OpenStack Manuals

This repository contains documentation for the OpenStack project.

For more details, see the OpenStack Documentation wiki page.

It includes these manuals:

Admin User Guide

Architecture Design Guide

Cloud Administrator Guide

Command-Line Interface Reference

Configuration Reference

End User Guide

High Availability Guide

Installation Guides

Virtual Machine Image Guide

In addition to the guides, this repository contains:

docs.openstack.org: www

Prerequisites

Apache Maven must be installed to build the documentation.

To install Maven 3 for Ubuntu 12.04 and later, and Debian wheezy and later:

apt-get install maven

On Fedora 20 and later:

yum install maven

Building

The different manuals are in subdirectories of the openstack-manuals/doc/ directory.

For example, the root directory of the OpenStack User Guide is openstack-manuals/doc/user-guide.

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/user-guide/
mvn clean generate-sources

The generated PDF documentation file is:

openstack-manuals/doc/user-guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/user-guide.pdf

The root of the generated HTML documentation is:

openstack-manuals/doc/user-guide/target/docbkx/webhelp/user-guide/content/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 checkniceness - to run the niceness tests

tox -e checksyntax - to run syntax checks

tox -e checkdeletions - to check that no deleted files are referenced

tox -e checkbuild - to actually build the manual

tox will use the openstack-doc-tools package for execution of these tests.
