Beautiful, powerful, documentation for RomM

Overview

This is the official documentation for RomM, the beautiful, powerful self-hosted ROM manager and player. Here you'll find everything you need to know about setting up, configuring, and using RomM.

Building the documentation

We use uv to build the documentation. To install it, run:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

And activate it:

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate

Then install python and the required dependencies:

uv python install
uv sync --all-extras --dev

Finally run the following command to serve the documentation from a local server:

uv run mkdocs serve [-a ip:port] --livereload

Contributing

We welcome all types of contributions, from simple typo fixes to new content. If you'd like to contribute, please read our code of conduct.

Setting up the linter

We use Trunk for linting, which combines multiple linters with sensible defaults and a single configuration file. You'll need to install the Trunk CLI to use it.

- Install the Trunk CLI

curl https://get.trunk.io -fsSL | bash

Alternative installation methods can be found here. On commit, the linter will run automatically. To run it manually, use the following commands:

trunk fmt
trunk check

Deploy

We use mike to build and deploy documentation versions. Manually deploy a version needs to update and push the specific version (or a new one if creating a new version) with the following command:

uv run mike deploy --push <version> [alias]

This will update the gh-pages branch and automatically deploys the version with the fix/update to https://docs.romm.app
