written type already, and now they are just trashed to nowhere and left all of us who once have trusted this stack.

the only thing i can be certain is that i'm not going to ask any of our colleagues to touch any bitnami-related thing from now on, and i will make it a forbidden move in our company, and all future companies i will work in.
