How to view a C4 model

Online (for others wanting to quickly view)

1. Copy the contents of workspace.dsl
2. Go to https://structurizr.com/dsl
3. Paste it into the window and click render.

Local inner loop

This allows you to continuously edit, save the file, and see the rendered model auto refresh.

1. Run docker
2. From within the c4model folder, run ./start-structurizr.sh
3. Browse to: http://localhost:8080/
