I'm used to use mkdocs
and I think it's simple, powerful and beautiful.
You just need to use markdown in your doc files, and create an index file to give them a title and define a navigation menu. I'm currently using this docker image for this purpose: MKDocs Material.
In summary:
docker-compose.docs.yml
version: "3.1"
networks: docs-network:
services: docs: build: context: . dockerfile: ./docs/Dockerfile image: REGISTRY/IMAGE:${PROJECT_DOCS_VERSION:-local} networks:
- For development I have an extended `docker-compose.docs.override.yml` file:
version: "3.1"
services: docs: volumes:
In my docs folder I have the Dockerfile
, the mkdocs.yml
and the Markdown files.
Dockerfile
FROM squidfunk/mkdocs-material:1.7.4
COPY ./docs /docs/docs COPY ./docs/mkdocs.yml /docs/mkdocs.yml
- `mkdocs.yml`
site_name: Doc Title pages:
- Another thing I do is to create a symbolic link in the project from the `docs/index.md` to the `README.md` file to not to duplicate the initial project description.
All you need from here is just to play with some configuration options and integrate the deployment with your favourite tool for CD and map your deployed doc with the DNS you suggested orbiter.scaledocker.com
.
If you like this idea I could provide you more details.
Hello @bvis thanks for your feedback. I know very well mkdoc and I agree it can be a good solution. I am concerned about the layout, colors and thinks like that!
Why don't use the default colors? They are well balanced, once you see it's the right tool you could invest time on the colors, I think the default layout is good enough.
If you want to manage this project with Ghost let me know, I'll be glad to host it.
Now that we have a logo, some documentation and the project is reaching a good stability I think we should think about a static fancy site. As you probably now I am not able to make anything good in terms of colors and design.
I think we can use a subdomain from scaledocker.com like orbiter.scaledocker.com
I am looking for some help!!
