Description

Our documentation on management commands was very limited, listing only
a few commands and in no specific order.

This change completely reworks the documentation to list all common
commands we display in rb-site manage --help. They go over basic
usage and options, show warnings for the more dangerous commands, and
provide links to useful reference docs.

Each set of commands are listed in a dedicated section, providing
organization.

There's a new rb-management-command directive and role, which will
make it easier to link to the necessary docs without using :ref:.

Two commands, find-large-diffs and invalidate-api-tokens, have been
added to the mange rb-site manage --help output.

Testing Done

Built the docs. Checked for build errors, spelling errors, and bad
links. Viewed them in the new docs UI.

Is it worth clarifying here that periodic/scheduled indexing is only required if on-the-fly indexing is turned off?

Change Summary:


Updated ordering of some items in the siteconfig section's summary to make more logical sense.
Added a note about not needing periodic updates if on-the-fly indexing is enabled for search.

Wouldn't the option be -m 10 for 10 minutes? And -a 1 is 1 hour?

chipx86 June 19, 2023, 3 p.m.

Yeah, though those just control the timestamp range. The goal here is to update the search index every 10 minutes, but to consider any item with a timestamp from the past hour. That gives some buffer room, helping avoid something from being missed due to, say, a reboot, or a temporary outage.

Reworking the docs to be more clear here.

Change Summary:


Fixed a typo.
Clarified the difference between -a <HOURS> and the task schedule timing for update_index.
