ALLURE DOCKER SERVICE
Table of contents
FEATURES
Allure Framework provides you good looking reports for automation testing.
For using this tool is required to install a server. You could have this server running on Jenkins or if you want to see reports locally, you need to run some commands on your machine. This work results tedious, at least for me :)
For that reason, this docker container allows you to see up to date reports simply mounting your allure-results directory (for a Single Project) or your projects directory (for Multiple Projects). Every time appears new results (generated for your tests), Allure Docker Service will detect those changes and it will generate a new report automatically (optional: send results / generate report through API), what you will see refreshing your browser.
- Useful for developers who wants to run tests locally and want to see what were the problems during regressions.
- Useful for the team to check the tests status for every project.

USAGE
Generate Allure Results
First at all it’s important to be clear. This container only generates reports based on results. You have to generate allure results according to the technology what are you using.
Reference: https://github.com/fescobar/allure-docker-service-examples
We have some examples projects:
In this case we are going to generate results using the java project allure-docker-java-testng-example of this repository.
Go to directory allure-docker-java-testng-example via command line:
cd allure-docker-java-testng-example
Execute:
mvn test -Dtest=FirstTest
If everything is OK, you should see something like this:
[INFO] -------------------------------------------------------

There are 2 tests, one of them failed. Now you can see the allure-results diretory was created inside of allure-docker-java-testng-example project.
Just it has left 1 step more. You have to run allure-docker-service mounting your allure-results directory.

NOTE:
SINGLE PROJECT - LOCAL REPORTS
This option is recommended for local executions. You should attach the volume where your results are being generated locally for your automation project.
All the information related local executions will be stored in the default project what is created when you start the container. You can see the complete info using the GET /projects/default endpoint:
Single Project - Docker on Unix/Mac
From this directory allure-docker-java-testng-example execute next command:
docker run -p 5050:5050 -e CHECK_RESULTS_EVERY_SECONDS=3 -e KEEP_HISTORY=1 \
-v ${PWD}/allure-results:/app/allure-results \
-v ${PWD}/allure-reports:/app/default-reports \
frankescobar/allure-docker-service
Single Project - Docker on Windows (Git Bash)
From this directory allure-docker-java-testng-example execute next command:
docker run -p 5050:5050 -e CHECK_RESULTS_EVERY_SECONDS=3 -e KEEP_HISTORY=1 \
-v "/$(pwd)/allure-results:/app/allure-results" \
-v "/$(pwd)/allure-reports:/app/default-reports" \
frankescobar/allure-docker-service
Single Project - Docker Compose
Using docker-compose is the best way to manage containers: allure-docker-java-testng-example/docker-compose.yml
version: '3'
services:
allure:
image: "frankescobar/allure-docker-service"
environment:
CHECK_RESULTS_EVERY_SECONDS: 1
KEEP_HISTORY: 1
ports:
- "5050:5050"
volumes:
- ${PWD}/allure-results:/app/allure-results
- ${PWD}/allure-reports:/app/default-reports
From this directory allure-docker-java-testng-example execute next command:
docker-compose up allure
If you want to run in background:
docker-compose up -d allure
You can see the logs:
docker-compose logs -f allure
NOTE:
- Check the New User Interface
- Read about PORT 4040 Deprecated in case you are using previous versions.
- The
${PWD}/allure-results directory could be in anywhere on your machine. Your project must generate results in that directory.
- The
/app/allure-results directory is inside of the container. You MUST NOT change this directory, otherwise, the container won’t detect the new changes.
- The
/app/default-reports directory is inside of the container. You MUST NOT change this directory, otherwise, the history reports won’t be stored.
NOTE FOR WINDOWS USERS:
${PWD} determines the current directory. This only works for GIT BASH. If you want to use PowerShell or CMD you need to put your full path to allure-results directory or find the way to get the current directory path using those tools.
MULTIPLE PROJECTS - REMOTE REPORTS
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.13.3
With this option you could generate multiple reports for multiple projects, you can create, delete and get projects using Project Endpoints. You can use Swagger documentation to help you.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
- For multiple projects configuration you must use
CHECK_RESULTS_EVERY_SECONDS with value NONE. Otherwise, your performance machine would be affected, it could consume high memory, processors and storage. Use the endpoint GET /generate-report on demand after sending the results POST /send-results.
- If you use automatic reports a daemom is created and it will be listening any change in the
results directory it will generate a new report each time find a new file. The same will happen for every project. For that reason, it’s convenient disable the automatic reports using the value NONE in CHECK_RESULTS_EVERY_SECONDS.
Multiple Project - Docker on Unix/Mac
docker run -p 5050:5050 -e CHECK_RESULTS_EVERY_SECONDS=NONE -e KEEP_HISTORY=1 \
-v ${PWD}/projects:/app/projects \
frankescobar/allure-docker-service
Multiple Project - Docker on Windows (Git Bash)

