cidrblock / drawthe.net

drawthe.net draws network diagrams dynamically from a text file describing the placement, layout and icons. Given a yaml file describing the hierarchy of the network and it's connections, a resulting diagram will be created.

offline render? #6

Open nogweii opened 7 years ago

nogweii commented 7 years ago

I realize that it's mostly front-end, but I have an idea about a tool to automatically generate the appropriate YAML, and then render it. It's not necessarily a problem to have it save the YAML and throw it up onto a webserver, but figured a way to generate the final diagram ahead of time would make things simpler.

I was also looking for something like this, rendering them offline than use them embedded in other documentation.

Another issue is regarding privacy, I would like to generate network diagram with all sensitive information in my private webserver, not in public one.

lonniev commented 6 years ago

Perhaps related to this Issue #6: a REST interface to go.drawthe.net would be very handy for automation of technical documentation. One could save the yaml and curl POST it go.drawthe.net to receive back a PNG of the appropriate network diagram.

What is the privacy issue? Why can't you host this internally?

There is now a PNG export, and you can simply change the source from a yaml file to a rest call to a bespoke api, that returns the json object, and convert it back to yaml.

In short, I don't think that there is any asks here, that are not supported, but I could be missing the point.

I’m not aware of any issue with privacy.

I’m only curious for a way to call the go.drawthe.net service from a scripted build.

If the service is just some node/java app that can easily be run on my local systems then I can bring in it local. I just like the idea of not having to set up that system as part of my build just to push over a yaml and get back a png.

Indeed, my initial request was just a way to automate the conversion of the YAML to a PNG. Right now, if I wanted to add a network diagram I have to open the YAML in the browser, then save off the PNG. I'm not aware of an automated process.

For those concerned about the privacy aspects, drawthe.net is OSS and could be deployed on their own servers. That is independent of adding an automated conversion.

Any plans to provide a "binary" like a docker image?

bonndan commented 6 years ago

Wrote this based on your code: https://github.com/bonndan/dld4e-headless

Still not complete but one can see where it's going.

Thanks for making this into a server side call, I still can't get notes text to appear, it's just blank.

how can we make an api request to this?

Hi guys.

I, too, that I wanted to render a network diagram from locally constructed drawthe automatically.
So I made the automatically render tool of a network diagram from drawthe.

Maybe it will help you.
