Is the official docker container still working?

Question

I followed the instructions specified under "Using Docker" here: https://plantuml.com/starting
Specifically:

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 plantuml/plantuml-server:jetty

The plantuml server doesn't start though. I tried changing the port number, using the tomcat server instead of jetty, I tried with both "http://localhost:8080" and "http://localhost:8080/plantuml", but I get the error message as:

localhost didn’t send any data.

If it matters, I use docker inside WSL. Other docker containers such as rabbitmq, postgres, do work properly. 

Any hints on what could be the problem here, or what I should try next to figure out the problem?

A little late but...

For me it is working. I use it often to generate diagrams. perhaps your port is already in use by another container or application?
