|

The source for Docker documentation is here under ``sources/`` and uses
|
||||
extended Markdown, as implemented by [mkdocs](http://mkdocs.org).
|
||||
|
||||
The HTML files are built and hosted on https://docs.docker.io, and update
|
||||
automatically after each change to the master or release branch of the
|
||||
[docker files on GitHub](https://github.com/dotcloud/docker) thanks to
|
||||
post-commit hooks. The "release" branch maps to the "latest"
|
||||
documentation and the "master" (unreleased development) branch maps to the "master"
|

documentation.

## Branches
|
||||
|
||||
**There are two branches related to editing docs**: ``master`` and a
|
||||
``docs`` branch. You should always edit
|
||||
docs on a local branch of the ``master`` branch, and send a PR against ``master``.
|
||||
That way your fixes
|
||||
will automatically get included in later releases, and docs maintainers
|
||||
can easily cherry-pick your changes into the ``docs`` release branch.
|
||||
In the rare case where your change is not forward-compatible,
|
||||
you may need to base your changes on the ``docs`` branch.

of the ``master`` branch, and send a PR against ``master``.
|
||||
|
||||
Now that we have a ``docs`` branch, we can keep the [http://docs.docker.io](http://docs.docker.io) docs
|
||||
up to date with any bugs found between ``docker`` code releases.

include features not yet part of any official docker

Getting Started
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
Docker documentation builds are done in a docker container, which installs all
|
||||
the required tools, adds the local ``docs/`` directory and builds the HTML
|
||||
docs. It then starts a HTTP server on port 8000 so that you can connect
|
||||
and see your changes.

|
||||
|
||||
In the ``docker`` source directory, run:
|
||||
```make docs```
|
||||
In the root of the ``docker`` source directory:
|
||||
|
||||
cd docker
|
||||
|
||||
Run:
|
||||
|
||||
make docs
|
||||
|
||||
If you have any issues you need to debug, you can use ``make docs-shell`` and
|
||||
then run ``mkdocs serve``

# Contributing
|
||||
|
||||
## Normal Case:
|
||||
|
||||
* Follow the contribution guidelines ([see
|
||||
``../CONTRIBUTING.md``](../CONTRIBUTING.md)).
|
||||
* [Remember to sign your work!](../CONTRIBUTING.md#sign-your-work)
|
||||
* Work in your own fork of the code, we accept pull requests.
|
||||
* Change the ``.md`` files with your favorite editor -- try to keep the
|
||||
lines short (80 chars) and respect Markdown conventions.
|
||||
* Run ``make clean docs`` to clean up old files and generate new ones,
|
||||
or just ``make docs`` to update after small changes.
|
||||
* Your static website can now be found in the ``_build`` directory.
|
||||
* To preview what you have generated run ``make server`` and open
|
||||
http://localhost:8000/ in your favorite browser.
|
||||
|
||||
``make clean docs`` must complete without any warnings or errors.
