OCDS Documentation#

This page serves as an orientation to how different components of the OCDS documentation relate to each other.

Servers#

The docs target serves OCDS documentation (e.g. 1.1), its profiles (e.g. Public Private Partnerships) and draft documentation (below). It also serves Elasticsearch.

Version and language switchers#

The version switcher links to a /switcher URL path with a branch URL parameter. The language switcher links to a /{version}/switcher URL path with a lang URL parameter. These are redirected by Apache (you can search for /switcher in its config files).

Search engine#

The search.js file in the standard_theme repository queries Elasticsearch indices.

The documentation deploy script in this repository updates Elasticsearch indices.

Continuous deployment#

The repositories for OCDS documentation use continuous integration to push builds to the staging directory on the server and to update Elasticsearch indices:

Each branch of the standard repository is automatically built to:
```
https://standard.open-contracting.org/staging/{branch}/en/
```

Each branch of a profile’s repository is automatically built to:

https://standard.open-contracting.org/staging/profiles/{root}/{branch}/en/

In detail, continuous integration runs deploy-docs.sh in this repository. For this script to succeed, continuous integration must be configured to have access to the server using SSH and to Elasticsearch using basic authentication.
