Documentation contributions¶

These are instructions for contributing to Robusta's documentation.

Robusta's docs¶

These docs are Sphinx docs.

Currently it's all manual docs, but at a later phase can crawl the python code, and auto generate additional docs.

The docs are deployed into a public gcp bucket.

Any push to docs/* will trigger a github workflow, that will build the docs to 'master' (https://docs.robusta.dev/master) Creating a code release will build and deploy docs release too. (for example: https://docs.robusta.dev/0.4.26)

If you need to override an existing doc release, you can manually trigger the workflow, with the release version as a parameter.

The docs definitions are .rst files. Learn more about .rst files here

Prerequisites to be present on your local machine:

First download Robusta(source code):

git clone https://github.com/robusta-dev/robusta.git && cd robusta

Install the build requirements:

poetry install -E all

To build the docs and develop locally run the script:

./docs_autobuild.sh

Note: If you're on windows, run the contents of the docs_autobuild.sh manually.

Run make help inside the docs directory for more options for working with sphinx.
