Awesome
Jaeger website
This repo houses all the assets used to build the Jaeger website, available at https://jaegertracing.io.
The site is built with Hugo and hosted by Netlify.
Setup
Install the "extended" Hugo binary from hugo/releases (use one of the hugo_extended_* binaries) or
use a package manager if it is available for your operating system.
The "extended" version of Hugo supports Sass, which is necessary to build the site locally.
The currently used version of Hugo is defined in the netlify.toml configuration file.
Running the site locally
If you want to develop the site locally, you can run a single command (assuming that you've run the setup):
$ make develop
This will start up a local server on localhost port 1313. When you make changes to either the content of the website (in content) or to the Sass and JavaScript assets of the page (in themes/jaeger-docs/assets), the browser will automatically update to reflect those changes (usually in under one second).
Publishing the site
The site is published automatically by Netlify whenever changes are merged to the main branch. The site cannot be published in an ad-hoc way (e.g. through a make command or script in the repo).
Contributing to the site
We strongly encourage you to contribute to this site! For more information, see the contributing guide.
Diagrams
Diagrams included in the documentation are created in the shared Google Slides document, which supports export to SVG. If you need to make changes to the diagrams as part of a PR, please copy the diagram into a new slide deck and include a shared link to it in the PR along with the exported SVG file. The maintainers will update the main deck with the new version upon merging the PR.
Publishing new Jaeger version
Please refer to RELEASE.md for instructions on how to release new version of documentation.
Admonitions
There are five admonition types available for the Jaeger docs:
| Admonition type | Color |
|---|---|
info | blue |
success | green |
danger | red |
warning | yellow |
requirement | purple |
Here's an example:
{{< danger >}}
We do not recommend that you do this!
{{< /danger >}}
You can also add titles:
{{< success title="New feature" >}}
Jaeger now supports a new thing that you definitely want.
{{< /success >}}
Link checking
You can check internal links by running make check-internal-links and all links, including external links, by running make check-all-links.
Adding new pages and redirects
When new pages are added to the documentation, please add a corresponding entry to themes/jaeger-docs/layouts/index.redirects.
