sudo pip install sphinx-autobuild

To build and run a webeserver, inside the docs folder:

make livehtml and browse to http://localhost:8000

Docker

Using our Dockerfile you create your own Docker container that is used to build a VyOS documentation.

Setup

You can either build the container on your own or directly fetch it prebuild from Dockerhub. If you want to build it for yourself, use the following command.

$ docker build -t vyos/vyos-documentation docker

Build documentation

If the vyos/vyos-documentation container could not be found locally it will be automatically fetched from Dockerhub.

$ docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/vyos -w /vyos/docs \
  -e GOSU_UID=$(id -u) -e GOSU_GID=$(id -g) vyos/vyos-documentation make html

# sphinx autobuild
$ docker run --rm -it -p 8000:8000 -v "$(pwd)":/vyos -w /vyos/docs -e \
  GOSU_UID=$(id -u) -e GOSU_GID=$(id -g) vyos/vyos-documentation make livehtml

Test the docs

Discuss in this Phabricator task: T1731

To test all files run:

$ docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/vyos -w /vyos/docs \
  -e GOSU_UID=$(id -u) -e GOSU_GID=$(id -g) vyos/vyos-documentation vale .

to test a specific file e.g. clustering.rst

$ docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/vyos -w /vyos/docs -e GOSU_UID=$(id -u) \
  -e GOSU_GID=$(id -g) vyos/vyos-documentation vale clustering.rst
