Problem

65 of 66 pages shipped the same <meta name="description"> (the site default), and software lived behind category anchors — no app had its own indexable URL, title, or description.

Change (documentation side; generator is armbian/configng#991)

  • overrides/main.html — per-page Open Graph / Twitter tags from front matter (og:title, og:description, og:image from the app image:), falling back to site defaults. Material already renders <meta name="description"> from page meta.
  • pull-from-armbian-config.yml — rsync the generated docs/software/ into the site, then regenerate the software nav.
  • tools/build-software-nav.py — rebuild the ARMBIAN SOFTWARE nav (category → app pages) from the synced app pages, grouped under curated labels; data-driven, so a removed/merged category can't linger (this is how the phantom "Music" entry drops out). Rewrites only between BEGIN/END markers.
  • mkdocs.yml — markers + not_in_nav for the category hub pages (kept for SEO / their existing URLs, reached via search + the app back-link); drop toc.integrate and navigation.expand for a clean grouped nav.
  • serve-docs-local.sh — reproduce the pull + build locally to preview.

The nav block is committed flat here (builds standalone under mkdocs build --strict); the pull workflow regenerates it grouped when it syncs the app pages from configng.

Merge order

Land with armbian/configng#991 — the app pages and grouped nav arrive via the automated "Pull from Armbian config" PR once that merges. This PR is the plumbing.

Verified (local strict build)

/software/netdata/ → title "Netdata", keyword description, og:image https://docs.armbian.com/images/NTD001.png; left nav groups category → apps (collapsed, no redundant rows); sitemap lists the new URLs; strict build green.

Walkthrough

The documentation workflow synchronizes software pages and regenerates software navigation. The navigation generator groups application pages by front matter category and sorts them by title. The local script stages generated documentation and supports clean builds, live previews, and cleanup. The main template adds Open Graph and Twitter metadata with page and site fallbacks. MkDocs excludes software category pages from navigation.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to be405

The local preview workflow can show stale software navigation and may remove unstaged documentation edits, causing previews to differ from published output or local work to be lost. These bounded workflow risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

that does not discard unstaged changes or delete user-owned files.
- Around line 28-39: Update the MkDocs selection logic around the MK variable so
it prefers the local VENV/bin/mkdocs environment installed from
DOCS/requirements.txt, or validates any PATH-provided mkdocs includes all
dependencies required by the active mkdocs.yml, including mkdocs-redirects and
mdx_truly_sane_lists, before using it; otherwise fall back to the
dependency-complete local environment.

In `@tools/build-software-nav.py`:
- Around line 45-55: Align the generator and navigation workflow so the
generated software documentation is written under the expected
software-navigation location with front matter containing title and category,
allowing collect_apps() and read_front_matter() to process it. Update the
generation/sync flow rather than changing read_front_matter(), and preserve the
existing comments metadata.

Every page shipped the same <meta name="description"> (the site default) and
software lived behind category anchors, so search could not tell one app from
another. This wires the documentation side of the per-app redesign (generator
is armbian/configng):

- overrides/main.html: emit per-page Open Graph / Twitter tags from front
  matter (og:title, og:description, and og:image from the app logo shipped as
  `image:`), falling back to the site defaults elsewhere. Material already
  renders <meta name="description"> from page meta.
- pull-from-armbian-config.yml: rsync the generated docs/software/ into the
  site (per-app /software/<slug>/ URLs), then regenerate the software nav.
- tools/build-software-nav.py: rebuild the "ARMBIAN SOFTWARE" nav from the
  generated app pages (category -> app pages, grouped under curated labels);
  data-driven, so removed/merged categories cannot linger. Rewrites only the
  region between the BEGIN/END markers in mkdocs.yml.
- mkdocs.yml: markers + not_in_nav for the category hub pages (kept for SEO and
  their existing URLs, reached via search / the app back-link); drop
  toc.integrate and navigation.expand so the app pages get a clean grouped nav.
- css: the primary "CLI install" block is styled large to stand out.
- serve-docs-local.sh: reproduce the pull + build locally for previewing.

The nav block is committed flat here (buildable standalone); the pull workflow
regenerates it grouped when it syncs the app pages from configng.