Creating our first project
- Creating the project
my-project-id using the endpoint POST /projects:
- You can see all the existent projects using the endpoint
GET /projects:
-
The default project is always created automatically, it shouldn’t be removed.
-
And get specific information using the endpoint GET /projects/{id}
If we want to generate reports for this specific project we need to use the same Action Endpoints that we used for a single project, but the difference now is we need to use the query parameter project_id to specify our new project.
For example if we want to get the latest report for a single project, generally we execute this command:
This command will return the latest report from the default project as you see in the url above
If we want to get the latest report from our new project we need to execute this one:
You can appreciate the difference in the path /projects/{PROJECT_ID}/....
You can use any Action Endpoints, but don’t forget to pass the parameter project_id with the right project id that you want to interact with it.
‘GET’ /latest-report?project_id=my-project-id
‘POST’ /send-results?project_id=my-project-id
‘GET’ /generate-report?project_id=my-project-id
‘GET’ /clean-results?project_id=my-project-id
‘GET’ /clean-history?project_id=my-project-id
‘GET’ /emailable-report/render?project_id=my-project-id
‘GET’ /emailable-report/export?project_id=my-project-id
‘GET’ /report/export?project_id=my-project-id
We are going to attach our volume NOT for our local allure-results. For this case is necessary to store the information regarding all our projects. The project structure is this one:
projects
|-- default
| |-- results
| |-- reports
| | |-- latest
| | |-- ..
| | |-- 3
| | |-- 2
| | |-- 1
|-- my-project-id
| |-- results
| |-- reports
| | |-- latest
| | |-- ..
| | |-- 3
| | |-- 2
| | |-- 1
NOTE:
- You MUST NOT MODIFY MANUALLY the structure directory of any project, you could affect the right behaviour.
- If you don’t attach your volume with the proper path
/app/projects you will lost the information about the projects generated for you.
PORT 4040 Deprecated
The first versions of this container used port 4040 for Allure Report and port 5050 for Allure API.
The latest version includes new features Multiple Projects & Navigate detailed previous history/trends. These improvements allow us to handle multiple projects and multiple history reports.
The only change required from your side is start using only port 5050 and instead to use http://localhost:4040/ for rendering Allure report you should use http://localhost:5050/allure-docker-service/latest-report
If you are mounting your volume -v ${PWD}/allure-results:/app/allure-results your allure results are being used and stored in default project internally in the container, you don’t need to change your volume path directory or do anything else. If you want to keep the history reports start to attach another path -v ${PWD}/allure-reports:/app/default-reports.
If you are already using port 4040, NO WORRIES. The Allure Report exposed in port 4040 will still being rendered for avoiding compatibility problems.
The only issue you will face will be when you try to navigate the HISTORY from the TREND chart or any other widget aiming to any historic data. The error you will see is HTTP ERROR 404 NOT FOUND

