Building this Project

Prerequisite

  • docfx needs to be on your path
    • mac/linux requires mono which is easily installed by following these install steps
    • an alias can be made to make docfx use easier DOCFX_EXE=~/tools/docfx/current/docfx.exe mono $DOCFX_EXE (or whatever you prefer)
  • Linux - Documentation is run routinely by our CI
  • Windows - Developed with Windows Subsytem for Linux (WSL)
  • Doxygen - Doxygen is used to generate the api documentation for the C SDK and is necessary to be on the path
  • awscli - the swift sdk documentation is currently housed in aws and requires aws access to embed the swift doc. the gendoc.sh may fail or the documentation may be incomplete if the swift doc is not obtained

Building the Doc

Github offers github pages which this project uses to host the output of building the static content. Github has a few options for where you can put your doc at this time, the master branch, a folder on the master branch named 'docs' or a special branch that still works named "gh-pages". This project is currently configured to use the master branch and docs folder.

The best/easiest thing to do in order to build these docs is to have Windows Subsytem for Linux installed or any shell which can execute a .sh script. As of 2020 there's a multitude of ways to get a bash/shell interpreter in windows. It's not feasible to test all these shells to make sure this script works so it's encouraged that you use a linux-based flavor of bash. If the script doesn't funtion - open an issue and someone will look into it.

After cloning this repository open the bash shell and execute the script.

You can then run docfx serve docs to serve the html and view it in a browser.

Sparse Checkout

If you want only the bits required for build, you can do the following

echo 'path/to/important/dir' >> .git/modules/docfx_project/<SUBPROJECT>/info/sparse-checkout
cd docfx_project/<SUBPROJECT>/
git config core.sparseCheckout true
git checkout

For example

echo '/quickstart' >> .git/modules/docfx_project/ziti-cmd/info/sparse-checkout
cd docfx_project/ziti-cmd
git config core.sparseCheckout true
git checkout 

Running CI equivalent locally

CI uses docker and a bunch of env vars to run. Set the accordingly then issue:

docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/doc \
  -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=$aws_access_key_id \
  -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$aws_secret_access_key \
  -e AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1 \
  -e GIT_BRANCH=$GIT_BRANCH \
  -e gh_ci_key=$gh_ci_key \
  openziti/doc:latest /bin/sh -c "/doc/publish.sh"
