A simple blog built on Rust

About

This is my personal blog, and its also my first Rust project.

Why Rust

Well, I know there are a lot of alternatives to writing a blog, but I find other languages such as Java, Python, Javascript,Php, are not fancy enough ;-) Kidding, the truth is that I have learned Rust for more that a half years, but I still could not build real some stuff on Rust. Yes, I lack of idea or I not am skillful enough to fulfill my thought. Finally, I decided to rewrite my blog which was built on Github Page and Org-mode.

Getting Started

Requirement

Rust

Install Rust via shell script

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

After installing, you might need to

source $HOME/.cargo/bin

Because this project is built on Rocket, and Rocket depends on Rust nightly, so you need change Rust environment to nightly

rustup default nightly

Diesel Cli

This project use Diesel as Orm framework, so you need to install its command line tool via Rust package manager(eg, Cargo)

cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features postgres

Postgresql

you need to install Postgresql database, and then configure postgresql by following document’s guide

Init database

After everything is done, it is time to create table in database for this project, just run

diesel migration run

Launch Rocket

Everything is ok, now, launch Rocket:

cargo run

And open your favourite browser, enter localhost:8000

If you want to login admin page, you could enter localhost:8000/admin/login Email: [e-mail] Password: 123456
