Rust Builder Machine

When you really need to compile the Rust app against Linux, but you don't have one

To build your app/library on this Docker container, simply execute the following line from your project directory:

docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/app skitsanos/rust-builder-machine cargo build --release

Or, to reuse the container:

docker run --name rust-project -it -v "$(pwd)":/app skitsanos/rust-builder-machine /root/.cargo/bin/cargo build --release

Just in case, the Rust binaries can be found on the Docker image at /root/.cargo/bin

Lua support

This docker image comes with LuaJIT preinstalled, so Lua modules can be compiled and tested on the same container.

You can execute your code on LuaJIT like this:

docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/app skitsanos/rust-builder-machine luajit -e "print('Testing the Lua')"

So the whole thing can be wrapped in the following shell script:

docker start rust-app || docker container create --name rust-app --rm -v "$(pwd)":/app skitsanos/rust-builder-machine
docker exec -it rust-app cargo build --release

mkdir -p "target/.linux/"

RAW_LIB_PATH=$(find target/release -name '*.so' -maxdepth 1 -type file)
mv $RAW_LIB_PATH target/.linux/my_module.so

docker exec -w /app/target/.linux/ rust-app luajit -e "require('my_module').hello('world')"
