rustup component add llvm-tools-preview

cargo install --version="~0.7" sqlx-cli --no-default-features --features rustls,postgres

Linux

# Ubuntu 
sudo apt-get install lld clang libssl-dev postgresql-client
# Arch 
sudo pacman -S lld clang postgresql

cargo install --version="~0.7" sqlx-cli --no-default-features --features rustls,postgres

MacOS

brew install michaeleisel/zld/zld

How to build

Launch a (migrated) Postgres database via Docker:

./scripts/init_db.sh

Launch a Redis instance via Docker:

./scripts/init_redis.sh

Launch cargo:

cargo build

You can now try with opening a browser on http://127.0.0.1:8000/login after having launch the web server with cargo run.

There is a default admin account with password everythinghastostartsomewhere. The available entrypoints are listed in src/startup.rs

How to test

Launch a (migrated) Postgres database via Docker:

./scripts/init_db.sh

Launch a Redis instance via Docker:

./scripts/init_redis.sh

Launch cargo:

cargo test
