new links for UMIL

[homework36]

We want umil.simssa.ca, umil.linkedmusic.ca, and https://whatinstrumentisthis.ca to point to current vim.simssa.ca.
Domains are managed on AWS. We need to figure out how to port new url with nginx (currently everything goes to prod edge)

Do you want them to redirect to vim.simssa.ca? Or all be acceptable host names for the same site?

Either way, as long as the DNS set-up in AWS is pointing to the prod edge server, the rest can be done in the operations repo with ansible and then with a few modifications to the current VIM django/nginx configuration.

The operations bit may require a bit of finagling because I think this will be the first time using the linkedmusic.ca domain.

What's the difference between them? I guess we just want all those urls to go to the same VIM server.

Great! This part I have some idea.

This I don't know. I will read some documentations and maybe I will need some help later.

In the first case, when someone requests umil.linkedmusic.ca we send them back a 30X with location: vim.simssa.ca (in other words, their browser will them open vim.simssa.ca and it will show "vim.simssa.ca" in the address bar.

In the latter, it'll show the same site no matter which of those you have in your address bar, but it'll keep the address bar the same.

I suspect that we'll want to refactor our process so that we can specify domains and subdomains for each service in the playbooks/vars files.

Actually, I would like the reverse. I would like to slowly phase out the use of VIM and replace it with UMIL. So vim.simssa.ca should show up as umil.linkedmusic.ca. Whatinstrumentisthis.ca can also show up as UMIL.linkedmusic.ca
