Moving documentation to docs.rapids.ai

[charlesbluca]

After some internal discussion, we have decided to move the documentation of Dask-CUDA from Read the Docs to RAPIDS Docs. This would make it relatively easy to set up a docs CI workflow script like this, and is motivated by the fact that there are a lot of barriers keeping this repo from migrating to Dask org.

What's a clean way to do this without causing confusion? Should we keep both sites up simultaneously for a period of time with some banner notifying the migration? Or have the RTD docs redirect straight to the RAPIDS docs?

Opened #580 to make a gpuCI docs build script.

Redirecting seems like a simpler way to deal with it.

I agree, just wasn't sure if RTD had the ability to easily manage a redirect but looks like it can.

Dask-CUDA's docs just got published to RAPIDS docs:

• https://docs.rapids.ai/api/dask-cuda/nightly/

Now we would just want to figure out redirecting the RTD version of the docs.

In conda-forge we did this like so

Great - thanks for that example! Do you know if we would need to keep that rtd/ directory in our repo if we disable webhooks on RTD's end after the last build?

[jakirkham]

Peter was mentioning redirecting, which agree probably makes sense (there may be other links to RTD out there).

So the rtd directory is important for supplying a documentation build that creates a webpage on RTD to do the redirecting. This is set in the RTD config file. We wouldn't want that in our usual docs hence the separate directory.

With #615 merged, looks like the redirect is working and the docs migration is complete 😄 thanks for the help @jakirkham @pentschev!
