The openvidu.io documentation is generated with MkDocs.

You can edit any page or add a new one with a simple text using the Markdown format.

How to add a new page

• Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/OpenVidu/openvidu.io-docs

• Go to repository and open /docs folder.
• Create a new Markdown file (.md) into an existent folder. You can create a new document category creating a new folder. The folder name will be category name.
• Edit that file and add content in Markdown format.
• If you want to preview the changes locally, you can execute the following command in the root folder of the repository (you need Docker installed) and open the browser in http://localhost:8000:

docker run -it --rm -v `pwd`:/docs -p 8000:8000 coding2012/mkdocs serve -a 0.0.0.0:8000

• In order to preview the complete openvidu.io web with the docs integrated:

  • Clone the repo https://github.com/OpenVidu/openvidu.io in the same path as openvidu.io-docs and serve it with Docker:

   git clone https://github.com/OpenVidu/openvidu.io
   cd openvidu.io
   docker run --rm --volume=$PWD:/srv/jekyll -p 4000:4000 -it jekyll/jekyll:3.4.3 jekyll serve 
  

  (Run fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf && sudo sysctl -p to increase the number of files that can be monitored if any problem appears when running this docker container)

  • Run openvidu.io-docs/generate-dev.sh script, which will build Mkdocs files and will put them in openvidu.io/docs folder (this is why we need openvidu.io and openvidu.io-docs repos at the same path). You will need mkdocs:

   sudo apt-get install python-pip
   sudo pip install mkdocs==0.16.3
  

  (Append --user to the pip command if any problem with permissions)

  • Visit http://localhost:4000 in order to preview openvidu.io web with your new documentation integrated. Whenever you update a file in openvidu.io-docs/docs folder, you can relaunch generate-dev.sh script to update openvidu.io web served by Jekyll's Docker container, listening in localhost:4000)
