This repository contains the "Launch Pad": a starter kit for building your own wiki-like knowledgebase intended to jump start your Observability Centre of Excellence.

The wiki skeleton consists of a number of markdown pages that cover many areas of the knowledge base from account information to quick start reference guides. Customise the content to suit your needs.

The Launch Pad is rendered from static markdown files using docsify. This automatically renders the markdown nicely into a website.

The wiki is marked up using markdown. Clone it and customise to your needs. You will find a number of TODO sections where you need to add your own information. Search for all of these and add your own content.

The content can be imported to a tool of your choice or hosted directly as a static html site. Should you be using GitHub Enterprise you could host it directly on GitHub using GitHub pages as in the example above. Please understand that GitHub pages are public though so ensure you site is secure and do not host on public GitHub pages.

To develop and view the rendered site locally install docsify globally:

npm i docsify-cli -g

Start the server by running:

npm start

You should now be able to browse the site at localhost:3000

The documentation can be hosted on github pages or by any simple http server. To use the pre-built Docker container that hosts the site with pm2 do the following:

To build the image:

docker build -t launchpad .

To run the image on port 8080:

docker run -p8080:8080 launchpad

View the site at http://localhost:8080

New Relic hosts and moderates an online forum where customers can interact with New Relic employees as well as other customers to get help and share best practices. Support for the Launch Pad is available from the project maintainers via the GitHub issues feature.
