A CLI for https://kroki.io.
kroki convert hello.dot
By default, the diagram type will be inferred from the diagram file extension and the default output format will be SVG.
Long format:
kroki convert hello.dot --type dot --format svg
The output format can also be inferred from the output file using the --out-file flag:
kroki convert simple.er --out-file out.png
Read from stdin:
cat hello.dot | kroki convert - -t dot
By default, when reading from stdin using -, the result will be output to stdout.
If you want to output to a file you can use -o:
cat hello.dot | kroki convert - -t dot -o out.png
Similarly, you can also output to stdout when reading from a file using the special value - with the --out-file flag:
kroki convert simple.er --out-file -
To configure the endpoint, you can use a configuration file. The CLI will look for the following locations:
-
/etc/kroki.yml -
$HOME/kroki.yml -
kroki.yml
You can also specify an alternate config file using the --config flag:
kroki convert hello.dot --config config.yml
The config file should contain the endpoint URL and the HTTP timeout. By default, Kroki will use the demonstration server: https://demo.kroki.io and a timeout of 20 seconds.

Please note that the demonstration server usage is restricted to reasonable, non-commercial use-cases. We provide no guarantee regarding uptime or latency. |
Example:
endpoint: 'https://localhost:8000'
timeout: 30sIf you don’t want to use a file you can also use the following environment variables:
-
KROKI_ENDPOINT -
KROKI_TIMEOUT
KROKI_ENDPOINT=https://localhost:8000 KROKI_TIMEOUT=1m kroki convert hello.dot
