+++++++++++++++++
This repository contains the cloud administrator documentation for the
OpenStack project. It includes documentation for:
* OpenStack Compute
* OpenStack Identity Service
* OpenStack Image Service
* OpenStack Object Storage
* OpenStack Dashboard
For more details, see the `OpenStack Documentation HowTo wiki page
<http://wiki.openstack.org/Documentation/HowTo>`_.
In addtion to the guides, this repository contains:
* api.openstack.org: ``doc/src/docbkx/openstack-api-site``
* docs.openstack.org: ``www``
Prerequisites
=============
`Apache Maven <http://maven.apache.org/>`_ must be installed to build the
documentation.
To install Maven for Ubuntu::
apt-get install maven2
Building
========
To build the *Compute Admin Manual*, *Object Storage Admin Manual*, and
*Image Service Manual*::
cd openstack-manuals/doc
mvn clean generate-sources
The different manuals are in subdirectories of the
``openstack-manuals/doc/src/docbkx`` directory.
For example, the root directory of the *OpenStack Compute Administration Guide*
is ``openstack-manuals/doc/src/docbkx/openstack-compute-admin``.
To build a specific guide, look for a ``pom.xml`` file within a subdirectory,
then run the ``mvn`` command in that directory. For example::
cd openstack-manuals/doc/src/docbkx/openstack-compute-admin
mvn clean generate-sources
The generated PDF documentation file is::
openstack-manuals/doc/src/docbkx/openstack-compute-admin/target/docbkx/webhelp/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/os-compute-adminguide-trunk.pdf
The root of the generated HTML documentation is::
openstack-manuals/doc/src/docbkx/openstack-compute-admin/target/docbkx/webhelp/os-compute-adminguide/content/index.html
