How to run the server
Just run:
mvn jetty:run
The server is now listing to http://localhost:8080/plantuml. In this way the server is run on an embedded jetty server.
You can specify the port at which it runs:
mvn jetty:run -Djetty.port=9999
How to run the server with Docker
You can run Plantuml with jetty or tomcat container
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 plantuml/plantuml-server:jetty
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 plantuml/plantuml-server:tomcat
The server is now listing to http://localhost:8080.
Alternate: How to build your docker image
This method uses maven to run the application. That requires internet connectivity. So, you can use following command to create a self-contained docker image that will "just-work".
Note: Generate the WAR (instructions further below) prior to running "docker build"
docker image build -t plantuml-server .
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 plantuml-server
The server is now listing to http://localhost:8080/plantuml.
You may specity the port in -p Docker command line argument.
How to generate the war
To build the war, just run:
mvn package
at the root directory of the project to produce plantuml.war in the target/ directory.
