This page shows how to update the generated reference docs for the Kubernetes API.
The Kubernetes API reference documentation is built from the
[Kubernetes OpenAPI spec](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/api/openapi-spec/swagger.json)
and tools from [kubernetes-incubator/reference-docs](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/reference-docs).
If you find bugs in the generated documentation, you need to
[fix them upstream](/docs/contribute/generate-ref-docs/contribute-upstream/).
If you need only to regenerate the reference documentation from the [OpenAPI](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification)
spec, continue reading this page.

## The big picture
## Setting up the local repositories
The reference documentation for the Kubernetes API is generated in two separate stages:
1. Generate an OpenAPI spec from the Kubernetes source code. The tools for
this stage are at [kubernetes/kubernetes/hack](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/hack).
1. Generate an HTML file from the OpenAPI spec. The tools for this stage are at
[kubernetes-incubator/reference-docs](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/reference-docs).
If you find bugs in the generated documentation generated, you need to
[fix them upstream](/docs/contribute/generate-ref-docs/contribute-upstream/).
If you need only to regenerate the reference documentation from the OpenAPI
spec, continue reading this page.
## Getting three repositories
If you don't already have the kubernetes/kubernetes repository, get it now:
Create a local workspace and set your `GOPATH`.
```shell
mkdir $GOPATH/src
cd $GOPATH/src
go get github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes
mkdir -p $HOME/<workspace>
export GOPATH=$HOME/<workspace>
```
Determine the base directory of your clone of the
[kubernetes/kubernetes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes) repository.
For example, if you followed the preceding step to get the repository, your
base directory is `$GOPATH/src/github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes.`
The remaining steps refer to your base directory as `<k8s-base>`.
Get a local clone of the following repositories:
```shell
go get -u github.com/kubernetes-incubator/reference-docs
go get -u github.com/go-openapi/loads
go get -u github.com/go-openapi/spec
```
If you don't already have the kubernetes/website repository, get it now:
```shell
mkdir $GOPATH/src
cd $GOPATH/src
go get github.com/kubernetes/website
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/website $GOPATH/src/github.com/<your-username>/website
```
Determine the base directory of your clone of the
[kubernetes/website](https://github.com/kubernetes/website) repository.
For example, if you followed the preceding step to get the repository, your
base directory is `$GOPATH/src/github.com/kubernetes/website.`
The remaining steps refer to your base directory as `<web-base>`.
If you don't already have the kubernetes-incubator/reference-docs repository, get it now:
Get a clone of the kubernetes/kubernetes repository as k8s.io/kubernetes:
```shell
mkdir $GOPATH/src
cd $GOPATH/src
go get github.com/kubernetes-incubator/reference-docs
git clone https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kubernetes
```
Determine the base directory of your clone of the
[kubernetes-incubator/reference-docs](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/reference-docs) repository.
For example, if you followed the preceding step to get the repository, your
base directory is `$GOPATH/src/github.com/kubernetes-incubator/reference-docs.`
* The base directory of your clone of the
[kubernetes/kubernetes](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes) repository is
`$GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kubernetes.`
The remaining steps refer to your base directory as `<k8s-base>`.
* The base directory of your clone of the
[kubernetes/website](https://github.com/kubernetes/website) repository is
`$GOPATH/src/github.com/<your username>/website.`
The remaining steps refer to your base directory as `<web-base>`.
* The base directory of your clone of the
[kubernetes-incubator/reference-docs](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/reference-docs)
repository is `$GOPATH/src/github.com/kubernetes-incubator/reference-docs.`
The remaining steps refer to your base directory as `<rdocs-base>`.
## Generating the API reference docs for publishing
The preceding section showed how to edit a source file and then generate
several files, including `api/openapi-spec/swagger.json` in the
`kubernetes/kubernetes` repository.
## Generating the API reference docs
This section shows how to generate the
[published Kubernetes API reference documentation](/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/{{< param "version" >}}/),
which is generated by the tools at
[kubernetes-incubator/reference-docs](https://github.com/kubernetes-incubator/reference-docs).
Those tools take the `api/openapi-spec/swagger.json` file as input.

### Editing Makefile in kubernetes-incubator/reference-docs
### Modifying the Makefile
Go to `<rdocs-base>`, and open `Makefile` for editing:
Go to `<rdocs-base>`, and open the `Makefile` for editing:
Set `K8SROOT` to the base directory of your local kubernetes/kubernetes
repository. Set `WEBROOT` to the base directory of your local kubernetes/website repository.
Set `MINOR_VERSION` to the minor version of the docs you want to build. For example,
if you want to build docs for Kubernetes 1.9, set `MINOR_VERSION` to 9. Save and close `Makefile`.
* Set `K8SROOT` to `<k8s-base>`.
* Set `WEBROOT` to `<web-base>`.
* Set `MINOR_VERSION` to the minor version of the docs you want to build. For example,
if you want to build docs for Kubernetes 1.15, set `MINOR_VERSION` to 15. Save and close the `Makefile`.
For example, update the following variables:
```
WEBROOT=$(GOPATH)/src/github.com/<your-username>/website
K8SROOT=$(GOPATH)/src/k8s.io/kubernetes
MINOR_VERSION=15
```
### Copying the OpenAPI spec
The doc generation code needs a local copy of the OpenAPI spec for the Kubernetes API.
Go to `<k8s-base>` and check out the branch that has the OpenAPI spec you want to use.
For example, if you want to generate docs for Kubernetes 1.9, checkout the release-1.9
branch.
Go back to `<rdocs-base>`. Enter the following command to copy the OpenAPI spec from the
`kubernetes/kubernetes` repository to a local directory:
Run the following command in `<rdocs-base>`:
```shell
make updateapispec

```shell

### Locate the generated files
Verify that these two files have been generated:
These two files are the output of a successful build. Verify that they exist:

```
* `<rdocs-base>/gen-apidocs/generators/build/index.html`
* `<rdocs-base>/gen-apidocs/generators/build/navData.js`
### Creating directories for published docs
Create the directories in `<web-base>` for the generated API reference files:
```shell
mkdir -p <web-base>/static/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/v1.<minor-version>
mkdir -p <web-base>/static/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/v1.<minor-version>/css
mkdir -p <web-base>/static/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/v1.<minor-version>/fonts
```
## Copying the generated docs to the kubernetes/website repository
The preceding sections showed how to generate reference documentation for publication.
This section shows how to copy the generated reference to the
[kubernetes/website](https://github.com/kubernetes/website) repository. The files
in the `kubernetes/website` repository are published in the
[kubernetes.io](https://kubernetes.io) website. In particular, the generated
`index.html` file is published [here](/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/{{< param "version" >}}/).

In this example, only one file has been modified. Recall that you generated both
`index.html` and `navData.js`. But apparently the generated `navata.js` is not different
from the `navData.js` that was already in the kubernetes/website` repository.
## Updating the API reference index pages
* Open `<web-base>/content/en/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/index.md` for editing, and update the API reference
version number. For example:
```
---
title: v1.15
---
[Kubernetes API v1.15](/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/v1.15/)
```
* Open `<web-base>/content/en/docs/reference/_index.md` for editing, and add a
new link for the latest API reference. Remove the oldest API reference version.
There should be five links to the most recent API references.
## Locally test the API reference
Publish a local version of the API reference.
Verify the [local preview](http://localhost:1313/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/v1.15/).
```shell
cd <web-base>
make docker-serve
```
## Commit the changes
In `<web-base>` run `git add` and `git commit` to commit the change.
