@natasha41575 Would you happen to know who maintains the kustomize.io site or if it's abandoned?

[natasha41575]

I'm really not sure about kustomize.io; https://kubectl.docs.kubernetes.io/references/ is where the core documentation is.

@Shell32-Natsu @monopole Where is kustomize.io maintained and is it still in use?

At the bottom of the kustomize.io site is says:

Website contributed by Replicated

I looked through the repos under their GitHub org, but I don't see one for kustomize.io.

I did a quick correlation of contributors to this repository and people in the Replicated org and I managed to find @laverya -- maybe they can find out internally how the kustomize.io site is managed and help to get the tutorial page either fixed or removed.

I'll take a look

I have the contact email of someone at replicated and I will be reaching out to them shortly

Any update on this? It seems the tutorial still does not work.

The reason as to why it stopped working seems to be a problem with this specific endpoint: api.kustomize.io/kustomize/patch, strangely the /apply endpoint, which is called upon trying to modify a manifest, successfully answers the requests.

kustomize.io is not a domain that belongs to us. We are still working with the people who own it to get it transferred.

kustomize.io and general docs progress will be tracked in #4338