To see your latest report simply open your browser and access to:
The latest report is generated automatically and sometimes could be not available temporary until the new latest report has been generated. If you access to the latest report url when is not available you will see the NOT FOUND page. It will take a few seconds until the latest report be available again.
When you use the latest-report will be redirected to the resource url:
When you start the container for a single report, the default project will be created automatically, for that reason you are redirected to this endpoint to get information about default project, you can see this in the path .../projects/default/...
The redirect=false parameter is used to avoid be redirected to the GET /projects/{id} endpoint (default behaviour)
Now we can run other tests without being worried about Allure server. You don’t need to restart or execute any Allure command.
Just go again to this directory allure-docker-java-testng-example via command line:
cd allure-docker-java-testng-example
And execute another suite test:
mvn test -Dtest=SecondTest
When this second test finished, refresh your browser and you will see there is a new report including last results tests.
We can run the same test suite again and navigate the history:
You can repeat these steps, but now execute the third and fourth test
mvn test -Dtest=ThirdTest
mvn test -Dtest=FourthTestFactory

curl http://localhost:5050/allure-docker-service/version
or you can request without the prefix like in previous versions
curl http://localhost:5050/version
For accessing Security Endpoints, you have to enable the security. Check Enable Security section.
Send results through API
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.12.1
After running your tests, you can execute any script to send the generated results from any node/agent/machine to the Allure Docker server container using the Allure API. Use the endpoint POST /send-results.
You have 2 options to send results:
Content-Type - application/json
python send_results.py
python send_results_security.py
./send_results.ps1
Content-Type - multipart/form-data
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.13.3
./send_results.sh
./send_results_security.sh
NOTE:
Force Project Creation Option
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.13.6
If you use the query parameter force_project_creation with value true, the project where you want to send the results will be created automatically in case doesn’t exist.
POST /send-results?project_id=any-unexistent-project&force_project_creation=true
Customize Executors Configuration
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.13.3
When you use the GET /generate-report, you will see this in your report:
If you want to change the execution name, you need to pass a parameter named execution_name with the value. Example:
GET /generate-report?execution_name=my-execution-name
If you want to change the execution from (by default is empty), you need to pass a parameter named execution_from with the value. Example:
GET /generate-report?execution_from=http://my-jenkins-url/job/my-job/7/
This option allow you to come back to your executor server.
If you want to change the execution icon (default is empty), you need to pass a parameter named execution_type with the value. Example:
GET /generate-report?execution_type=jenkins
If the type is not recognized it will take the default icon. You can use different types like:
The icons are based on the native Allure2 Framework:
API Response Less Verbose
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.13.1
Enable API_RESPONSE_LESS_VERBOSE environment variable if you are handling big quantities of files. This option is useful to avoid to transfer too much data when you request the API. Have in mind the json response structure will change.
environment:
API_RESPONSE_LESS_VERBOSE: 1
Switching version
You can switch the version container using frankescobar/allure-docker-service:${VERSION_NUMBER}.
Docker Compose example:
allure:
image: "frankescobar/allure-docker-service:2.44.0"
or using latest version:
allure:
image: "frankescobar/allure-docker-service:latest"
By default it will take last version: https://hub.docker.com/r/frankescobar/allure-docker-service/tags
Switching port
Inside of the container Allure API use port 5050.
You can switch the port according to your convenience.
Docker Compose example:
ports:
- "9292:5050"
Updating seconds to check Allure Results
Updating seconds to check results directory to generate a new report up to date.
Docker Compose example:
environment:
CHECK_RESULTS_EVERY_SECONDS: 5
Use NONE value to disable automatic checking results.
If you use this option, the only way to generate a new report up to date it’s using the Allure API.
environment:
CHECK_RESULTS_EVERY_SECONDS: NONE
CHECK_RESULTS_EVERY_SECONDS=3 It’s only useful for executions in yourLOCAL machine. With this option ENABLED the container detects any changes in the allure-results directory. Every time detects a new file, the container will generate a new report. The workflow will be the next:
- Start
allure-docker-service via docker-compose mounting the allure-results volume that your project will use to storage the results files. It’s recommended to use this configuration SINGLE PROJECT - LOCAL REPORTS
- Generate your allure results with any Allure Framework according technology (Allure/Cucumber/Java, Allure/Specflow/C#, Allure/CucumberJS/NodeJS, etc). Your results will be stored in a directory named
allure-results in any directory inside your project. Remember to use the same location that you are mounting when you start the docker container in the previous step. Also, never remove that allure-results directory, otherwise docker will lose the reference to that volume.
- Every time new results files are generated during every test execution, automatically the containers will detects those changes and it will generate a new report.
- You will see the report generated
- If you see multiple reports that it doesn’t represent the real quantity of executions it’s because the report is generated each time detects changes in the
allure-results directory including existing previous results files in that directory. That’s the reason is only useful locally.
