cert-manager website

This repository contains the source code for the cert-manager.io website, as well as the project documentation.

Developing

We provide a number of scripts that can be used to build and develop the site.

Branches

The 'master' branch should be targeted for the majority of PRs.

This repo has 'release branches' (i.e. release-0.12, release-0.13, ...). These are kept in-line with the release branches in the jetstack/cert-manager repository.

Once your pull request has been merged into master, it is typically 'cherrypicked' into whatever release branches it is appropriate to make the change in.

If a change only affects a specific older version, pull requests can be opened directly against the documentation content in the contents/docs directory.

Changes to other areas of the codebase on release branches are not permitted.

The HTML/CSS/JavaScript used for the final website will always be deployed from the latest 'release branch' - this means that all versions of our documentation have a consistent style, and avoids us having to run the hugo command from multiple different release branches.

Multi-versioning

Because we publish documentation for multiple versions of cert-manager, we have an additional 'release' mode that can be used when building, developing or deploying the website.

The majority of scripts mentioned below have corresponding *-release versions that can be used. These scripts will first gather all content from all the configured documentation versions and include them in the output.

This is not enabled by default as it requires running git clone multiple times against multiple copies of the repository, which is a time consuming operation.

Requirements

The majority of tools needed to build the website are automatically installed and versioned when you build the site by the tools in scripts/.

You also need to ensure you have the following tool(s) installed on your system as they are not managed by the scripts/ directory:

  • npm/nodejs
  • Golang 1.12+

Local development

When developing locally, you can use the hugo server mode to start a local webserver that watches for changes on your filesystem and automatically refreshes the generated content and page when changes are detected.

To run this mode, run:

./scripts/server

This will start a local webserver on http://localhost:1313 where you can view the built site.

There is also a ./scripts/server-release command which will fetch all versions of the documentation content before running the regular server script.

Building output HTML

If you want to build a directory containing the built HTML, you can run the following command:

./scripts/build

This will generate a directory named public/ that can be easily served by the default configuration of most webservers.

There is also a ./scripts/build-release command which will fetch all versions of the documentation content before running the regular build script.

Running verification scripts

After you have made changes to the website, you should run the verify scripts to ensure things like spelling and links are valid.

To run all the verify checks, run:

./scripts/verify

This will automatically run a number of checks against your changes.

There is also a ./scripts/verify-release command which will fetch all versions of the documentation content before running the regular verify script.
