docs: update docs ordering and formatting (#1192) The major change is adding `sort` directive to docs. For those docs which are copied from internal packages `sort` is added via makefile command. For the rest it is added manually since they're updated manually as well. The rest of changes is connected with markdown formatting. For example, changing headers in some files (`##` => `#`) makes navigation on .github.io to look better. This especially useful for `changelog` docs. Table of contents for `vmctl` is dropped, since we already have it autogenerated on .github.io. No link changes expected. The corresponding PR to `cluster` branch will be made in follow-up PR.

2. Create the following release tags:

2022-08-31 01:27:24 +02:00
3. Run `TAG=v1.xx.y make publish-release`. This command performs the following tasks:
a) Build and package binaries in `*.tar.gz` release archives with the corresponding `_checksums.txt` files inside `bin` directory.
This step can be run manually with the command `make release` from the needed git tag.
b) Build and publish [multi-platform Docker images](https://docs.docker.com/build/buildx/multiplatform-images/)
for the given `TAG`, `TAG-cluster`, `TAG-enterprise` and `TAG-enterprise-cluster`.
The multi-platform Docker image is built for the following platforms:
* linux/amd64
* linux/arm64
* linux/arm
* linux/ppc64le
* linux/386
This step can be run manually with the command `make publish` from the needed git tag.
docs/Release-Guide.md: require manual push of the created release tags to public Github The automated push of release tags to Github require specifying the remote repository name when doing `git push <remote-repo-name> v1.xx.y`. The remote repository name can differ in different environments, so it cannot be put into Makefile rule. TODO: create a Makefile rule, which generates standard remote names for public and private repositories in Git, so `git push` for release tags could be automated then.
2022-09-08 13:51:17 +02:00
4. Push the tags created `v1.xx.y` and `v1.xx.y-cluster` at step 2 to public GitHub repository at https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics .
**Important note:** do not push enteprise tags to public GitHub repository - they must be pushed only to private repository.

2022-11-01 09:30:54 +01:00
5. Run `TAG=v1.xx.y make github-create-release github-upload-assets`. This command performs the following tasks:
docs/Release-Guide.md: require manual push of the created release tags to public Github The automated push of release tags to Github require specifying the remote repository name when doing `git push <remote-repo-name> v1.xx.y`. The remote repository name can differ in different environments, so it cannot be put into Makefile rule.

2022-09-08 13:51:17 +02:00
a) Create draft GitHub release with the name `TAG`. This step can be run manually

2022-08-31 01:27:24 +02:00
with the command `TAG=v1.xx.y make github-create-release`.
The release id is stored at `/tmp/vm-github-release` file.

This step can be run manually with the command `make github-upload-assets`.
It is expected that the needed release id is stored at `/tmp/vm-github-release` file,

If the upload process is interrupted by any reason, then the following recovery steps must be performed:
- To delete the created draft release by running the command `make github-delete-release`.
This command expects that the id of the release to delete is located at `/tmp/vm-github-release`

- To run the command `TAG=v1.xx.y make github-create-release github-upload-assets`, so new release is created
and all the needed assets are re-uploaded to it.
