Rust Web Starter

Basic Rust Web Server template based on rocket-rs.

Dependencies

We need rust 1.67+ or above stable installed. They all have the improvements we need for building things fast and known compatibility for Rocket v0.5rc3+.

Rust Configuration in your .bashrc and .zshrc

export CARGO_HOME=$HOME/.cargo
PATH=$PATH:$CARGO_HOME/bin

To speed up builds, it is suggested you use the mold linker, currently supported on Linux and Darwin. You can set this up in your Cargo Configuration in ~/.cargo/config.toml.

You could set up sccache as well but there are some crates where it does not make a real difference.

[build]
# rustc-wrapper = "sccache"

[target.x86_64-apple-darwin]
#linker = "/usr/bin/clang"
rustflags = ["-C", "link-arg=--ld-path=/path/to/ld64.mold"]

[target.aarch64-apple-darwin]
#linker = "/usr/bin/clang"
rustflags = ["-C", "link-arg=--ld-path=/path/to/ld64.mold"]

[target.i686-pc-windows-msvc]
#rustflags = []

[target.x86_64-pc-windows-msvc]
#rustflags = []

[target.i686-unknown-linux-gnu]
#linker = "/usr/bin/gcc"
rustflags = ["-C", "link-arg=-fuse-ld=mold"]

[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]
#linker = "/usr/bin/gcc"
rustflags = ["-C", "link-arg=-fuse-ld=mold"]

[target.aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu]
#linker = "/usr/bin/gcc"
rustflags = ["-C", "link-arg=-fuse-ld=mold"]