CHECK_RESULTS_EVERY_SECONDS=NONE. This option is useful when you deploy allure-docker-service in a server and you are planning to feed results from any CI tool. With this option DISABLED the container won’t detect any changes in the allure-results directory (Otherwise, it’s higly cost if you handle multiple projects in terms of processor comsuption). The report won’t be generated until you generate the report on demand using the API GET /generate-report. This will be the workflow:
From any server machine:
- Deploy
allure-docker-service using Kubernetes or any other tool in any server. It’s recommended to use this configuration MULTIPLE PROJECTS - REMOTE REPORTS.
- Make sure the server is accessible from where your scripts are requesting the API.
From your automation tests project:
- Request endpoint
GET /clean-results (specify project if it’s needed) to clean all existing results. This will be BEFORE starting any test execution.
- Execute your tests and generate your allure results with any Allure Framework according technology (Allure/Cucumber/Java, Allure/Specflow/C#, Allure/CucumberJS/NodeJS, etc).
- Once all your tests were executed, send all your results generated recently using the endpoint
POST /send-results (specify project if it’s needed).
- You won’t see any report generated because at the moment you have only your results stored in the container.
- Now that you have all the info (allure results files) in the server, you can request the endpoint
GET /generate-report. This action will build the report to be show.
NOTE:
-
Scripts to interact with the API: Send results through API (Check commented code in the scripts).
-
If you execute GET /generate-report endpoint after every test execution, you will see multiple reports that doesn’t represent your executions, that is because the container is building the report taking in count existing results files. For that reason, we use the GET /clean-results endpoint before starting any new execution to delete all results not related the current execution.
Resume:
---EXECUTION 1---
1. Clean results files to avoid data from previous results files - GET /clean-results
2. Execute Suite1
3. Execute Suite2
4. Execute Suite3
5. Wait for all suites to finish
6. Send results using endpoints - POST /send-results
7. Generate report using endpoint - GET /generate-report
Report will include all suites results from this execution.
---EXECUTION 2---
Same steps from previous execution (don't forget to clean results first)
Keep History and Trends
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.12.1
Enable KEEP_HISTORY environment variable to work with history & trends
Docker Compose example:
environment:
KEEP_HISTORY: "TRUE"
From version 2.13.4 you can also use as value 1
environment:
KEEP_HISTORY: 1
If you want to clean the history use the Allure API.
Allure framework allow you to see the latest 20 executions in the history https://github.com/allure-framework/allure2/pull/1059
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.13.3
You can access to previous history clicking on the Allure image in the report. If the report is not available you will be redirected to the endpoint GET /projects/{id}
Also, Allure Docker Service by default keeps the latest 20 executions in the history, but you can extend that limit:
environment:
KEEP_HISTORY_LATEST: 28
or you can reduce it
environment:
KEEP_HISTORY_LATEST: 10
The latest directory contains the report from the last execution. On this case, the 29 directory contains the same report in the latest directory:
Override User Container
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.13.1
Override the user container in case your platform required it. The container must have permissions to create files inside directories like allure-results (Single Project) or projects (Multiple Project) or any other directory that you want to mount.
1000:1000 is the user:group for allure user
Docker Compose example:
user: 1000:1000
environment:
...
or you can pass the current user using environment variable
user: ${MY_USER}
environment:
...
MY_USER=$(id -u):$(id -g) docker-compose up -d allure
or from Docker you can use parameter --user
docker run --user="$(id -u):$(id -g)" -p 5050:5050 -e CHECK_RESULTS_EVERY_SECONDS=3 -e KEEP_HISTORY="TRUE" \
-v ${PWD}/allure-results:/app/allure-results \
-v ${PWD}/allure-reports:/app/default-reports \
frankescobar/allure-docker-service
Note: It’s not a good practice to use root user to manipulate containers.
Reference:
Start in DEV Mode
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.13.3
Enable dev mode, if you want to see the logs about api requests using the DEV_MODE environment variable.
Docker Compose example:
environment:
DEV_MODE: 1
NOTE:
- Don’t use this mode for live/prod environments.
Enable TLS
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.13.4
Enable TLS, if you want to implement https protocol using the TLS environment variable.
Docker Compose example:
environment:
TLS: 1
Enable Security
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.13.5
If you are going to publish this API, this feature MUST BE USED TOGETHER with Enable TLS, otherwise, your tokens can be intercepted and your security could be vulnerable. When you enable TLS, the cookies credentials will be stored as SECURE.
It’s recommended to use Allure Docker Service UI container New User Interface for accessing to the information without credentials problems.
You can define the ADMIN user credentials with env vars ‘SECURITY_USER’ & ‘SECURITY_PASS’
Also you need to enable the security to protect the endpoints with env var ‘SECURITY_ENABLED’.
Docker Compose example:
environment:
SECURITY_USER: "my_username"
SECURITY_PASS: "my_password"
SECURITY_ENABLED: 1
Where ‘SECURITY_PASS’ env var is case sensitive.
Note: Check Roles section if you want to handle different roles.
When the security is enabled, you will see the Swagger documentation (http://localhost:5050/allure-docker-service/swagger) updated with new security endpoints and specifying the protected endpoints.
If you try to use the endpoints GET /projects
curl -X GET http://localhost:5050/allure-docker-service/projects -ik
You will see this response
HTTP/1.1 401 UNAUTHORIZED

