We're deploying backstage to GKE and have had issues getting techdocs volume mount logic to work because of mixing paths between the host and the container running the backend. So we added a condition where if mkdocs is found in the backend container it will use that to generate the docs rather than spinning it up in a docker container.
Backstage
What is Backstage?
Backstage is an open platform for building developer portals. Powered by a centralized service catalog, Backstage restores order to your microservices and infrastructure. So your product teams can ship high-quality code quickly — without compromising autonomy.
Backstage unifies all your infrastructure tooling, services, and documentation to create a streamlined development environment from end to end.
Out of the box, Backstage includes:
- Backstage Service Catalog for managing all your software (microservices, libraries, data pipelines, websites, ML models, etc.)
- Backstage Software Templates for quickly spinning up new projects and standardizing your tooling with your organization’s best practices
- Backstage TechDocs for making it easy to create, maintain, find, and use technical documentation, using a "docs like code" approach
- Plus, a growing ecosystem of open source plugins that further expand Backstage’s customizability and functionality
For more information go to backstage.io or join our Discord chatroom.
