Andreas Jaeger 323d98336a Fix 404s in repo
Fix links that give 404: Replace with updated versions.

For ha-guide: Just drop the links, the guide has been changed so much
that the sections are completely different.

Deployment guides
=================
As of the Newton release, a new method of publishing deployment guides has
been implemented. This allows each deployment projects to create their own
deployment guide, based on a standard template, in their own repository.
These guides are then centrally published to
`Deployment Guides <https://docs.openstack.org/newton/deploy/>`_.
.. note::
This set up is designed for deployment projects to make their
installation information public. This does not include further
content for end users. For example, configuration content,
troubleshooting, or administration procedures.
If you would like to refer users to more content, use
cross reference links to your developer documentation
within the guide.
Setting up
~~~~~~~~~~
#. Install ``cookiecutter``:
.. code-block:: console
# pip install cookiecutter
#. Run the Install Guide cookiecutter to create a skeleton for your project:
.. important::
The Install Guide cookiecutter is also used for the deployment guides.
However, the rest of these instructions are specific to the deployment
guide creation.
.. code-block:: console
$ cookiecutter https://opendev.org/openstack/installguide-cookiecutter.git --checkout HEAD^1
You will be prompted to answer questions to complete the installation.
Content is then added to the ``deploy-guide`` directory in the
top-level of the project repository.
#. Create a ``tox.ini`` environment for the ``deploy-guide`` in your project
repository, using this content:
.. code-block:: ini
[testenv:deploy-guide]
whitelist_externals = rm
commands =
rm -rf deploy-guide/build
sphinx-build -a -E -W -d deploy-guide/build/doctrees -b html deploy-guide/source deploy-guide/build/html
#. Add your deployment guide content, and test the build locally with ``tox``:
.. code-block:: console
$ tox -e deploy-guide
The local build is in ``deploy-guide/build/html``.
#. Add the Python package ``openstackdocstheme`` to the
``test-requirements.txt`` file. Copy the exact requirement line from the
`global file
<https://opendev.org/openstack/requirements/src/branch/master/global-requirements.txt>`_:
.. code-block:: none
openstackdocstheme>=1.5.0 # Apache-2.0
#. Commit the changes to your project repository for review.
After these changes merge, you can set up the jobs for building in the
OpenStack Infra ``project-config`` repository:
#. Clone the project-config repo:
.. code-block:: console
$ git clone https://opendev.org/openstack/project-config
#. In ``jenkins/jobs/projects.yaml``, add ``deploy-guide-jobs`` within the
entry for your project:
.. code-block:: yaml
- project:
name: <project-name>
jobs:
...
- deploy-guide-jobs:
service: <service-name>
``project-name`` and ``service-name`` are the project name, and the
specific service name. One example is orchestration for heat.
This defines the jobs using the JJB ``deploy-guide-jobs`` job-template.
#. In ``zuul/layout.yaml``, locate the entry for your project and add the
``deploy-guide-jobs`` template:
.. code-block:: yaml
- name: openstack/<project-name>
template:
- name: deploy-guide-jobs
This schedules the Deploy Guide jobs.
#. Commit the changes to the infra repository for review.
To update the main index pages with a link to your deployment guide, see
:doc:`doc-tools/template-generator`.
Deployment guide and installation guide links
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you have links between your deployment guide or installation guide and your
normal documents, you need to take extra care that the links work. Any links to
your old installation guide will now point to nothing.
We recommend adding conditional branch names for documentation links within
your repo. Documents generated this way will always point to the live URLs,
not to HTML, generated for a gate job.
The link generation is done via the ``sphinx.ext.extlinks``
extension, allowing for defining custom link generation roles. This
achieves the desired behavior in terms of dynamic link construction, but
does alter the standard linking conventions.
Usage for the deploy guide is as follows:
.. code-block:: rst
:deploy_guide:`Link title text <last-part-of-url.html>`
For an example, and more information, please review the following
