This is the official, edited and reviewed documentation for the Open Build Service (OBS).

The documentation is currently split into these books:

For more ideas and TODOs, see the Trello board at https://trello.com/b/DxiucSKw/obs-documentation

Building the books

To build those documents you need to install openSUSEs DocBook Authoring and Publishing Suite (daps).

After editing the document validate your changes via the following commands, for example:

$ daps -d DC-obs-beginners-guide validate

Similar for other guides. HTML documentation can get generated via

$ daps -d DC-obs-beginners-guide html

Development Environment

We are also shipping a docker/docker-compose based development environment you can use.

1. Since we mount the repository into our container we need to map your local user id to the one of the container user:

   sed "s/REPLACE_THIS_WITH_YOUR_ID/`id -u`/" docker-compose.override.yml.example > docker-compose.override.yml

2. Then you can build the development environment with:

   docker-compose build

3. And after it's build you can run any command in it via:

   docker-compose run --rm obs-docu daps -vv -d DC-obs-all html
