Make https://eessi.github.io/ (webserver root) work

[robberteggermont]

https://eessi.github.io/ (without docs/) now returns a 404 error page. We probably should put something (anything) there, or redirect to https://eessi.github.io/docs/ or https://www.eessi-hpc.org/?

We could fix this by renaming this docs repository to eessi.github.io (which is how you set up a website on the landing page).

If this breaks https://eessi.github.io/docs (I'm hoping it will result in an automatic redirect, but I'm not sure), then we can fix that by adding a new docs repository that basically just forwards to https://eessi.github.io?

I'm not sure if that's the best way forward...

[boegel]

Or we set up a trivial landing page at https://eessi.github.org by making a new repo named eessi.github.io that just funnels to https://eessi.github.io/docs (or provides contact info like we already have there).

I see it's also possible to create custom 404 pages, that could be another way to do it (and at the same time provide a fallback for typo's, renamed, etc.)?

[boegel]

Yeah, I like that idea...

Maybe a 404 page with a modified logo with a broken flask? :D

[robberteggermont]

I see we already have a somewhat working 404 for the docs/ subfolder
To get one for the root, we'll probably need to make a eessi.github.io repo?

[boegel]

Yes, that's probably the best option. I'll create it and give the docs team access to it.