We are storing the cookies obtained in a file cookiesFile to use it in the next requests:
Now we try to request the protected endpoints using the cookies obtained from POST /login endpoint.
curl -X GET http://localhost:5050/allure-docker-service/projects -b cookiesFile -ik
Using the security cookies we will have access to any endpoint protected.

You need to pass the header X-CSRF-TOKEN (Cross-Site Request Forgery) if you request to endpoints with method type POST, PUT, PATCH & DELETE.
You can get the X-CSRF-TOKEN value from the cookie csrf_access_token which is obtained from the POST /login successfully response (check your cookies section).
Here we are extracting the value of csrf_access_token cookie from the cookiesFile file generated with the POST /login
CRSF_ACCESS_TOKEN_VALUE=$(cat cookiesFile | grep -o 'csrf_access_token.*' | cut -f2)
echo "csrf_access_token value: $CRSF_ACCESS_TOKEN_VALUE"
Once you get the csrf_access_token value you need to send it as header named X-CSRF-TOKEN
curl -X POST "http://localhost:5050/allure-docker-service/projects" \
-H "X-CSRF-TOKEN: $CRSF_ACCESS_TOKEN_VALUE" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"id": "my-project-id"
}' -b cookiesFile -ik

Content-Type: application/json

Server: waitress
{"data":{"id":"my-project-id"},"meta_data":{"message":"Project successfully created"}}
Refresh Access Token
If you want to avoid the user login each time the access token expired, you need to refresh your token
For refreshing the access token, you have to use the refresh_token_cookie and csrf_refresh_token
Here, we are extracting the value of csrf_refresh_token cookie from the cookiesFile file generated with the POST /login endpoint
CRSF_REFRESH_TOKEN_VALUE=$(cat cookiesFile | grep -o 'csrf_refresh_token.*' | cut -f2)
echo "csrf_refresh_token value: $CRSF_REFRESH_TOKEN_VALUE"
After that, we need to send csrf_refresh_token as header X-CSRF-TOKEN and the cookies file with the -b option.
curl -X POST http://localhost:5050/allure-docker-service/refresh -H "X-CSRF-TOKEN: $CRSF_REFRESH_TOKEN_VALUE" -c cookiesFile -b cookiesFile -ik
With -c options we are overriding the cookies file with the new tokens provided for POST /refresh endpoint.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
Access-Control-Allow-Origin:
Content-Length: 428

