Documentation
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
As most software projects we also have a lack in documentation. We encourage
|
|
every VyOS user to help us improve our documentation. This will not only be
|
|
beneficial for you (when reading something up) but also for the whole world.
|
|
|
|
If you are willing to contribute to our documentation this is the definite
|
|
guide how to do so.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: In contrast to submitting code patches, there is no requirement that
|
|
you open up a Phabricator_ task prior to submitting a Pull-Request to the
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
Forking Workflow
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
The Forking Workflow is fundamentally different than other popular Git
|
|
workflows. Instead of using a single server-side repository to act as the
|
|
"central" codebase, it gives every developer their own server-side repository.
|
|
This means that each contributor has not one, but two Git repositories: a
|
|
private local one and a public server-side one.
|
|
|
|
The main advantage of the Forking Workflow is that contributions can be
|
|
integrated without the need for everybody to push to a single central
|
|
repository. Developers push to their own server-side repositories, and only the
|
|
project maintainer can push to the official repository. This allows the
|
|
maintainer to accept commits from any developer without giving them write
|
|
access to the official codebase.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Updates to our documentation should be delivered by a GitHub
|
|
pull-request. This requires you already have a GitHub account.
|
|
|
|
* Fork this project on GitHub https://github.com/vyos/vyos-documentation/fork
|
|
|
|
* Clone fork to local machine
|
|
|
|
* Change to your new local directory ``$ cd vyos-documentation``
|
|
|
|
* Create new branch for your work, use a descriptive name of your work:
|
|
``$ git checkout -b fix-vxlan-typo``
|
|
|
|
* Make all your changes - please keep our commit rules in mind
|
|
(:ref:`prepare_commit`). This mainly applies to proper commit messages
|
|
describing your change (how and why). Please check out the documentation of
|
|
Sphinx-doc_ or reStructuredText_ if you are not familiar with it. This is used
|
|
for writing our docs.
|
|
|
|
* Check your changes by locally building the documentation ``$ make html``.
|
|
Sphinx will build the html files in the ``docs/_build`` folder. We provide
|
|
you with a Docker container for an easy to use user experience. Check the
|
|
README.md_ file of this repository.
|
|
|
|
* View modified files by calling ``$ git status``. You will get an overview of
|
|
all files modified by you. You can add individual files to the Git Index in
|
|
the next step.
|
|
|
|
* Add modified files to Git index ``$ git add path/to/filename`` or add all
|
|
unstaged files ``$ git add .``. All files added to the Git index will be part
|
|
of you following Git commit.
|
|
|
|
* Commit your changes ``$ git commit -v`` - your configured editor will now ne
|
|
launched where you can type in a commit message. Again please make yourself
|
|
comfortable with out rules (:ref:`prepare_commit`).
|
|
|
|
* Push your commits to your GitHub project: ``$ git push -u origin foo-branch``
|
|
|
|
* Submit pull-request. In GitHub visit the main repository and you should
|
|
see a banner suggesting to make a pull request. Fill out the form and
|
|
describe what you do.
|
|
|
|
* Once pull resquests have been approved, you may want to locally update
|
|
your forked repository too. First you'll have to add a second remote
|
|
called `upstream` which points to our main repository. ``$ git remote add
|
|
upstream https://github.com/vyos/vyos-documentation.git``
|
|
|
|
Check your configured remote repositories:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
$ git remote -v
|
|
origin https://github.com/<username>/vyos-documentation.git (fetch)
|
|
origin https://github.com/<username>/vyos.documentation.git (push)
|
|
upstream https://github.com/vyos/vyos-documentation.git (fetch)
|
|
upstream https://github.com/vyos/vyos-documentation.git (push)
|
|
|
|
Your remote repo on Github is called ``origin``, while the original repo you
|
|
have forked is called ``upstream``. Now you can locally update your forked
|
|
repo.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
$ git fetch upstream
|
|
$ git checkout master
|
|
$ git merge upstream/master
|
|
|
|
* If you want to update your fork on GitHub, too use the following: ``$ git
|
|
push origin master``
|
|

Note the following RFCs (:rfc:`5737`, :rfc:`3849`, :rfc:`5389` and
|
|
:rfc:`7042`), which describe the reserved public IP addresses and autonomous
|
|
system numbers for the documentation:
|
|
|
|
* ``192.0.2.0/24``
|
|
* ``198.51.100.0/24``

* ``203.0.113.0/24``
|
|
* ``2001:db8::/32``
|
|
* 16bit ASN: ``64496 - 64511``
|
|
* 32bit ASN: ``65536 - 65551``
|
|
* Unicast MAC Addresses: ``00-53-00`` to ``00-53-FF``
|
|
* Multicast MAC-Addresses: ``90-10-00`` to ``90-10-FF``
|
|
|
|
Please don't use other public address space.

Custom Sphinx-doc Markup
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
When writing the documentation custom commands have been developed. Please
|
|
make yourself comfortable with those commands as this eases the way we
|
|
render the documentation.
|
|
|
|
cfgcmd
|
|
""""""
|
|
|
|
When documenting CLI commands use the ``.. cfgcmd::`` directive for all
|
|
configuration mode commands. An explanation of the described command should be
|
|
added below this statement.
|
|
|
|
With those custom commands it will be possible to render them in a more
|
|
descriptive way in the resulting HTML/PDF manual.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
.. cfgcmd:: set protocols static arp 192.0.2.100 hwaddr 00:53:27:de:23:aa
|
|
|
|
This will configure a static ARP entry always resolving `192.0.2.100` to
|
|
`00:53:27:de:23:aa`.
|
|
|
|
For a inline configuration level command use ``:cfgcmd:``
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
:cfgcmd:`set interface ethernet eth0`
|
|
|
|
opcmd
|
|
"""""
|
|
|
|
When documenting operational level command use the ``.. opcmd::`` directive.
|
|
An explanation of the described command should be added below this statement.
|
|
|
|
With those custom commands it will be possible to render them in a more
|
|
descriptive way in the resulting HTML/PDF manual.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
.. opcmd:: show protocols static arp
|
|
|
|
Display all known ARP table entries spanning across all interfaces
|
|
|
|
For a inline operational level command use ``:opcmd:``
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
:opcmd:`add system image`
|
|
|
|
vytask
|
|
""""""
|
|
|
|
When referencing to VyOS Phabricator Tasks, there is a custom Sphinx Markup
|
|
command called ``vytask`` which automatically renders to a proper Phabricator
|
|
URL. This is heavily used in the :ref:`release-notes` section.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
* :vytask:`T1605` Fixed regression in L2TP/IPsec server
|
|
* :vytask:`T1613` Netflow/sFlow captures IPv6 traffic correctly
