Update RHEL/CentOS 7 to cover the versions that were previously covered by RHEL/CentOS 6. Since RHEL/CentOS 7/8 work the same update the documentation logic and labels to reflect this compatibility.

# pgBackRest <br/> Building Documentation
|
|
|
|
## General Builds
|
|
|
|
The pgBackRest documentation can output a variety of formats and target several platforms and PostgreSQL versions.
|
|
|
|
This will build all documentation with defaults:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./doc.pl
|
|
```
|
|
The user guide can be built for different platforms: `centos7`, `centos8` and `debian`. This will build the HTML user guide for CentOS/RHEL 7:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --var=os-type=centos7
|
|
```
|
|
Documentation generation will build a cache of all executed statements and use the cache to build the documentation quickly if no executed statements have changed. This makes proofing text-only edits very fast, but sometimes it is useful to do a full build without using the cache:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --var=os-type=centos8 --no-cache
|
|
```
|
|
Each `os-type` has a default container image that will be used as a base for creating hosts. For `centos7`/`centos8` these defaults are generally fine, but for `debian` it can be useful to change the image.
|
|
```bash
|
|
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --var=os-type=debian --var=os-image=debian:9
|
|
```
|
|
The following is a sample CentOS/RHEL 7 configuration that can be used for building the documentation.
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Install docker
|
|
sudo yum install -y yum-utils device-mapper-persistent-data lvm2
|
|
sudo yum-config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
|
|
sudo yum install -y docker-ce
|
|
sudo systemctl start docker
|
|
|
|
# Install tools
|
|
sudo yum install -y git wget
|
|
|
|
# Install latex (for building PDF)
|
|
sudo yum install -y texlive texlive-titlesec texlive-sectsty texlive-framed texlive-epstopdf ghostscript
|
|
|
|
# Install Perl modules that do not have CentOS packages via CPAN
|
|
sudo yum install -y yum cpanminus
|
|
sudo yum groupinstall -y "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"
|
|
sudo cpanm install --force XML::Checker::Parser
|
|
|
|
# Add documentation test user
|
|
sudo groupadd test
|
|
sudo adduser -gtest -n testdoc
|
|
sudo usermod -aG docker testdoc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Building with Packages
|
|
|
|
A user-specified package can be used when building the documentation. Since the documentation exercises most pgBackRest functionality this is a great way to smoke-test packages.
|
|
|
|
The package must be located within the pgBackRest repo and the specified path should be relative to the repository base. `test/package` is a good default path to use.
|
|
|
|
Ubuntu 16.04:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --no-cache --var=os-type=debian --var=os-image=ubuntu:16.04 --var=package=test/package/pgbackrest_2.08-0_amd64.deb
|
|
```
|
|
CentOS/RHEL 7:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --no-cache --var=os-type=centos7 --var=package=test/package/pgbackrest-2.08-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
|
|
```
|
|
CentOS/RHEL 8:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./doc.pl --out=html --include=user-guide --no-cache --var=os-type=centos8 --var=package=test/package/pgbackrest-2.08-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
|
|
```
|
|
Packages can be built with `test.pl` using the following configuration on top of the configuration given for building the documentation.
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Install recent git
|
|
sudo yum remove -y git
|
|
sudo yum install -y https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
|
|
sudo yum install -y git2u-all
|
|
|
|
# Install Perl modules
|
|
sudo yum install -y perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS perl-ExtUtils-Embed perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker perl-YAML-LibYAML
|
|
|
|
# Install dev libraries
|
|
sudo yum install -y libxml2-devel openssl-devel
|
|
|
|
# Add test user with sudo privileges
|
|
sudo adduser -gtest -n test
|
|
sudo usermod -aG docker test
|
|
sudo chmod 750 /home/test
|
|
|
|
sudo echo 'test ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL' > /etc/sudoers.d/pgbackrest
|
|
|
|
# Add pgbackrest user required by tests
|
|
sudo adduser -gtest -n pgbackrest
|
|
```
