Publishing Docs#

We use mkdocs and mike for publishing docs to docs.k0sproject.io. This guide will provide a simple how-to on how to configure and deploy newly added docs to our website.

Requirements#

Install mike: https://github.com/jimporter/mike#installation

  • All docs must live under the docs directory (I.E., changes to the main README.md are not reflected in the website).
  • Add a new link under nav in the main mkdocs.yml file: nav: - Overview: README.md - Creating A Cluster: - Quick Start Guide: create-cluster.md - Run in Docker: k0s-in-docker.md - Single node set-up: k0s-single-node.md - Configuration Reference: - Architecture: architecture.md - Networking: networking.md - Configuration Options: configuration.md - Configuring Containerd: containerd_config.md - Using A Custom CRI: custom-cri-runtime.md - Using Cloud Providers: cloud-providers.md - Running k0s with Traefik: examples/traefik-ingress.md - Running k0s as a service: install.md - k0s CLI Help Pages: cli/k0s.md - Deploying Manifests: manifests.md - FAQ: FAQ.md - Troubleshooting: troubleshooting.md - Contributing: - Overview: contributors/overview.md - Workflow: contributors/github_workflow.md - Testing: contributors/testing.md
  • Once your changes are pushed to main, the "Publish Docs" jos will start running: https://github.com/k0sproject/k0s/actions?query=workflow%3A%22Publish+docs+via+GitHub+Pages%22
  • You should see the deployment outcome in the gh-pages deployment page: https://github.com/k0sproject/k0s/deployments/activity_log?environment=github-pages

Testing docs locally#

We've got a dockerized setup for easily testing docs in local environment. Simply run docker-compose up in the docs root folder. The docs will be available on localhost:80.

Note If you have something already running locally on port 80 you need to change the mapped port on the docker-compose.yml file.
