techdocs-container

This is the Docker container that powers the creation of static documentation sites that are supported by TechDocs.

Getting Started

Using the TechDocs CLI, we can invoke the latest version of techdocs-container via Docker Hub:

npx techdocs-cli serve

Local Development

docker build . -t mkdocs:local-dev

docker run -w /content -v $(pwd)/mock-docs:/content -p 8000:8000 -it mkdocs:local-dev serve -a 0.0.0.0:8000

Then open up http://localhost:8000 on your local machine.

Publishing

This container is published on DockerHub - https://hub.docker.com/r/spotify/techdocs

The publishing is configured by Automated Builds feature on Docker Hub which is triggered from GitHub (on new commits and releases). @spotify/techdocs-core team has access to the settings.

The latest tag on Docker Hub points to the recent commits in the master branch. The version tags (e.g. v0.1.1-alpha.24) point to the GitHub tags created from releases of this GitHub repository.

Note: We recommend using a specific version of the container instead of latest release for stability and avoiding unexpected changes.