The Access Token expires in 15 mins by default. You can change the default behaviour with env var ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRES_IN_MINS
Docker Compose example:
environment:
ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRES_IN_MINS: 30
Also for development purposes, you can use the env var ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRES_IN_SECONDS
Docker Compose example:
environment:
ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRES_IN_SECONDS: 30
You should use the Refresh Token to avoid the user login again.
The Refresh token doesn’t expire by default. You can change the default behaviour with env var REFRESH_TOKEN_EXPIRES_IN_DAYS
Docker Compose example:
environment:
REFRESH_TOKEN_EXPIRES_IN_DAYS: 60
Also for development purposes you can use the env var REFRESH_TOKEN_EXPIRES_IN_SECONDS
Docker Compose example:
environment:
REFRESH_TOKEN_EXPIRES_IN_SECONDS: 10
NOTE:
- You can disable the expiration of any token using value 0.
Logout
We have 2 endpoints:
With DELETE /logout your current access_token will be invalidated. You need to pass as header the csrf_access_token token.
CRSF_ACCESS_TOKEN_VALUE=$(cat cookiesFile | grep -o 'csrf_access_token.*' | cut -f2)
echo "csrf_access_token value: $CRSF_ACCESS_TOKEN_VALUE"
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:5050/allure-docker-service/logout -H "X-CSRF-TOKEN: $CRSF_ACCESS_TOKEN_VALUE" -b cookiesFile -ik

{"meta_data":{"message":"Successfully logged out"}}
With DELETE /logout-refresh-token your current refresh_token will be invalidated and all cookies removed. You need to pass as header the csrf_refresh_token token:
CRSF_REFRESH_TOKEN_VALUE=$(cat cookiesFile | grep -o 'csrf_refresh_token.*' | cut -f2)
echo "csrf_refresh_token value: $CRSF_REFRESH_TOKEN_VALUE"
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:5050/allure-docker-service/logout-refresh-token -H "X-CSRF-TOKEN: $CRSF_REFRESH_TOKEN_VALUE" -b cookiesFile -ik

