Infrastructure for deployments

This repository contains deployment infrastructure and documentation for a federation of JupyterHubs that 2i2c manages for various communities.

See the infrastructure documentation for more information.

Building the documentation

The documentation is built with the MyST Document Engine. Configuration lives in docs/myst.yml and the table of contents in docs/toc.yml.

Automatically with nox

The easiest way to build the documentation in this repository is to use the nox automation tool, a tool for quickly building environments and running commands within them. This ensures that your environment has all the dependencies needed to build the documentation.

To do so, follow these steps:

1. Install nox

$ pip install nox

1. Build the documentation:

$ nox -s docs

This should create a local environment in a .nox folder, build the documentation (as specified in the noxfile.py configuration), and the output will be in docs/_build/html.

To start a live server that updates when you change local files:

$ nox -s docs:live

Manually

If you wish to build the documentation yourself, install the Python dependencies (MyST installs its own Node.js), then run it from the docs/ folder:

pip install -r docs/requirements.txt
cd docs
python -m helper_programs.hub_info_table  # generates the hub tables
myst start                                # or myst build --html

This is the same set of steps that Read the Docs runs (see .readthedocs.yaml).
