Research direction

Start by locating the build step that fetches the api-spec from pulp-docs' docs-data branch and the generated website entry point; no file is named in the issue. Define how a local Pulp instance on port 5001 is selected, then verify the served site renders API docs from that local instance.

Description

enhancement

Currently the REST Api docs are build from the api-spec fetched from pulp-docs "docs-data" branch.

We should add an option (or automatic behavior) of trying to fetch from a local Pulp instance (like the one on port 5001), so the developer can preview the generated API docs from the pulp-docs served website.
