promote-release is the tool used by the Rust project to publish new releases
of the Rust toolchain.
It's possible to run the promote-release tool locally without access to any
production credential, to ease testing changes made to it. You need to make
sure to have docker and docker-compose installed on your local system, and
you need to start the local environment by running:
docker-compose up
This will start an instance of MinIO and build a local container tailored to run the release process on. Once the local environment is up and running, you can start a release with one of the following commands:
./run.sh nightly
./run.sh beta
./run.sh stable
Once the release is done, you can use it with rustup by setting the following
environment variable while calling rustup:
RUSTUP_DIST_SERVER="http://localhost:9000/static"
You can also release a specific commit by providing its full hash as the second
argument of ./run.sh:
./run.sh nightly 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
To save on time and bandwidth, when running a release locally the tooling won't include all files present in a proper release, but to save on bandwidth and storage only a small subset of it is included (on 2020-09-16 a full release weights 27GB).
You can add additional files by tweaking the environment variables in
local/run.sh.
You can access the contents of the object storage by visiting http://localhost:9000/minio and logging in with:
- Access Key:
access_key - Secret Key:
