# Docker container for mermaid
|
||
|
|
||
|
[mermaid](http://knsv.github.io/mermaid/) is an open source tool for generating diagram and flowchart from text in a similar manner as markdown. This docker image contains mermaid 7.0.11 and is build on top of the official node 8.8.1 image. Installing the dependency phantomjs is tricky. I chose the solution from [jribar](https://hub.docker.com/r/jribar/node-phantomjs/~/dockerfile/).

## usage
|
||
|
|

|
> docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/data:z felixlohmeier/mermaid

|
## typical workflow
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Create your graph in [mermaid's live editor](https://mermaidjs.github.io/mermaid-live-editor/)
|
||
|
2. Copy & paste your graph config in a text editor and save as myflowchart.mmd
|
||
|
3. Run docker to create png and/or svg. Example (render svg and png; width of the generated png: 600 pixel):
|
||
|
|
||
|
> docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/data:z mermaid -s -p -w 600 myflowchart.mmd
