Dear Heron-users/devs
Some may have noticed many recent commits on the Heron-MC repo [1].
Reason is that we migrated the Heron website [2] and library CDN
services [3] to a new dedicated server VM using latest devops-tech like
Ansible, Docker and Traefik.
There was quite some legacy to be wrapped (autobuild on GH-commit, CGI
scripts, MapFish Print v2 [4]) and SSL/non-SSL config, but it all
succeeded. There are actually quite some Heron deployments active that
use the library services [3]. Many are non-SSL so SSL (https) is not
enforced there, only for the website. Let us know here if you find hickups.
Plans are for a Heron follow-up. I'll keep you posted on that.
