Are all dependencies required if using Kroki? #127

Closed dlaird-ovo closed 10 months ago

dlaird-ovo commented 1 year ago

We are using Kroki as part of our Backstage instance and have it deployed and available 'in cluster'.

Given that Kroki supports many diagram formats - I am wondering if PlantUML, Graphviz etc are required in the backstage container where mkdocs is running?

Currently they get installed by default when running:

pip3 install mkdocs-techdocs-core==1.2.1 mkdocs-kroki-plugin --no-cache-dir

But I am wondering if 'all' diagrams can be rendered by Kroki - can I remove these dependencies?
