Introduction

CKAN ² is a powerful open-source data management system that makes it easy to publish, share, and use data. This repository aims to provide detailed documentation to facilitate CKAN deployments in different environments.

Deployment Methods

This section covers various methods for deploying CKAN:

• Source Code: Deploying CKAN from source code (RHEL, Debian, CentOS, SLES) using Ansible.
• Docker: Deployment of CKAN using Docker containers via Docker Compose.
• Kubernetes: Deploying CKAN on Kubernetes clusters.

API information

Here you can find complete documentation for the CKAN API, including endpoints, parameters and examples of use with Swagger ³.

Doc deployment

This documentation is deployed using GitHub Pages. To deploy the documentation locally run the following commands:

# To preview your changes as you edit the files, you can run a local development server that will serve your website and reflect the latest changes.
npm install
npm run start


#To build the website:
npm run build


# It is important to test your build locally before deploying it for production. Docusaurus provides a docusaurus serve command for that:
npm run serve

Start your site

Run the development server:

cd my-website
npm run start

Tip

The cd command changes the directory you're working with. In order to work with your newly created Docusaurus site, you'll need to navigate the terminal there.

The npm run start command builds your website locally and serves it through a development server, ready for you to view at http://localhost:3000/. npm run start -- --locale es to test the Spanish locale.

Open docs/intro.md and edit some lines: the site reloads automatically and displays your changes.

Translations

1. Configure your site and add the navbar item of type localeDropdown so that users can select the locale they want :

const config: Config = {
  title: 'CKAN Docs',
  tagline: 'Deployments and more!',
  favicon: 'img/favicon.ico',

  ...

    // Even if you don't use internationalization, you can use this field to set
  // useful metadata like html lang. For example, if your site is Chinese, you
  // may want to replace "en" with "zh-Hans".
  i18n: {
    defaultLocale: 'en',
    locales: ['en', 'fr', 'fa'],
    localeConfigs: {
      en: {
        htmlLang: 'en-GB',
      },
      // You can omit a locale (e.g. fr) if you don't need to override the defaults
      fa: {
        direction: 'rtl',
      },
    },
  },

  ...

  themeConfig: {
    navbar: {
      items: [
        {
          type: 'localeDropdown',
          position: 'left',
        },
      ],
    },
  },
};

2. Run the write-translations command:

   npm run write-translations -- --locale fr

It will extract and initialize the JSON translation files that you need to translate. The code.json file at the root includes all translation API calls extracted from the source code, which could either be written by you or provided by the themes, some of which may already be translated by default.

3. Copy your docs Markdown files from docs/ to i18n/fr/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current, and translate them:

mkdir -p i18n/fr/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current
cp -r docs/** i18n/fr/docusaurus-plugin-content-docs/current

3. Translate the mdx files.
