arch-structurizr

You can automate Structurizr DSL rendering by initializing a Docker-based render pipeline that validates the DSL file and exports C4 diagrams to SVG format. This setup eliminates manual workspace configuration and ensures correctly rendered architecture models.

The best way to set up a Structurizr workspace for arc42 is to scaffold the required directory structure, substitute project information, and pin Docker image versions. This ensures the C4 diagram workspace is correctly configured for architecture documentation.

Yes, Docker is required to generate C4 diagrams with Structurizr using this approach. The render pipeline relies on Docker images to validate the Structurizr DSL and render the architecture diagrams into SVG format.

Yes, you can automatically export Structurizr C4 diagrams to SVG format. The render pipeline validates the version-controlled DSL file and uses Docker images to execute the export, converting your architecture definitions into SVG output.

A Structurizr DSL render pipeline fails during initialization if Docker is not installed or running, the version-controlled DSL file contains syntax errors, or the workspace directory structure is incorrectly scaffolded. Pipeline verification confirms the workspace, Docker image, and DSL setup.

Yes, Structurizr works with arc42 documentation by managing and validating the Structurizr DSL specifically for generating C4 diagrams. It integrates into the business or system architecture modeling process to provide visual context within the arc42 structure.
