Mongoid Documentation

This repository contains the files to handle the build and publication of the Mongoid documentation. The actual Mongoid documentation files are located in the mongoid repo.

Build Locally

To build the documentation locally,

• Install giza, if not already installed. Note that giza requires Python 2.7 and does not work with Python 3. There is an installation guide on the MongoDB meta site to help you get started.

• Run the following to download and build this documentation locally:

  git clone git@github.com:mongodb/docs-mongoid
  cd docs-mongoid/
  make html
  

The generated HTML will be placed in build/master/html/.

Note: The build process invokes Sphinx and expects Sphinx's various binaries to be in PATH.

Stage

Install mut following its installation instructions. Note that mut requires Python 3 and does not work with Python 2.7.

Request access to the documentation staging bucket. Obtain AWS S3 access key id and secret access key.

Create ~/.config/giza-aws-authentication.conf with the following contents:

[authentication]
accesskey=<AWS access key>
secretkey=<AWS secret key>

(If you run make stage without configuring authentication, it will also give you these instructions.)

Finally to publish the docs to the staging bucket, run:

make stage

The output will include a URL to the published documentation.

Deploy To Live Site

Install mut following its installation instructions. Note that mut requires Python 3 and does not work with Python 2.7.

Request access to the production documentation bucket. Obtain AWS S3 access key id and secret access key.

Create ~/.config/giza-aws-authentication.conf with the following contents:

[authentication]
accesskey=<AWS access key>
secretkey=<AWS secret key>

Publish the docs to the production bucket:

make publish deploy

Using Docker

Build the docker image:

docker build -t docs-mongoid .

Build the documentation to build subdir, clobbering its existing contents:

rm -rf build && \
mkdir build && \
docker run -itv `pwd`/build:/build \
  docs-mongoid sh -c 'make html && rsync -av build/ /build'

Note that since Docker container runs everything as root, the built files will also be owned by root and will require root access to modify or remove.

Deploy to live site (no need to configure ~/.config/giza-aws-authentication.conf on the host system):

docker run -it \
  -e AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<AWS access key> \
  -e AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<AWS secret key> \
  docs-mongoid make publish deploy
