docat-upload

Tool for uploading HTML documentation to a docat server, as an alternative to docatl.

• Git repository: https://github.com/palto42/docat-upload/
• Documentation https://palto42.github.io/docat-upload/

The tool packages a specified folder with HTML documentation content (e.g. created with mkdocs) and uploads it to the specified docat server.

Extra features:

• For Python documentation the script can extract the document version from the Python module with the same name as project.
• Limit the number of published version with -max-versions
  • The script will automatically delete older versions if the number of versions is exceeded
• Specify custom SSL certificate path if an in-house CA is used.
• Support insecure SSL for use with self signed certificates
