Video game database. 🦀 Rust-powered deployable Docker container with the following:
- Rocket Rust server (it’s low resource and really stinking fast)
- sqlite database (why pay for expensive DB hosting when sqlite is free?)
- Tera HTML templating (the Rust equivalent of Jinja2)
Disregarding the “side project”-y nature of this repo, if you find use of any of this config, use this as an example.
The sqlite database lives in db/vgdb_create.sql. Update the seed data there, then run:
make db
This will rebuild the database.
Using the Nightly release of Rust (rustup default nightly), run the following commands:
cargo install
cargo run
This will start the server at localhost:8000 🚀🚀🚀
This project comes with a Docker image ready to deploy. Simply run:
make build
✨ sqlite can live within the same Docker container, saving you a separate DB deployment! Of course, this setup is readonly, and modifying the DB requires a redeploy. But for many projects this isn’t a concern, and you reap the benefits of a lightning fast colocated database, and the low-memory + multi-concurrent performance of a non-virtual DB.
