Starting with VyOS 1.2 (`crux`) our documentation is hosted on ReadTheDocs at https://docs.vyos.io
Our old wiki with documentation from the VyOS 1.1.x and early 1.2.0 era can still be accessed via the
[Wayback Machine](https://web.archive.org/web/20200225171529/https://wiki.vyos.net/wiki/Main_Page)
# Build
[](https://docs.vyos.io/en/latest/?badge=latest)
# Versions
Our version follows the very same branching scheme as the VyOS source modules
itself. We maintain one documentation branch per VyOS release. The default
branch that contains the most recent VyOS documentation is called `current`
and matches the latest VyOS release which is 1.4 at the time.
All new documentation enhancements go to the `current` branch. If those changes
are beneficial for previous VyOS documentation versions they will be
cherry-picked to the appropriate branch(es).
Post-1.2.0 branches are named after constellations sorted by area from smallest to
largest. There are 88 of them, here's the
[complete list](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IAU_designated_constellations_by_area).
* 1.2.x: `crux` (Southern Cross)
* 1.3.x: `equuleus` (Little Horse)
* 1.4.x: `sagitta` (Arrow)
* ...
### Sphinx
Debian requires some extra steps for
installing `sphinx`, `sphinx-autobuild`, `sphinx-notfound-page`, `sphinx-panels`,
`sphinx-rtd-theme`, `lxml`, and `myst-parser` packages:
First ensure that Python 2 & Python 3 are installed and Python 3 is the default:
```bash
python --version
```
Alternatively, to make Python the default, revise the following line to
point at the relevant 3.x version of the binary on your system:
```bash
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 0
```
Then install the sphinx group of packages:
```bash
sudo apt-get install python3-sphinx
```
Although almost everything uses Python 3, in order to install this specific
package, make sure that pip points at the Python 2 version of the package manager:
```bash
python --version
```
Then run:
```bash
sudo pip install sphinx-autobuild sphinx-notfound-page sphinx-panels sphinx-rtd-theme lxml myst-parser
```
Do the following to build the HTML and start a web server:
* Run `make livehtml` inside the `docs` folder
Then, to view the live output:
* Browse to http://localhost:8000
Note: The changes you save to the sources are represented in the live HTML output
automatically (and almost instantly) without the need to rebuild or refresh manually.
## Docker
Using our [Dockerfile](docker/Dockerfile) you can create your own Docker container
that is used to build a VyOS documentation.
## Setup
You can either build the container on your own or directly fetch it prebuilt
from Dockerhub. If you want to build it for yourself, use the following command.
```bash
$ docker build -t vyos/vyos-documentation docker
```
### Building documentation
If the `vyos/vyos-documentation` container could not be found locally it will be
automatically fetched from Dockerhub.
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/vyos/vyos-documentation.git
$ cd vyos-documentation
$ docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/vyos -w /vyos/docs -e GOSU_UID=$(id -u) -e GOSU_GID=$(id -g) vyos/vyos-documentation make html
# For sphinx autobuild
$ docker run --rm -it -p 8000:8000 -v "$(pwd)":/vyos -w /vyos/docs -e GOSU_UID=$(id -u) -e GOSU_GID=$(id -g) vyos/vyos-documentation make livehtml
```
### Test the docs
To test all files, run:
```bash
$ docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/vyos -w /vyos/docs -e GOSU_UID=$(id -u) -e GOSU_GID=$(id -g) vyos/vyos-documentation vale .
```
to test a specific file (e.g. `quick-start.rst`)
```bash
$ docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/vyos -w /vyos/docs -e GOSU_UID=$(id -u) -e GOSU_GID=$(id -g) vyos/vyos-documentation vale quick-start.rst
```
