Understanding the requirements and limitations for bundling GitLab Docs with the Omnibus package
Problem to solve
As per the decision in gitlab#214164 (comment 382816582) we want to start offering GitLab Docs as part of the Omnibus package, as we plan to discontinue downplay the use of /help and offer administrators the option to install GitLab Docs locally.
This issue is specifically to gain an understanding of the requirements and limitations of what might be involved in getting the GitLab Docs project added to the Omnibus package. It is also to discuss the technical approach to be taken, i.e. bundling pre-compiled assets or bundling the project source and generating the assets in the local environment.
Intended users
Any roles operating in air-gapped environments.
