This repo contains the source code of the k6 documentation.
For small changes and spelling fixes, we recommend using the GitHub UI because the markdown files are relatively easy to edit.
For larger contributions, consider running the project locally to see how the changes look like before making a pull request.
Markdown files for the documentation are located in src/data/markdown/docs
folder. The URL structure is generated based on the folder structure and file names.
The markdown files support a few custom extensions explained on the File Format Guide.
This uses docker-compose
and port 8100
.
git clone git@github.com:grafana/k6-docs.git
cd k6-docs
cp .env.example .env.development
docker-compose up -d --build
Note that starting up the Docker takes several minutes, during which the
website will not be accessible. Use docker-compose logs -f web
to track
progress.
Then visit http://localhost:8100
If you want to re-run the
--build
command, you may get an error about not having access to delete acache/
folder. Usesudo
to delete this manually before retrying.
If you prefer not to use Docker, you can install the project locally. Node 12.x is required.
git clone git@github.com:grafana/k6-docs.git
cd k6-docs
# nvm use 12.0.0
npm install # or yarn install
Running manually:
npm start # or yarn start
Visit http://localhost:8000
