highcharts-export-docker

This repo contains what is required to build the docker image for the highcharts export server. It uses the more recent node implementation of the highcharts export server:

https://github.com/highcharts/node-export-server

If you want to skip the build phase and get a container running there is an automatic build setup on dockerhub. Any commits to this repo will automatically build a new container here:

https://hub.docker.com/r/onsdigital/highcharts-export-node/

Build

docker build -t onsdigital/highcharts-export-node . 

Run

docker run -d --name highcharts -p 8889:8080 onsdigital/highcharts-export-node

The above command will expose the service on port 8889. This can be changed if required.

Test

Once the server is running here is an example curl command to render a chart:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"infile":{"title": {"text": "Steep Chart"}, "xAxis": {"categories": ["Jan", "Feb", "Mar"]}, "series": [{"data": [29.9, 71.5, 106.4]}]}}' 127.0.0.1:8889 -o testchart.png
