# Kroki diagrams **(FREE SELF)**
> - [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/241744) in GitLab 13.7.
> - Support for reStructuredText and Textile documents [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/324766) in GitLab 13.12.
When [Kroki](https://kroki.io) integration is enabled and configured in
GitLab you can use it to create diagrams in AsciiDoc, Markdown, reStructuredText, and Textile documents.
## Kroki Server
When Kroki is enabled, GitLab sends diagrams to an instance of Kroki to display them as images.
You can use the free public cloud instance `https://kroki.io` or you can [install Kroki](https://docs.kroki.io/kroki/setup/install/)
on your own infrastructure.
After you've installed Kroki, make sure to update the server URL to point to your instance.
### Docker
With Docker, run a container like this:
```shell
docker run -d --name kroki -p 8080:8000 yuzutech/kroki
```
The **Kroki URL** is the hostname of the server running the container.
The [`yuzutech/kroki`](https://hub.docker.com/r/yuzutech/kroki) image contains the following diagrams libraries out-of-the-box:
<!-- vale gitlab.Spelling = NO -->
- [Bytefield](https://bytefield-svg.deepsymmetry.org/)
- [Ditaa](http://ditaa.sourceforge.net)
- [Erd](https://github.com/BurntSushi/erd)
- [GraphViz](https://www.graphviz.org/)
- [Nomnoml](https://github.com/skanaar/nomnoml)
- [PlantUML](https://github.com/plantuml/plantuml)
- [C4 model](https://github.com/RicardoNiepel/C4-PlantUML) (with PlantUML)
- [Svgbob](https://github.com/ivanceras/svgbob)
- [UMlet](https://github.com/umlet/umlet)
- [Vega](https://github.com/vega/vega)
- [Vega-Lite](https://github.com/vega/vega-lite)
- [WaveDrom](https://wavedrom.com/)
<!-- vale gitlab.Spelling = YES -->
If you want to use additional diagram libraries,
read the [Kroki installation](https://docs.kroki.io/kroki/setup/install/#_images) to learn how to start Kroki companion containers.
## Enable Kroki in GitLab
You need to enable Kroki integration from Settings under Admin Area.
To do that, log in with an administrator account and follow these steps:
1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Admin**.
1. Go to **Settings > General**.
1. Expand the **Kroki** section.
1. Select **Enable Kroki** checkbox.
1. Enter the **Kroki URL**.
## Create diagrams
With Kroki integration enabled and configured, you can start adding diagrams to
your AsciiDoc or Markdown documentation using delimited blocks:
- **Markdown**
````markdown
```plantuml
Bob -> Alice : hello
Alice -> Bob : hi
```
````
- **AsciiDoc**
```plaintext
[plantuml]
....
Bob->Alice : hello
Alice -> Bob : hi
....
```
- **reStructuredText**
```plaintext
.. code-block:: plantuml
Bob->Alice : hello
Alice -> Bob : hi
```
- **Textile**
```plaintext
bc[plantuml]. Bob->Alice : hello
Alice -> Bob : hi
```
The above blocks are converted to an HTML image tag with source pointing to the
Kroki instance. If the Kroki server is correctly configured, this should
render a nice diagram instead of the block:

Kroki supports more than a dozen diagram libraries. Here's a few examples for AsciiDoc:
**GraphViz**
```plaintext
[graphviz]
....
digraph finite_state_machine {
rankdir=LR;
node [shape = doublecircle]; LR_0 LR_3 LR_4 LR_8;
node [shape = circle];
LR_0 -> LR_2 [ label = "SS(B)" ];
LR_0 -> LR_1 [ label = "SS(S)" ];
LR_1 -> LR_3 [ label = "S($end)" ];
LR_2 -> LR_6 [ label = "SS(b)" ];
LR_2 -> LR_5 [ label = "SS(a)" ];
LR_2 -> LR_4 [ label = "S(A)" ];
LR_5 -> LR_7 [ label = "S(b)" ];
LR_5 -> LR_5 [ label = "S(a)" ];
LR_6 -> LR_6 [ label = "S(b)" ];
LR_6 -> LR_5 [ label = "S(a)" ];
LR_7 -> LR_8 [ label = "S(b)" ];
LR_7 -> LR_5 [ label = "S(a)" ];
LR_8 -> LR_6 [ label = "S(b)" ];
LR_8 -> LR_5 [ label = "S(a)" ];
}
....
```

**C4 (based on PlantUML)**
```plaintext
