User’s Guides

If you are interested in the rendered version of the User’s Guide, please read them at docs.linbit.com.

Tech Guides

You can download pdf versions for free from our home page.

Build dependencies

If you have docker, execute make dockerimage, which will generate a "linbit-documentation" base image containing all the dependencies for generating html and pdf outputs.

Otherwise you will need GNU make and you have to install the following dependencies:

HTML targets (UGs/tech-guides)

  • asciidoctor

  • inkscape

HTML targets (man pages)

  • mandoc

PDF targets

Fonts

We do not publish the official LINBIT fonts in that repository. Public projects have to be able to generated pdfs without LINBIT’s fonts, private ones are allowed to fail if the linbit-fonts directory does not exist. Actually they should fail, which is the default anyways.

If you build official pdfs/private projects, make sure you cloned the internal linbit-fonts repository.

Tech Guides

We do not publish the source of our tech guides, make sure you cloned the internal tech-guides repository.

Makefile interface/API for projects

Projects are organized in sub directories, for example the users guide for DRBD 9 is in UG9. The top level Makefile contains html and pdf targets for these (e.g., make UG9-pdf-finalize). The final output is generated in $project/$lang/output-$format-finalize (e.g. UG9/en/output-pdf-finalize).

Every project needs a proper Makefile that has the following targets:

  • pdf

  • pdf-finalize

  • html

  • html-finalize

If a project only generates pdf output, implement the html targets as empty.

pdf and html targets

These generate their output to output-$format. It is perfectly fine that these directories contain temporary files like symlinks. As already written, we want proper Makefiles, so if the source does not change re-executing these targets should only process files that changed.

pdf-finalize and html-finalize targets

These generate their output to output-$format-finalize. This is the final output. The one that is published to a web page/sent to a web developer. For example this generates tar-balls for UG9 that can be sent to someone who puts it on the web page.

It is usually the final target that is executed after multiple iterations of make pdf/make html and it is fine if that target alters the content of output-$format to generate output-$format-finalize. If possible it should not, but it is not a strict requirement.

Docker targets

The top-level Makefile also contains targets that end in "-docker". These can be used to generate the output with the previously describe "linbit-documentation" base image. For example one on execute make UG9-html-finalize-docker.

Internationalization

The English version is the default, but if you want to build the Japanese version, you have to set the make variable "lang" accordingly (e.g., make UG9-html-finalize-docker lang=ja). Japanese version is created by English adoc files and Japanese po files. Pot files used for localization can be created by the pot target, (e.g, `make UG9-pot-docker). Make sure created pot files include correct sentences.

Working on a public project

  • cd to the project (e.g, cd UG9)

  • modify sources accordingly

  • make pdf or make html

Output is generated in output-$format. These directories (in contrast to output-$format-finalze) can contain temporary files (symlinks, processed adoc files,…​). When you are satisfied, make $format-finalize, to generate the final output in output-$format-finalize.

Working on a private project

  • make sure you are at the top-level of the framework (linbit-documentation)

  • git clone the private project

  • follow Working on a public project

Style:

  • Read it, learn it, live it!

  • Hostnames: 'bob' ⇒ 'bob'

  • Commands: `rm -rf` ⇒ rm -rf

  • DRBD states: _Primary_ ⇒ Primary

  • Blocks: Add newline before and after of the block.

* Re-enable your DRBD resource:

# drbdadm up <resource>

* On one node, promote the DRBD resource:
