Shuai Yuan 4586dc2c60 Honor label filters for volume prune when all is set
NormalizeVolumePruneFilters discarded every query filter when the "all"
pseudo-filter was set, deleting label/label!/until before they reached the
volume filter generator. As a result `podman volume prune --all --filter
label=foo` ignored the label and pruned every unused volume.

"all" only widens the prune scope from anonymous-only to all unused volumes;
it is orthogonal to the label filters, which must still select which of those
volumes are removed. Drop only the "all" key and keep the remaining filters so
they continue to apply.

NormalizeVolumePruneFilters is shared by the local (abi), remote (libpod API),
and Docker-compat prune paths, so all three were affected.

Podman Documentation

The online man pages and other documents regarding Podman can be found at Read The Docs. The man pages can be found under the Commands link on that page.

API Reference

The latest online documentation is automatically generated by two cooperating automation systems based on committed upstream source code. Firstly, the Publish swagger GitHub Actions workflow builds pkg/api/swagger.yaml and uploads it to a public-facing location (Google Storage Bucket - an online service for storing unstructured data). Second, Read The Docs reacts to the github.com repository change, building the content for the libpod documentation site. This site includes for the API section, some javascript which consumes the uploaded swagger.yaml file directly from the Google Storage Bucket.

Since there are multiple systems and local cache is involved, it's possible that updates to documentation (especially the swagger/API docs) will lag by 10-or-so minutes. However, because the client (i.e. your web browser) is fetching content from multiple locations that do not share a common domain, accessing the API section may show a stack-trace similar to the following:

If reloading the page, or clearing your local cache does not fix the problem, it is likely caused by broken metadata needed to protect clients from cross-site-scripting style attacks. Please notify a maintainer so they may investigate how/why the swagger.yaml file's CORS-metadata is incorrect, or the file isn't accessible for some other reason.

Local Testing

To build standard man pages, run make docs. Results will be in docs/build/man.

To build HTMLized man pages: Assuming that you have the dependencies installed, then also install (showing Fedora in the example):

$ sudo dnf install python3-sphinx python3-recommonmark
$ pip install sphinx-markdown-tables myst_parser

(The above dependencies are current as of 2022-09-15. If you experience problems, please see requirements.txt in this directory, it will almost certainly be more up-to-date than this README.)

After that completes, cd to the docs directory in your Podman sandbox and then do make html.

You can then preview the html files in docs/build/html with:

python -m http.server 8000 --directory build/html

...and point your web browser at http://localhost:8000/
