# SoS
Sos is an extensible, portable, support data collection tool primarily
aimed at Linux distributions and other UNIX-like operating systems.
This project is hosted at:
* https://github.com/sosreport/sos
For the latest version, to contribute, and for more information, please visit
the project pages or join the mailing list.
To clone the current master (development) branch run:
```
git clone git://github.com/sosreport/sos.git
```
## Reporting bugs
Please report bugs via the mailing list or by opening an issue in the [GitHub
Issue Tracker][5]
## Chat
The SoS project has rooms in Matrix and in Libera.Chat.
Matrix Room: #sosreport:matrix.org
Libera.Chat: #sos
These rooms are bridged, so joining either is sufficient as messages from either will
appear in both.
The Freenode #sos room **is no longer used by this project**.
## Mailing list
The [sos-devel][4] is the mailing list for any sos-related questions and
discussion. Patch submissions and reviews are welcome too.
## Patches and pull requests
Patches can be submitted via the mailing list or as GitHub pull requests. If
using GitHub please make sure your branch applies to the current master as a
'fast forward' merge (i.e. without creating a merge commit). Use the `git
rebase` command to update your branch to the current master if necessary.
Please refer to the [contributor guidelines][0] for guidance on formatting
patches and commit messages.
## Documentation
User and API [documentation][6] is automatically generated using [Sphinx][7]
and [Read the Docs][8].
To generate HTML documents locally, install dependencies using
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
and run
```
python3 setup.py build_sphinx -a
```
Please run `./tests/simple.sh` before sending a [pull request][0], and run the
test suite manually using the `nosetests` command (ideally for the
set of Python versions currently supported by `sos` upstream).

```
If you want to run it with all the options enabled (this can take a long time)

$ sudo ./bin/sos report -a
```
