Structurizr onprem showing empty workspace

[martinkra]

Description

I've started onprem on my machine using docker pull/run. I am able to access the tool on localhost:8080. Also, I can create workspaces. The problem is that it shows that workspace is empty, eventhough I added workspace.dsl into the folder. The file is from getting started:

workspace {

model {
    user = person "User" "A user of my software system."
    softwareSystem = softwareSystem "Software System" "My software system."

    user -> softwareSystem "Uses"
}

views {
    systemContext softwareSystem "SystemContext" {
        include *
        autoLayout
    }

    styles {
        element "Software System" {
            background #1168bd
            color #ffffff
        }
        element "Person" {
            shape person
            background #08427b
            color #ffffff
        }
    }
}

}

Steps to reproduce

docker pull structurizr/onpremises:latest
docker run...
access localhost:8080 using browser
create new workspace
open workspace page - workspace is empty
access the folder created in previous step
put workspace.dsl into the folder
open workspace page again - workspace is still empty

The on-premises installation doesn't work in that way, so you can't copy a workspace.dsl file into the Structurizr data directory. Your options for creating workspace content are shown when you create a workspace via the UI:

If this is not what you were expecting, perhaps you were looking for Structurizr Lite?

Structurizr Lite works the way I expected. Thx.
