API-Site repository

This repository contains documentation for the OpenStack project.

For details, see the OpenStack Documentation wiki page, which includes these pages and PDFs:

  • API Quick Start
  • API Guide (in progress)

In addition to these documents, this repository contains:

  • Landing page for developer.openstack.org: www
  • Writing your first OpenStack application tutorial (in progress): firstapp

The files in the api-ref directory cannot be changed because they are moving to project repositories.

To complete code reviews in this repository, use the standard OpenStack Gerrit workflow . For details, see Gerrit Workflow.

Prerequisites

To build the documentation locally, you must install Python and Python Tox.

To install Tox for Ubuntu 14.04 or later:

apt-get install python-tox python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev

To build all the documentation after installing Python and Tox:

tox -e docs

To build an individual document, such as the API Quick Start:

tox -e api-quick-start

The locally-built output files are found in a publish-docs directory.

"Writing your First OpenStack Application" tutorial

To build the "Writing your first OpenStack application" tutorial, you must install Graphviz.

To install Graphviz for Ubuntu 12.04 or later or Debian 7 ("wheezy") or later:

apt-get install graphviz

On Fedora 22 and later:

dnf install graphviz

On openSUSE:

zypper install graphviz

On Mac OSX with Homebrew installed:

brew install graphviz

Build and update API docs

Refer to the OpenStack Documentation Contributor Guide <http://docs.openstack.org/contributor-guide/api-guides.html> for more information.

Run tests

To use the same tests that are used as part of our Jenkins gating jobs, install the Python tox package and run tox from the top-level directory.

To run individual tests:

  • tox -e checkniceness - Niceness tests
  • tox -e checksyntax - Syntax checks
  • tox -e checkdeletions - Verifies that no deleted files are referenced
  • tox -e checkbuild - Builds all of the documents in this repository

To run these tests, the Tox package uses the OpenStack doc tools package.
