# Icinga Documentation
This repository includes scripts to build the documentation for all Icinga projects.
The `build-docs.rb` script clones the configured project to a certain directory and switches to the specified
branch. It searches for `*.md` files within the configured directory and creates documentation sections out of them.
The ordering is defined by the file names. The capitalized name of each file is used as a title for this documentation
section. The generates the `mkdocs.yml` file.
## Usage
``` bash
Usage: build-docs.rb -c config.yml -t mkdocs.template.yml}
-f, --config FILENAME Configuration file with project definition. Defaults to "config.yml"
-t, --template FILENAME This file is used as template for the generated mkdocs.yaml. Defaults to "mkdocs.template.yml"
-h, --help Show this message
```
## Configuration
### `config.yml`
This file defines generally for which project documentation should be build.
General settings:
| Option | Description |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `site_name` | The `site_name` is displayed as title on the generated page |
| `source_dir'` | Target directory to store the documentation source. |
| `site_dir` | Target directory for generated html |
| `project` | General project settings |
Project settings:
| Option | Description |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `git` | Git repository to clone |
| `ref` | Git branch or tag to checkout. For tags use `tags/v1.1.0` notation |
| `target` | A unique name to define the target. This is added to `source_dir` and `site_dir` |
| `docs_dir` | Directory within the repository that includes documentation files. Eg. `doc` |
| `latest` | If set to `true`, this documentation will be marked as the latest. This is important for the URLs. |
| `subprojects` | A project may include one ore more sub-projects. |
Subprojects are optional. They allow you to display a project documentation within another project documentation.
We need this for Icinga Web 2, Icinga Director and other projects where we summarise multiple repositories into one documentation.
Example:
``` yaml
site_name: 'Icinga 2'
source_dir: 'www/source'
site_dir: 'www/html'
project:
git: 'https://github.com/Icinga/icinga2.git'
ref: 'support/2.7'
target: 'icinga2'
docs_dir: 'doc'
latest: true
```
Example with subprojects:
``` yaml
site_name: 'Director'
source_dir: 'www/source'
site_dir: 'www/html'
project:
git: 'https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2-module-director.git'
ref: 'support/1.4'
target: 'director'
docs_dir: 'doc'
latest: true
subprojects:
PuppetDB:
git: 'https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2-module-puppetdb.git'
ref: 'master'
target: 'puppetdb'
docs_dir: 'puppetdb/doc'
```
### `mkdocs.template.yml`
This file is used as a template for the final `mkdocs.yml`. Default settings and some other configuration options are
here.