Roles
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.13.7
SECURITY_USER & SECURITY_PASS env vars are used to define the ADMIN user credentials who will have access to every endpoint. Also, there is another kind of user just with enough access to check the reports, this is the VIEWER user.
You can add this kind of user using SECURITY_VIEWER_USER & SECURITY_VIEWER_PASS env variables
Docker Compose example:
environment:
SECURITY_USER: "my_username"
SECURITY_PASS: "my_password"
SECURITY_VIEWER_USER: "view_user"
SECURITY_VIEWER_PASS: "view_pass"
SECURITY_ENABLED: 1
Note:
- Always you need to define the
ADMIN user.
SECURITY_USER & SECURITY_VIEWER_USER always need to be different.- Check Allure API to see what endpoints are exclusively for the
ADMIN role.
Make Viewer endpoints public
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.13.8
If you only want to protect the Admin endpoints and make public the viewer endpoints, then you can use the environment variable MAKE_VIEWER_ENDPOINTS_PUBLIC to make accessible the endpoints:
Docker Compose example:
environment:
SECURITY_USER: "my_username"
SECURITY_PASS: "my_password"
SECURITY_ENABLED: 1
MAKE_VIEWER_ENDPOINTS_PUBLIC: 1
Note:
- With
MAKE_VIEWER_ENDPOINTS_PUBLIC enabled, your viewer user (if you have someone defined) won’t have effect.
Scripts
./send_results_security.sh
python send_results_security.py
Multi-instance Setup
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.18.0
If you wish to use a setup with multiple instances, you will need to set JWT_SECRET_KEY env variables. Otherwise, requests may respond with Invalid Token - Signature verification failed.
Add Custom URL Prefix
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.13.5
Configure an url prefix if your deployment requires it (e.g. reverse proxy with nginx)
environment:
URL_PREFIX: "/my-prefix"
With this configuration you can request the API in this way too:
curl http://localhost:5050/my-prefix/allure-docker-service/version
Here’s an example config for nginx where allure is the name of the docker container
server {
listen 443 ssl;
ssl_certificate /certificate.cer;
ssl_certificate_key /certificate.key;
location /my-prefix/ {
proxy_pass http://allure:5050;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
}
}
NOTE:
- This feature is not supported when DEV_MODE is enabled.
Optimize Storage
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.13.7
---EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE---
When Allure generates reports, commonly created these files per report:
projects
|-- default
| |-- results
| |-- reports
| | |-- latest
| | | |-- data
| | | |-- export
| | | |-- history
| | | |-- plugins
| | | |-- widgets
| | | |-- favicon.icon
| | | |-- index.html
| | | |-- app.js
| | | |-- styles.css
| | |-- ..
The heaviest files are app.js & styles.css. They never changed their content.
When you enable the option OPTIMIZE_STORAGE those files are not stored in your reports directory, but they are consumed from a common location inside the container.
Docker Compose example:
environment:
OPTIMIZE_STORAGE: 1
Using this feature, your storage consumption will be reduce drastically.
NOTE:
- This feature doesn’t have a warranty to work with reports generated with different Allure native versions. For example, if any code is removed from
app.js or styles.css (from a newer version of the native Allure application) that you need to render your reports generated with previous versions, your report couldn’t be rendered, you will see a javascript error finding for a component that doesn’t exist anymore.
Export Native Full Report
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.13.1
You can export the native full report using the endpoint GET /report/export Allure API.
Customize Emailable Report
Available from Allure Docker Service version 2.12.1
You can render and export the emailable report using the endpoints GET /emailable-report/render and GET /emailable-report/export Allure API.
Override CSS
By default this report template is using Bootstrap css. If you want to override the css, just you need to pass the enviroment variable EMAILABLE_REPORT_CSS_CDN. Docker Compose example:
environment:
EMAILABLE_REPORT_CSS_CDN: "https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootswatch/4.3.1/sketchy/bootstrap.css"
You can use all these themes: https://bootswatch.com/ or any other boostrap css like https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.css
Override title
If you want override the title of the Emailable Report, just you need to pass the environment variable EMAILABLE_REPORT_TITLE.
environment:
EMAILABLE_REPORT_TITLE: "My Title"
Override server link
Functionality Deprecated
- Currently the latest version resolves the host automatically.
If you want the Emailable Report to redirect to your Allure server, just you need to pass the environment variable SERVER_URL.
environment:
SERVER_URL: "http://my-domain.com/allure-docker-service/latest-report"
Develop a new template
If you want to develop a new template, create a local directory (my-template as example) with a file named default.html. In that file you can create your own html template, you can use as guide this example: allure-docker-api/templates/default.html using Jinja syntax. Don’t rename your local template, always the file must be named default.html.
Mount that directory to the container like in the example and pass the environment variable FLASK_DEBUG with value 1.
This variable will allow you to use hot reloading, you can update the content of default.html locally and use the endpoint emailable-report/render (Allure API) to see your changes applied in the browser.
environment:
FLASK_DEBUG: 1
volumes:
- ${PWD}/my-template:/app/allure-docker-api/templates
Allure Customized Plugins
If you want to use your own Allure plugins you can mount your plugin directory
environment:
...
volumes:
- ${PWD}/my-plugin:/allure/plugins/my-plugin

Allure Options
Some frameworks/adaptors don’t support allure properties to set up links for Tracker Management Systems or Issue/Bug Trackers. In that case you need to set up ALLURE_OPTS environment variable:
- For Allure1 (XML results)
environment:
CHECK_RESULTS_EVERY_SECONDS: 1
ALLURE_OPTS: "-Dallure.tests.management.pattern=https://example.org/tms/%s -Dallure.issues.tracker.pattern=https://example.org/issue/%s"
- For Allure2 (JSON results). Generally it’s not necessary to do this because the properties are configured it in the adaptor/framework and stored in
allure-results directory. The properties format is different:
allure.link.mylink.pattern=https://example.org/mylink/{}
allure.link.issue.pattern=https://example.org/issue/{}
allure.link.tms.pattern=https://example.org/tms/{}
