This is a simple service that redirects URLs to the official repository for Matrix Spec Changes (MSCs).

An instance is running at https://msc.re.

It's built using the Caddy HTTP server for simplicity. See the Caddyfile for the entire setup.

The service listens on a domain and redirects requests to the official repository. For example, a request to https://msc.re/1234 will be redirected to https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/pulls/1234.

The following paths are accepted:

• / — redirects to the repository's home page
• /1234, /msc1234, /MSC1234 (case insensitive) — redirects to the pull request page

All other paths return 404 errors.

To run the service, you'll need to have Caddy installed. In the directory of this project, run:

source .envrc # to load the environment variables
caddy start

Some parameters have to be provided as environment variables.

• DOMAIN: The domain to listen on. Defaults to localhost.
• BASE_URL: The base URL to redirect to. Should be https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals.
• BASE_PATH: The path that will be put before the MSC number in the redirect URL. Should be /pulls.
