To know more about PlantUML, please visit http://plantuml.com/.
Requirements
============
* jre/jdk 1.6.0 or above
* apache maven 3.0.2 or above
How to run the server
=====================
Just run:
```
mvn jetty:run
```
The server is now listing to [http://localhost:8080/plantuml](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](http://localhost:8080).
How to set PlantUML options
=================================
You can apply some option to your PlantUML server with environement variable.
If you run the directly the jar, you can pass the option with `-D` flag
```
java -D THE_ENV_VARIABLE=THE_ENV_VALUE -Djetty.contextpath=/ -jar target/dependency/jetty-runner.jar target/plantuml.war
```
or
```
mvn jetty:run -D THE_ENV_VARIABLE=THE_ENV_VALUE -Djetty.port=9999
```
If you use docker, you can use the `-e` flag:
```
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -e THE_ENV_VARIABLE=THE_ENV_VALUE plantuml/plantuml-server:jetty
```
You can set all the following variables:
* `PLANTUML_LIMIT_SIZE`
* Limits image width and height
* Default value `4096`
* `GRAPHVIZ_DOT`
* Link to 'dot' executable
* Default value `/usr/local/bin/dot` or `/usr/bin/dot`
* `PLANTUML_STATS`
* Set it to `on` to enable [statistics report](http://plantuml.com/statistics-report)
* Default value `off`
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](http://localhost:8080/plantuml).
You may specify 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.
