The Okteto Documentation

This repository is the source for https://okteto.com/docs. If you'd like to contribute to the documentation, please first check out our contributing guide for info on how to get started.

Development

💻 Develop locally

You'll need to install node 20+ and yarn 1.22+ locally in order to be able to build the doc site locally.

Clone the repo and then run:

yarn
yarn start

However, it is possible to build the website locally using okteto itself without any need to install required dependencies and specific version of build tool.

💻 Develop locally (using Okteto)

You can launch a remote Development Environment with Okteto on any Kubernetes cluster with the Okteto CLI.

In order to configure Okteto CLI to use Okteto, run the following command at the root (replace the URL with your Okteto instance):
```
okteto context use https://okteto.example.com
```
Note: If you'd like to use any Kubernetes cluster with Okteto CLI, run the okteto context command and select the context you'd like to go with using arrows key
Once the context is setup, run the okteto up command. This will make sure the required docker images are built by Okteto CLI.
Once the development environment is built, go to your Okteto and preview your changes. As soon as you hit the save, the changes will be reflected in Okteto as it'd look like in production.

Create a new version of the Docs

A new version of the docs is created once the documentation for a certain version is "finished". This is typically done in preparation of a new release.

Update Variables

Review the content of src/content/variables.json and update the values of cliVersion and chartVersion.

If the release comes with a new or a removed Kubernetes version, update kubernetesMinVersion and kubernetesMaxVersion accordingly.

Create a new version

To create a new version, run the following commands:

yarn run docusaurus docs:version 1.XX

This will create a new version with the docs on your current branch.

Change the default version

The default version of the docs is created and published once a new version of Okteto is available. This is typically done as part of the release process of Okteto Self-Hosted.

Modify the presets.docs.versions section of docusaurus.config.js as follows:

Update lastVersion to the new official version
Update current to unreleased version in development

Update the values of the path of the previous official version in the versions subsection to match the version number.

Before

    "1.4": {
        label: "1.4",
        path: "/",
        banner: "none",
    },

After

    "1.4": {
        label: "1.4",
        path: "1.4",
        banner: "none",
    },

Add a new entry in the versions subsection to match the new official version, with / as the path.
```
    "1.5": {
        label: "1.5",
        path: "/",
        banner: "none",
    },
```

Modify the redirection rules on netlify.toml so that /docs/<OFFICIAL_VERSION>/ redirects to /docs and /docs/unreleased/ redirects to /docs/<CURRENT_VERSION>

# Redirect official version to docs root
[[redirects]]
  from = "/docs/1.5/*"
  to = "/docs/:splat"
  status = 301

# Redirect unreleased to "current" version
[[redirects]]
  from = "/docs/unreleased/*"
  to = "/docs/1.6/:splat"
  status = 302

Update /src/pages/archives.md with the new latest version

okteto#314 is a good example of how to set up the files

Request a new search index

Once the new version is live in production, you need to request a new search index to Algolia.

Log in Algolia
On the crawlers’ page, select "Okteto"
Click on "Restart crawling"

It should take a few minutes and the search index will be completed.

Components

Product tiers list

Sometimes, documentation is specific to a product tier. You can add a badge beside headings using the TiersList component.

Usage

Tiers is a string of tier separated by a space
