Next steps for docs...

14 Day Priority (July 5th)

  • Reshuffling docs to break apart Provisioner/Template sections - Kevin
  • Instructions on how to move config (add one flag to json, then how to move ca.json to db) - Max

Structural changes to accommodate CM

  • Discuss & align on docs structure
  • How do we not reinvent the wheel given that a lot of features are documented in open source?
    • Link to open source docs, or duplicate / import them into CM docs?
    • Split out sections of open source docs into their own pages for easier reference:
      • Provisioners
      • Templates
      • Renewal
      • Revocation
      • Cryptographic Protection (eg hsms)
      • RA Mode
      • High Availability
      • Proxying & Load Balancing step-ca
  • Start a Knowledge Base section in Notion for CM (questions like: How do I bring my own root?)

Document features open source doesn't have

  • Webhooks & events -- inline documentation in the UI?
  • Configuration guide? ??? (do we need docs for the config UI?)
  • Supported systems / requirements (same as SSH product)
  • Linked CA HOWTO — advanced flow — for Hunter / KCF

Document new features in both open source and CM

  • document cli docs for -h output
  • remote template management

Blocked

  • Document CLI admin functionality (add/remove/update admin as a superadmin) - Kevin
  • RA flow — part of "ACME for CM" docs — ask Eng how this will work?
  • remote provisioner management (blocked - waiting for v1)
  • update blog post for provisioner changes
