All new documentation
This patch does a lot. - Ditch sphinx in favor of hugo. This gives us complete control of the layout and presentation of our docs. Henceforth, docs will be hosted on our website rather than ReadTheDocs. - Create a simple, clean doc layout and theme. - Remove large parts of the documentaion. I've ditched anything that was a) woefully out of date, b) too detailed, or c) too hard to maintain in the long term. - Huge updates to the docs themselves: completely rewrite addons documentation, add docs for core concepts like commands and options, and revise and tweak a lot of the existing docs. With this patch, we're also changing the way we publish and maintain the docs. From now on, we don't publish docs for every release. Instead, the website will contain ONE set of docs for each major release. The online docs will be updated if needed as minor releases are made. Docs are free to improve during minor releases, but anything that changes behaviour sufficiently to require a doc change warrants a new major release. This also leaves us free to progressively update and improve docs out of step with our release cadence. With this new scheme, I feel CI over the docs is less important. I've removed it for now, but won't object if someone wants to add it back in.

-=====
-
-On Linux, mitmproxy integrates with the iptables redirection mechanism to
-achieve transparent mode.
-
- 1. :ref:`Install the mitmproxy certificate on the test device <certinstall>`
-
- 2. Enable IP forwarding:
-
- >>> sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
- >>> sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
-
- You may also want to consider enabling this permanently in ``/etc/sysctl.conf`` or newly created ``/etc/sysctl.d/mitmproxy.conf``, see `here <https://superuser.com/a/625852>`__.
-
- 3. If your target machine is on the same physical network and you configured it to use a custom
- gateway, disable ICMP redirects:
-
- >>> sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects=0
-
-    You may also want to consider enabling this permanently in ``/etc/sysctl.conf`` or a newly created ``/etc/sysctl.d/mitmproxy.conf``, see `here <https://superuser.com/a/625852>`__.
-
- 4. Create an iptables ruleset that redirects the desired traffic to the
- mitmproxy port. Details will differ according to your setup, but the
- ruleset should look something like this:
-
- .. code-block:: none
-
- iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
- iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
- ip6tables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
- ip6tables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
-
-    You may also want to consider enabling this permanently with the ``iptables-persistent`` package, see `here <http://www.microhowto.info/howto/make_the_configuration_of_iptables_persistent_on_debian.html>`__.
-
- 5. Fire up mitmproxy. You probably want a command like this:
-
- >>> mitmproxy -T --host
-
- The ``-T`` flag turns on transparent mode, and the ``--host``
- argument tells mitmproxy to use the value of the Host header for URL display.
-
- 6. Finally, configure your test device to use the host on which mitmproxy is
- running as the default gateway.
