Hello from your friendly Puppet Tech Pubs team! We write and maintain the docs for open source Puppet, Puppet Enterprise, and other Puppet products. This email is to update you about a change we’re making that will help us focus on maintaining current Puppet docs, while ensuring you still have access to docs for very old Puppet releases that you’re using for one reason or another.


About a year and a half ago, we moved the docs for active versions of Puppet, Puppet Enterprise, Puppet Server, and other products from docs.puppet.com to puppet.com/docs, and left the docs for inactive Puppet versions on docs.puppet.com.


The time has come for the docs.puppet.com server to retire. The docs on it — which are for Puppet product versions that we no longer support or update — aren’t entirely going away, though. You can still access them at docs-archive, a Github repo that is public and searchable.


Of course, our continuously updated and maintained documentation for active Puppet products remains at puppet.com/docs.


The old docs.puppet.com server will go offline on Monday, 25 February 2019. If you use those old docs, please update your bookmarks to the docs-archive site. Also, if you’re relying on redirects from docs.puppet.com to the active docs on puppet.com/docs, you should update those bookmarks too. We regret any disruption that this change causes, and if you’re having trouble finding something you need, please email do...@puppet.com and we will help you find it.


Thanks,
Puppet Technical Publications team

Except that when I DID email to  do...@puppet.com it bounced...
