# Deployment Guide
This documentation is automatically deployed to GitHub Pages using GitHub Actions. Here's how it works and how to manage deployments.
## Automatic Deployment
The documentation is automatically deployed when changes are pushed to the `main` or `master` branch. The deployment process:
1. Triggers on push to main/master
2. Sets up Python environment
3. Installs required dependencies
4. Builds the documentation
5. Deploys to the `gh-pages` branch
### GitHub Actions Workflow
The deployment is handled by the workflow in `.github/workflows/deploy-docs.yml`. This is the single source of truth for documentation deployment:
```yaml
name: Deploy MkDocs
on:
push:
branches:
- main
- master
workflow_dispatch: # Allow manual trigger
```
## Manual Deployment
If needed, you can deploy manually using:
```bash
# Create a virtual environment
python -m venv venv
# Activate the virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate
# Install dependencies
pip install -r docs/requirements.txt
# Build the documentation
mkdocs build
# Deploy to GitHub Pages
mkdocs gh-deploy --force
```
## Best Practices
### 1. Documentation Updates
- Test locally before pushing: `mkdocs serve`
- Verify all links work
- Ensure images are optimized
- Check mobile responsiveness
### 2. Version Control
- Keep documentation in sync with code versions
- Use meaningful commit messages
- Tag important documentation versions
### 3. Content Guidelines
- Use consistent formatting
- Keep navigation structure logical
- Include examples where appropriate
- Maintain up-to-date screenshots
### 4. Maintenance
- Regularly review and update content
- Check for broken links
- Update dependencies
- Monitor GitHub Actions logs
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Failed Deployments**
- Check GitHub Actions logs
- Verify dependencies are up to date
- Ensure all required files exist
2. **Broken Links**
- Run `mkdocs build --strict`
- Use relative paths in markdown
- Check case sensitivity
3. **Style Issues**
- Verify theme configuration
- Check CSS customizations
- Test on multiple browsers
## Configuration Files
### requirements.txt
Create a requirements file for documentation dependencies:
```txt
mkdocs-material
mkdocs-minify-plugin
mkdocs-git-revision-date-plugin
mkdocs-mkdocstrings
mkdocs-social-plugin
mkdocs-redirects
```
## Monitoring
- Check [GitHub Pages settings](https://github.com/jango-blockchained/advanced-homeassistant-mcp/settings/pages)
- Monitor build status in Actions tab
- Verify site accessibility
## Workflow Features
### Caching
The workflow implements caching for Python dependencies to speed up deployments:
- Pip cache for Python packages
- MkDocs dependencies cache
### Deployment Checks
Several checks are performed during deployment:
1. Link validation with `mkdocs build --strict`
2. Build verification
3. Post-deployment site accessibility check
### Manual Triggers
You can manually trigger deployments using the "workflow_dispatch" event in GitHub Actions.
## Cleanup
To clean up duplicate workflow files, run:
```bash
# Make the script executable
chmod +x scripts/cleanup-workflows.sh
# Run the cleanup script
./scripts/cleanup-workflows.sh
```
