Build Server

The build servers:

• read releases from the build queue,
• use rustwide to run cargo doc, isolating each build in a Docker container for security, and
• package the documentation into a ZIP file and upload it to S3.

The code lives in the docs_rs_builder subcrate.

Build environment

Docs.rs / rustwide are internally using the crates-build-env docker images as the build environment for the crate. If you’re missing a system dependency, you can add it there.

Also see the docs.rs build info page.

The root README documents building a published release or a local package during development.

Docs.rs invokes rustdoc with its nightly toolchain. See the rustdoc book for rustdoc-specific behavior and options.
