Dotweb

A simple web interface for Graphviz' dot.

See it running at https://dot.sourcetagsandcodes.com

Build

Dotweb is written in Rust 2021 Edition, using Rust 1.56. Cargo is used to build Dotweb and manage dependencies. You can install Rust and Cargo using rustup. If you're new to Rust, The Rust Programming Language - an introductory book about Rust - is available free online.

Dotweb can then be built for development with:

cargo build

The binary will be written to target/debug/dotweb.

Building for release can be done with:

cargo build --release

The binary will be written to target/release/dotweb.

Run

Dotweb can be built and run for development with:

cargo run

Or the binary (once built with cargo build) can be run directly with:

target/debug/dotweb

You can check Dotweb is running ok by visiting http://localhost:8080/status

Options can be provided like:

cargo run -- --port 1234

or

target/debug/dotweb --port 1234
