Building the docs

If you are on EPEL 7 or Fedora, the first thing you will need is to install mkdocs, with the following command :

# sudo yum install mkdocs

For Fedora 30+ (run the following in root)

# dnf install python-pip
# pip install -r requirements.txt

Then you need to run mkdocs from the root of that repository:

$ mkdocs build

If you see an error about docs_dir when using recent versions of mkdocs , try running additional steps mentioned below:

$ cp ./mkdocs.yml ../
$ cd ..

Edit below entry in the copied mkdocs.yml file

docs_dir: ./glusterdocs/

Then you need to run mkdocs

$ mkdocs build

The result will be in the site/ subdirectory, in HTML.

Building the docs in Docker

Included is a Makefile and a Dockerfile, which enables you to easily build the docs inside Docker without installing any dependencies on your system.

Simply run the following command to compile the docs:

make

This Makefile recipe builds a Docker image containing the dependencies required and runs mkdocs inside the built image, taking care to run the container as the current uid and gid so that your user has ownership of the results in the ./site directory.
