Virak Cloud Documentation

The official documentation site for Virak Cloud — a cloud platform providing cloud servers, networking, object storage, managed Kubernetes, managed databases, DNS, and a public web service API.

This repository powers docs.virakcloud.com, built with VitePress and fully bilingual (Persian and English), including right-to-left (RTL) support for Persian content.

Features

• Bilingual content: All guides are available in both Persian (fa) and English (en), each with its own sidebar, search translations, and locale-specific routing.
• RTL support: Persian pages are rendered right-to-left using rtlcss, with a custom font (IRANSansX) applied automatically.
• Dark mode aware images: Screenshots automatically switch between light and dark versions using the <DarkModeImage /> component.
• Local search: Built-in VitePress local search with fully translated UI strings for the Persian locale.
• Comments: Page comments powered by Remark42.
• Analytics: Google Analytics integration via vitepress-plugin-google-analytics.
• Image zoom: Clickable image zoom powered by medium-zoom.

Tech Stack
