Nidobyte

Server for hosting for your Pijul projects written in Rust.

Installing

  • Database is Postgresql, DATABASE_URL must be exposed as environment variable
  • ROCKET_SECRET_KEY contains the cookie encryption key, and must be set too.
  • REPOSITORY_ROOT will be used as storage root for repositories, and must be supplied

Development

This project uses nix to ensure dependencies are met and the development environments are reproducable. Please install Nix by following the install instructions.

When nix-shell is in your $PATH, execute: nix-shell. Nix will download and manage dependencies for you. Nix will also start a postgresql server and initiate the database.

To start the server run: cargo run.

Database migrations

This project uses sqlx to integrate with the database. Migrations are run when Rocket lifts off (boots its runtime).

Generating a new migrations is done by running: sqlx migrate add -r <description>. Note both an up and down migration are required.

Getting started with Pijul

  • pijul init to start a repository
    • rm -rf .git if tooling already created a Git repository
  • mv .gitignore .ignore to ignore local only files
  • Set the author of patches for this machine by writing TOML:
[author]
name = "<alias or short name>"
full_name = "<full name>"
email = "<email address>"

For MacOs write it to: ~/.pijulconfig
