Open Build Service Documentation

This is the official, edited and reviewed documentation for the Open Build Service (OBS).

The documentation is currently split into these books:

• The OBS User Guide (DC-obs-user-guide)
• The OBS Administration Guide (DC-obs-admin-guide)

We are using openSUSEs DocBook Authoring and Publishing Suite (daps) and the SUSE Documentation Style Guide.

Development Environment

daps comes with a docker/podman based development environment that you can install via the package daps2docker.

After editing something in the OBS User Guide you can validate your changes via

daps2docker DC-obs-user-guide validate

or if you want to preview the HTML files you can use

rm -rf /tmp/daps2docker-*; daps2docker DC-obs-user-guide html; xdg-open /tmp/daps2docker-*/obs-user-guide/html/book.obs-user/index.html

For more detailed information see

daps2docker --help
