This repository contains the Strimzi website.
Ruby and Rubygems are needed in order to build the web site.
Install bundler
gem install bundler
In order to build and serve the web site locally, run :
bundle install
bundle exec jekyll serve
When running, the website is accessible at localhost:4000.
To avoid needing to install Ruby, you can build and run the web site locally inside a container. Run the following command:
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/srv/jekyll -p 4000:4000 -it jekyll/jekyll jekyll serve
The build can take several minutes to complete. When it's done, you'll see the message "Server running...".
Note: If you see the error require': cannot load such file -- webrick (LoadError), add the following to the Gemfile:
gem "webrick"
If you make this change, be sure not to check it in.
We try to use the following process for blog posts:
-
You should start by asking us whether your proposed subject is a good fit for the strimzi.io blog. The aim of this step is to prevent you wasting your time writing a post which isn't going to interest Strimzi users. If your proposal is not perfect from the off, we might suggest ways to make it more relevent to our audience. Even if we don't think it will be relevant we might be able to recommend a better site for your proposed content.
-
You write your post and open a PR. To start a new blog post, just create a new file in the
_postssubdirectory and name it<date>-<title>.md. For the date, you can use the current date (after your blog post is reviewed and approved, we will change it to the actual publishing date when merging the PR). See this blog post for a detailed overview of the mechanics of writing a blog post. -
We'll do a content review, checking for technical accuracy, logical structure etc. Sometimes this can be an iterative process, but we'll try not to keep you waiting.
-
Once the content is good we'll do a final review pass focussing on things like spelling and grammar. Don't worry if you're not a native English speaker; our main intent here isn't necessarily perfect English, but to ensure the content is easily understood.
Strimzi quick starts provide instructions for evaluating Strimzi using Minikube, Kubernetes kind or Docker Desktop.
The source markdown files for the quick starts are maintained in the quickstarts and /_includes/quickstarts folders.
If you spot something that needs updating or changing in the quick starts, you can open an issue or open a PR and contribute directly.
For more information on contributing to the Strimzi documentation, see the Strimzi Documentation Contributor Guide.
You can contribute by:

All bugs, tasks or enhancements are tracked as GitHub issues. Issues which might be a good start for new contributors are marked with the "good-start" label.
The Development Guide for Strimzi describes how to build Strimzi and how to test your changes before submitting a patch or opening a PR.
