OpenStack Manuals +++++++++++++++++ This repository contains documentation for the OpenStack project. For more details, see the `OpenStack Documentation Contributor Guide `_. It includes these manuals: * Administrator Guide * Architecture Design Guide * Command-Line Interface Reference * Configuration Reference * Documentation Contributor Guide * End User Guide * High Availability Guide * Installation Tutorials * Networking Guide * Operations Guide * Virtual Machine Image Guide In addition to the guides, this repository contains: * docs.openstack.org contents: ``www`` Building ======== Various manuals are in subdirectories of the ``doc/`` directory. Guides ------ All guides are in the RST format. You can use ``tox`` to prepare virtual environment and build all guides:: $ tox -e docs You can also build a specific guide. For example, to build *OpenStack End User Guide*, use the following command:: $ tox -e build -- user-guide You can find the root of the generated HTML documentation at:: doc/user-guide/build/html/index.html Testing of changes and building of the manual ============================================= Install the Python tox package and run ``tox`` from the top-level directory to use the same tests that are done as part of our Jenkins gating jobs. If you like to run individual tests, run: * ``tox -e checkbuild`` - to actually build the manual * ``tox -e checklang`` - to build translated manuals * ``tox -e checkniceness`` - to run the niceness tests * ``tox -e linkcheck`` - to run the tests for working remote URLs tox will use the openstack-doc-tools package for execution of these tests. Contributing ============ Our community welcomes all people interested in open source cloud computing, and encourages you to join the `OpenStack Foundation `_. The best way to get involved with the community is to talk with others online or at a meet up and offer contributions through our processes, the `OpenStack wiki `_, blogs, or on IRC at ``#openstack`` on ``irc.freenode.net``. We welcome all types of contributions, from blueprint designs to documentation to testing to deployment scripts.
