Features Are Better When You Know How to Use Them

|
You've found something unclear in the documentation and want to give a try at explaining it better?
|
|
Let's see how.
|
|
|
|
## Building Documentation
|
|
|
|
### General
|
|
|
|
This [documentation](../../ "Link to the official Traefik documentation") is built with [MkDocs](https://mkdocs.org/ "Link to website of MkDocs").
|
|
|
|
### Method 1: `Docker` and `make`
|
|
|
|
Please make sure you have the following requirements installed:
|
|
|
|
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/ "Link to website of Docker")
|
|
|
|
You can build the documentation and test it locally (with live reloading), using the `docs-serve` target:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make docs-serve
|
|
docker build -t traefik-docs -f docs.Dockerfile .
|
|
# […]
|
|
docker run --rm -v /home/user/go/github/traefik/traefik:/mkdocs -p 8000:8000 traefik-docs mkdocs serve
|
|
# […]
|
|
[I 170828 20:47:48 server:283] Serving on http://0.0.0.0:8000
|
|
[I 170828 20:47:48 handlers:60] Start watching changes
|
|
[I 170828 20:47:48 handlers:62] Start detecting changes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!!! tip "Default URL"
|
|
|
|
Your local documentation server will run by default on <http://127.0.0.1:8000>.
|
|
|
|
If you only want to build the documentation without serving it locally, you can use the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make docs-build
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Method 2: `MkDocs`
|
|
|
|
Please make sure you have the following requirements installed:
|
|
|
|
- [Python](https://www.python.org/ "Link to website of Python")
|
|
- [pip](https://pypi.org/project/pip/ "Link to the website of pip on PyPI")
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ python --version
|
|
Python 2.7.2
|
|
$ pip --version
|
|
pip 1.5.2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, install MkDocs with `pip`.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pip install --user -r requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To build the documentation locally and serve it locally, run `mkdocs serve` from the root directory.
|
|
This will start a local server.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ mkdocs serve
|
|

|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Check the Documentation
|
|
|
|
To check that the documentation meets standard expectations (no dead links, html markup validity, ...), use the `docs-verify` target.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make docs-verify
|
|
docker build -t traefik-docs-verify ./script/docs-verify-docker-image ## Build Validator image
|
|
...
|
|
docker run --rm -v /home/travis/build/traefik/traefik:/app traefik-docs-verify ## Check for dead links and w3c compliance
|
|
=== Checking HTML content...
|
|
Running ["HtmlCheck", "ImageCheck", "ScriptCheck", "LinkCheck"] on /app/site/basics/index.html on *.html...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!!! note "Clean & Verify"
|
|
|
|
If you've made changes to the documentation, it's safer to clean it before verifying it.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ make docs
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Will perform all necessary steps for you.
|
|
|
|
!!! note "Disabling Documentation Verification"
|
|
|
|
Verification can be disabled by setting the environment variable `DOCS_VERIFY_SKIP` to `true`:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
DOCS_VERIFY_SKIP=true make docs-verify
|
|
...
|
|
DOCS_LINT_SKIP is true: no linting done.
|
|
```
