Description

Motivation

We have a proof-of-concept of a redundant/load-balancing webui deployment based on docker-compose. To make that more visible we should cover it in documentation so that it shows up in https://open.qa/docs

PR: https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/3819

As a first step I only did the improvements mentioned in the commit message. However, I have to note that the documentation is actually horrible to follow. Two different setups (Fedora and docker-compose) are explained in an interleaved way. It would make much more sense to use distinct sections. The documentation also uses way too many cross-references of the kind "do not follow instructions of that other section" or "follow instructions of that other section except for".

PR merged. Additional to the AC I suggest to crosscheck with "example users" if the new documentation structure is sufficient.

The documentation is now available under http://open.qa/docs/#containerizedsetup.

Additional to the AC I suggest to crosscheck with "example users" if the new documentation structure is sufficient.

I have already mentioned that I don't like the way the documentation is structured. At least the Fedora container and the docker-compose setup should be separated from each other. However, I'm not sure whether it makes much sense to improve it at this point.

It should be good enough for now. I've been following the instructions myself and was able to create a basic docker-compose setup. The documentation should of course be further extended as we improve the docker-compose setup itself.
