SecureDrop is an open-source whistleblower submission system that media organizations can use to securely accept documents from, and communicate with anonymous sources. It was originally created by the late Aaron Swartz and is currently managed by the Freedom of the Press Foundation.

This repository is used to build the public documentation for SecureDrop.

Quickstart

1. Create a virtual environment with python3 -m venv .venv or the tooling of your choice
2. Activate your virtual environment (e.g., source .venv/bin/activate)
3. Ensure you are using an up-to-date version of pip in the virtual environment (e.g., pip install --upgrade pip)
4. Install the project requirements with pip install --require-hashes -r requirements/requirements.txt
5. Run make docs to start a live build of the documentation at http://localhost:8000
6. Edit RST files under the docs directory - your changes will be reflected in the live build
