Onion Documentation

Welcome to the source for https://documentation.onioniot.com/

This repo is based on Docusaurus 2, a modern static website generator and is used to build our documentation site.

Continuous Deployment (CD) is setup for this repo so all pushes to the main branch will automatically update the https://documentation.onioniot.com/ site.

This is documentation for the beta openwrt-22.03 firmware only! Visit https://docs.onion.io for stable v0.3.4 (and v0.3.3) firmware documentation

Editing Documentation

All doc articles are available in the docs/ directory of this repo. The files are written in markdown and have .md exensions.

In order for articles to be listed in the sidebar on the site, the sidebars.js file needs to be modified.

• Markdown Syntax: MDX is the parsing engine, which can do much more than just parsing standard Markdown syntax, like rendering React components inside documents as well. More information here: https://docusaurus.io/docs/markdown-features
• Sidebar: The sidebars.js file determines the categories and ordering of documentation articles and categories on the side. To learn more, see https://docusaurus.io/docs/sidebar

Developing

You shouldn't need to run the site if you simply want to edit the documentation, although you could if you want to be sure it works as expected. See the details below

Local Development

First, install dependencies

yarn

Next, run the site:

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

$ yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

CI Build

$ npm ci
$ npm run build

This is the command the AWS Amplify CI (Continuous Integration) system uses to build the site (generate static content into the build directory). This has stricter rules than the local development build.
