Building From Source

Building ownCloud Web

Run pnpm install to install dependencies
Run pnpm build to build Web and all apps included in the packages folder

Updating Dependencies

Do not update dependencies by yourself but use the provided ones by the repo. When rebasing your local clone, you can always run pnpm install to be in sync with the defined dependencies.

Building the Documentation

Note that the documentation is located in the docs/ folder.

Note that you should always rebase your working branch if it is based on an older master. This ensures that any relevant documentation build changes have been applied and will not affect the building process.

Prerequisites

Docker must be installed on your computer.

Run a Docs Build

Run make docs from the root of the local web clone.

Viewing the Documentation

Run make docs-serve to start a mini webserver for the rendered docs.
Open with a browser http://localhost:1313/
When making changes to the docs, start with a docs build as described above.

Deploying the documentation

The documentation is automatically deployed from the master branch to https://owncloud.dev/clients/web/

Building Information

During the building process, the documentation requests that the owncloud.github.io repo be cloned locally into the docs/ folder. This repository contains all the necessary files and processes to build and serve the documentation.
