Contribution Workflow

1. Create a repo fork in GitHub

2. Clone the dcos/dcos-website repo

3. Add repo fork as remote repo:

   git remote add fork https://github.com/<github-user>/dcos-website
   git fetch fork
   

4. Checkout the develop branch:

   git checkout develop
   

5. Create a new feature branch:

   git checkout -b feature/<feature-name>
   

6. Make local changes.

7. Test your changes locally.

8. Add and commit changes:

   git add -p .
   git commit
   

9. Rebase repo fork to include recent dcos/dcos-website:develop changes. Rebasing a repo (instead of merging) will keep your fork commit history clean and move all your changes to the top of the commit log.

   git fetch origin
   git pull --rebase origin develop
   

   Tip: May require resolving conflicts.

10. Push changes to repo fork feature branch:

    git push -u fork feature/<feature-name>
    

11. Create a pull request from the repo fork feature branch to dcos/dcos-website:develop.

Once changes are accepted and merged to the develop branch, CI will push the updates to https://dev.dcos.io/.

Testing your updates locally

1. Update the dcos-docs submodule:

   git submodule update --init --recursive
   

2. Build a local version of the doc site. The DC/OS website can be built locally using Node or run in an Nginx Docker container.

• Using Node

  1. Install Node

  2. Install dependencies:

     npm install
     

  3. Launch local dev server:

     npm start
     

     (opens dev server in browser)

  4. Verify changes on localhost server (updates automatically when files are changed).

• Using an Nginx Docker image

  1. Install Docker Toolkit

  2. Configure your shell:

     eval $(/usr/local/bin/docker-machine env default)
     

  3. Build the website server Docker image:

     ci/docker-build-image.sh
     

  4. Run the website server in Docker:

     SERVER_CID="$(ci/docker-run.sh)"
     

  5. By default, the server runs on port 80. You can find the server IP by running

     docker-machine ip default
     

  6. Stop the website server:

     docker rm -f "${SERVER_CID}"
     

Updating the documentation

Prerequisite:

• You must have administrator privileges for the https://github.com/dcos/dcos-website repo.

1. Check out the develop branch.

   $ git checkout develop

2. Pull the latest content from the develop branch.

   $ git pull

3. Create a branch off of develop for your changes. For example:

   $ git checkout -b bump-docs/11-3-16

4. Run the bump-docs script:

   scripts/bump_docs.sh

5. Commit and push your branch to dcos-website. For example:

   $ git push origin bump-docs/11-3-16

   Tip: git status will not show local changes.

6. Submit a PR to merge your branch to develop.

   

   You should see something like this:

   Important:

   • An automated link checker is run on all merges and PRs to dcos-website. This will take about 10 minutes. You can check the results here. Broken links will not block merging, but should be reviewed.
   • When this PR is merged, the staging server is built: https://dev.dcos.io/docs/.

7. After the changes have been previewed and accepted on https://dev.dcos.io/, run this script:

   ci/promote.sh
   

   This script rebases develop to master and kicks off a CI build that deploys (ci/deploy.sh), updates redirects (ci/update-redirects.sh), and updates the S3 website config (ci/update-website-conifg.sh).

Promoting site to live

Once changes have been previewed and accepted on https://dev.dcos.io/, the maintainers will rebase develop to master:

$ git checkout develop
$ git pull 
$ ci/promote.sh

Continuous integration will handle deploying updates (ci/deploy.sh), updating redirects (ci/update-redirects.sh), and updating the S3 website config (ci/update-website-conifg.sh).

Managing redirects

There are two types of redirects, stored in two different files:

• Page Redirects: https://github.com/dcos/dcos-website/redirect-files
• Prefix Redirects: https://github.com/dcos/dcos-website/redirect-prefixes

That both use following format:

/from/ /to/

Both types of redirects are processed and used in the S3, npm/gulp, and docker/nginx environments.

The "current" version of DC/OS that corresponds to /docs/latest/ is managed in the redirect-prefixes file.

Link checking

Validating links requires building and running a local site.You can run a local site as a standalone process or alternatively as a part of a docs build.

1. Build the website server Docker image:

   ci/docker-build-image.sh
   

2. Start the website server in Docker and remember the container ID:

   SERVER_CID="$(PORT=3000 ci/docker-run.sh)"
   

3. Run link validation in Docker:

   ci/docker-validate-links.sh
   

4. Stop the website server

   docker rm -f "${SERVER_CID}"
