[wildfly-dev] Re: Improvement to WildFly documentation website

Hi, With WildFly 24 almost out, now might be a good time to revisit our community documentation at https://docs.wildfly.org. We are lacking a Cloud-oriented guide that describes how to build and deploy WildFly applications on Kubernetes. We have a whole ecosystem around this (operator, helm charts, S2I images, Bootable Jar + JKube) but the documentation is spread around all these smaller projects and we don’t have something that gives the high-level picture. I would like to provide a “Getting Started on the Cloud” guide to fill that gap. However I’m not sure where we could write this guide. I don’t think it belongs to https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/tree/master/docs. So another related thing I would like is to evaluate using https://antora.org to manage our community documentation at https://docs.wildfly.org.

This documentation site generator is able to aggregate documentation across multiple repositories and provide versioned documentation. It is used by Smallrye for their docs: https://smallrye.io/docs/index/index/index.html As you can see each individual projects maintains its documentation but they are all aggregated in a single place. There is also the ability to access different version of the documentation: https://smallrye.io/docs/smallrye-metrics/3.0.0/index.html https://smallrye.io/docs/smallrye-metrics/2.4.0/index.html I’m envisioning to restructure our community documentation with something like: docs.wildfly.org (generated by Antora)> | +- WildFly (from https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly docs) | +- Galleon (from https://github.com/wildfly/galleon) | +- Bootable Jar (from https://github.com/wildfly-extras/wildfly-jar-maven-plugin) | +- WildFly on the Cloud | | | +- Getting started Guide (from I don’t know where) | | | +- WildFly S2I (from https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-s2i | | | +- WildFly Operator (from https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-operator) | | | +- Helm Chart for WildFly (from https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly-charts) | +- Other WildFly-related documentation/guide (e.g Elytron, Clustering) The advantage of that approach is that each project manages its doc individually and do not have to a kind of Big Bang release when we deliver WildFly releases. We still have to provide some consistency though. We could also have a dedicated section for task-oriented guides: * Connect to Keycloak on Kubernetes * Clustering Guide for the Cloud * Integrated with Apache Kafka * ... It’s not clear to me how these guides relates to our quickstarts though… What do you think? Is this something worth investigating?
