Use locally installed plantuml (instead of server)

[jonblack]

When a plantuml diagram has invalid syntax a call is made to plantuml which returns a 404 response, and then the error image is shown.

I would expect a locally installed version of plantuml to be used for all generation. I'm not sure if the plantuml demo server is used for all plantuml generation but I hope not since that would mean it won't work when there's no internet connection (and if the plantuml demo server ever disappears).

It also has privacy implications. Anyone sniffing packets on the same network, compromised routers, and even your beloved ISP can very easily see the images you're creating.

[ehhc]

you can change which planuml server you use in the settings (Preferences -> Interface -> PlantUML Server (at the bottom of the settings)).
So if you have a local planUML server running, you can simply use this :)

@jonblack Is this issue resolved?

[jonblack]

It's not that nice to have to setup a local plantuml server just for boostnote, and I can imagine some users aren't able to do that since the you need to clone the repository and either run maven or the docker image, which is quite technical.
