OpenStack Training Guides

This repository contains open source training manuals that can be used to learn about the OpenStack project.

For more details, see the OpenStack Training Guides wiki page.

It includes these guides:

  • Associate Guide
  • Operator Guide
  • Developer Guide

Prerequisites

Apache Maven must be installed to build the documentation.

To install Maven 3 for Ubuntu 12.04 and later, and Debian wheezy and later:

apt-get install maven

On Fedora 20 and later:

yum install maven

Building

The different guides are in subdirectories of the doc/ directory.

To build the guides, look for a pom.xml file within a subdirectory, then run the mvn command in that directory. For example:

cd doc/training-guides/
mvn clean generate-sources

The generated PDF documentation file is:

doc/training-guides/target/docbkx/webhelp/training-guides/training-guides.pdf

The root of the generated HTML documentation is:

doc/training-guides/target/docbkx/webhelp/training-guides/content/index.html

Testing of changes and building of the manual

Install the python tox package and run tox from the top-level directory to use the same tests that are done as part of our Jenkins gating jobs.

If you like to run individual tests, run:

  • tox -e checkniceness - to run the niceness tests
  • tox -e checksyntax - to run syntax checks
  • tox -e checkdeletions - to check that no deleted files are referenced
  • tox -e checkbuild - to actually build the manual

tox will use the openstack-doc-tools package for execution of these tests.
