What

wiki.nixos.org dead links checker gha powered by lychee

Runs twice a week, can be adjusted in the github action cron job. Need to manually edit links in wiki, nothing automated.

Initial run gave ~100 results and were fixed manually, see the entries before 16 Sep here.

Why

Dead links if detected early have a chance to prevent linkrot.

  • Why not use a broken-link-checker github action?
    • wrote this so that it is not tied in to gha (works locally)
    • gha will only call the script and upload artifact

Instructions

cd ./checks/linkcheck
direnv allow # or # nix develop ..#linkcheck
./lychee.sh

It can be run from anywhere so /path/to/checks/linkcheck/lychee.sh works but the report will be generated at /path/to/checks/linkcheck.

As usual, nix fmt works inside linkcheck dir.

TODO/Roadmap

  • archive all links found in lychee scan (see lychee --dump)
    • Since these links are prone to deletion it is our duty to archive them.
    • There was a cli tool for this, forgot what it is, rediscover it
