How to serve Allure Report without automatically starting the browser

Question

When i start the allure, the server always attempts to start the browser:

$ /home/allure/allure-2.3.4/bin/allure serve target/allure-results -p 5012
    Generating report to temp directory...
    Report successfully generated to /tmp/779851636804605067/allure-report
    Starting web server...

    Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":99".

The problem is not in the error, but in the launch, I don't need to start it on this host. How do I start the allure server without starting the browser?

You can use the docker container Allure Docker Service, recognize the results automatically and update the reports without doing anything: https://github.com/fescobar/allure-docker-service
