Nextcloud config.sample.php to RST converter

This script creates a RST file from the comments inside of config.sample.php.

Production setup

The live environment that updates https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_server/config_sample_php_parameters.html is running on the translation sync server based on this docker image: https://github.com/nextcloud/docker-ci/blob/master/translations/Dockerfile-Documentation-Sync So after performing changes in this repository here, a new docker image has to be created in the docker-ci repository.

Install the dependencies with composer:

composer install

Just call following in your Nextcloud server repo:

php -f convert.php path/to/config.sample.php path/to/config_sample_php_parameters.rst

This will create a file sample_config.rst which was generated from config/config.sample.php

Currently this relies on following

all comments need to start with /** and end with */ - each on their own line
add a @see CONFIG_INDEX to copy a previously described config option also to this line
everything between the */ and the next /** will be treated as the config option

You can set following options:

The tag which invokes to copy a config description to the current position

$COPY_TAG = 'see';

The file which should be parsed

$CONFIG_SAMPLE_FILE = 'config/config.sample.php';

The file to put output in

$OUTPUT_FILE = 'sample_config.rst';
