How to push DSL and JSON with docker container CLI to the cloud?

[alvipeo]

Question

I can push the workspace.dsl to the cloud, but I can't make my layouts published :/

Here's the command I use (on Windows):

docker run -it --rm -v E:\Documents\...\::/usr/local/structurizr structurizr/cli push -id ... -key ... -secret ... -workspace workspace.dsl -archive false

But this will only push the .dsl file. How do I publish both - the .dsl and .json files?

What do you mean by this? Can you explain your workflow?

I work locally using Structurizr Lite (docker image on windows), so everything is on localhost. I create my diagrams using manual layout. So there is a workspace.json created in the local folder. Now, I wanted to share my work with a collegue. From the Structurizr docs, I understand I needed a Structurizr DSL to "publish" my local work to cloud. And when I publish, I get the .dsl, but I don't get the layout.

The workspace.json doesn't get published. The question is how to publish both files to the cloud?

Thanks. In that case you have two options:

1. Use the CLI to push the .json file with -merge false (i.e. don't push the .dsl file, you don't need to).
2. Use Structurizr Lite's auto-sync feature -> https://structurizr.com/share/76352/documentation#auto-sync

Edit: see https://structurizr.com/share/76352/documentation#workflow for more details.

Thank you!

Here's the PowerShell script to do this (put it into $PROFILE):

$script:szWorkspaceId = "id"
$script:szKey = "guid"
$script:szSecret = "guid"
$script:szWorkspacePath = "E:\Documents\<some-path-to-where-dsl-file-resides"

function CheckSzrIsRunning {
   param ([Parameter(Mandatory = $true)][string]$imgName)
   $status = docker ps --no-trunc --format='{{json .}}' | ConvertFrom-Json
   return ($status.Image -eq $imgName -and $status.State -eq "running")
}

function RunStructurizr {
   $isRunning = CheckSzrIsRunning "structurizr/lite"
   if ($isRunning -eq $false) {
      # & "docker run -it --rm -p 8080:8080 -v $script:szWorkspacePath\:/usr/local/structurizr structurizr/lite"
      docker @(
         'run'
         '-it'
         '--rm'
         '-p'
         '8080:8080'
         '-v'
         "$script:szWorkspacePath\:/usr/local/structurizr"
         "structurizr/lite"
      )
   }
   else {
      Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "Structurizr is already running."
   }
}

function RunStructurizrCLI {
   $isRunning = CheckSzrIsRunning "structurizr/cli"
   if ($isRunning -eq $false) {
      # & "docker run -it --rm -v $szWorkspacePath\:/usr/local/structurizr structurizr/cli push -id $szWorkspaceId -key $szKey -secret $szSecret -workspace workspace.dsl -archive false"
      docker @(
         'run'
         '-it'
         '--rm'
         '-v'
         "$script:szWorkspacePath\:/usr/local/structurizr"
         "structurizr/cli"
         "push"
         "-id"
         $szWorkspaceId
         "-key"
         $szKey
         "-secret"
         $szSecret
         "-workspace"
         "workspace.dsl"
         "-archive"
         "false"
      )
      # & "docker run -it --rm -v $szWorkspacePath\:/usr/local/structurizr structurizr/cli push -id $szWorkspaceId -key $szKey -secret $szSecret -workspace workspace.json -archive false -merge false"
      docker @(
         'run'
         '-it'
         '--rm'
         '-v'
         "$script:szWorkspacePath\:/usr/local/structurizr"
         "structurizr/cli"
         "push"
         "-id"
         $szWorkspaceId
         "-key"
         $szKey
         "-secret"
         $szSecret
         "-workspace"
         "workspace.json"
         "-archive"
         "false"
         "-merge"
         "false"
      )
   }
   else {
      Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "Structurizr CLI is already running."
   }
}

Set-Alias -Name "szr" -Value "RunStructurizr"
Set-Alias -Name "szcli" -Value "RunStructurizrCLI"

In case someone needs it.
