Why are the immich teams internal deployments available to anyone on the open web? If you go to one of their links, like they provide in the article, they have an invalid SSL certificate, which google rightly flags as being a security risk, warns you about it, and stops you from going there without manual intervention. This is standard behaviour and no-one should want google to stop doing this.
I was going to install linux on an old NUC to run immich some time soon, but think I might have to have a look to see if it has been audited by some legit security companies first. How do they not see this issue of their own doing?
It is for pull requests. A user makes a change to the documentation, they want to be able to see the changes on a web page.
If you don't have them on the open web, developers and pull request authors can't see the previews.
The issue they had was being marked as phishing, not the SSL certificate warning page.
Have you seen what browsers say when you have a look at the SSL certificate warning page?
Why is a user made PR publishing a branch to Immich's domain for the user to see?
I thought that was how pull requests worked, its a branch if you'veade a departure to edit code, you have the pull request and ask them to merge into the main branch. It should be visible to everyone so everyone can review the change.
The branch for the PR shouldn't be hosted on the production site's domain, and that deployment that the company will be testing and reviewing shouldn't be accessible to the public. They even have internal in the URL, while being accessible by external people lol
