The `/docs` folder contains the Infection Monkey Documentation site.
|
|
|
|
The site is based on [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) and the [learn](https://themes.gohugo.io/theme/hugo-theme-learn/en) theme.
|
|
The Hugo version being used is 0.92.0.

## Directory structure
|
|
|
|
By order of importance:
|
|
|
|
### Content
|
|
|
|
The most important directory is `/content`. This is the directory which contains the content files. [Read this to understand how pages are organized in that folder](https://themes.gohugo.io//theme/hugo-theme-learn/en/cont/pages/).
|
|
|
|
### Static
|
|
|
|
In this directory you should place images, `css` files, `js` files and other static content the site should serve. To access that static content in a page, use something similar to this:
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Config
|
|
|
|
This folder controls many of the parameters regarding the site generation.
|
|
|
|
### Themes
|
|
|
|
This is the theme we're using. It's a submodule (to get it you need to run `git submodule update`). It's our own fork of the [learn](https://themes.gohugo.io/hugo-theme-learn/) theme. If you want to make changes to the theme itself, or pull updates from the upstream, you'll do it here.
|
|
|
|
### Layouts and archtypes
|
|
|
|
This directory includes custom [HTML partials](https://gohugo.io/templates/partials/), custom [shortcodes](https://gohugo.io/content-management/shortcodes/) and content templates. It's best not to mess with the existing stuff here too much, but rather add new things.
|
|
|
|
### Public and resources
|
|
|
|
These are the build output of `hugo` and should never be `commit`-ed to git.
|
|
|
|
## How to contribute
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
You'll have to [install `hugo`](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/), a text editor that's good for markdown (`vscode` and `vim` are good options) and `git`.
|
|
|
|
Note: Installing `hugo` via `apt` is not recommended because Hugo is usually few [versions behind](https://github.com/wowchemy/wowchemy-hugo-modules/issues/703) the latest for Debian and Ubuntu package managers. Refer to latest [releases](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/releases) of Hugo.
|
|
|
|
### Adding and editing content
|
|
|
|
#### Add a new page
|
|
|
|
Run `hugo new folder/page.md`. Optionally add `--kind chapter` if creating a new chapter page. For example, `hugo new usage/getting-started.md` created the Getting Started page.
|
|
|
|
#### Editing an existing page
|
|
|
|
Edit the markdown file(s). [Here's a markdown cheatsheet](https://themes.gohugo.io//theme/hugo-theme-learn/en/cont/markdown/). If you want to add images, add them to the `static/images` folder and refer to them by name.
|
|
|
|
### Building the content
|
|
|
|
#### Serve the documentation locally
|
|
|
|
Run `hugo server -D`. The server will be available locally at `http://localhost:1313/`. You can change the content/theme and the site will refresh automatically to reflect your changes.
|
|
|
|
#### Build the content for deployment
|
|
|
|
Run `hugo --environment staging` or `hugo --environment production`. This will create a static site in the `public` directory. This directory should be ignored by `git` - **make sure you don't add and commit it by mistake!**
|
|
|
|
#### Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
##### `Error: Unable to locate config file or config directory. Perhaps you need to create a new site.`
|
|
|
|
Did you confirm your working directory? It should be `monkey/docs`.
|
|
|
|
##### `failed to extract shortcode: template for shortcode "children" not found` or theme doesn't seem right?
|
|
|
|
Have you run `git submodule update`?
|
|
|
|
##### CSS is missing
|
|
|
|
- Make sure that you're accessing the correct URL.
|
|
- Check the `config.toml` file.
