plantuml standalone configuration requires more details
I was looking at the information regarding the local installation of plantuml server. https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/administration/integration/plantuml.html
The installation of the server is fine.
However, the instructions to properly link the local instance of plantuml to gitlab is missing.
If one wants to add such local server to an omnibus installation for instance, it is necessary
to redirect some content from the plantuml URL (say gitlab.example.com/plantuml
) to localhost:8080/plantuml
.
That kind of redirection is found in /var/opt/gitlab/nginx/conf/gitlab-mattermost-http.conf
generated from /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
for mattermost for instance.
One cannot set the PlanUML URL to http://localhost:8080/plantuml since that URL appears in the markdown pages and will refer to the local computer.
