rocket-hello-world

An extremely simple Rust/Rocket HTTP server available on Docker Hub.

Building

Using Cargo

Clone the project, cd into it, and build using cargo.

git clone https://github.com/Proxxa/rocket-hello-world.git
cd rocket-hello-world
cargo build [-r]

The executable will be in target/debug or target/release depending on whether you include -r.

Using Docker

There are two Dockerfiles provided with the project: Alpine and Busybox. Clone the project, cd into it, and build using one of the following commands:

docker build -t rocket-hello-world -f docker/Alpine
docker build -t rocket-hello-world -f docker/Busybox

Busybox will generate a slightly smaller docker image than Alpine, but the difference is negligible.

Running

With the executable

If you've built the executable, simply cd to its location and run it as you would any other file. On most linux systems, this would be ./rocket-hello-world.

With Cargo

Similar to building,

git clone https://github.com/Proxxa/rocket-hello-world.git
cd rocket-hello-world
cargo run [-r]

With Docker

From Docker Hub

There is an image available on Docker Hub. You can run it with the following command:

docker run proxxa/rocket-hello-world

From Source

1. Clone the project
2. cd into the folder
3. Build the desired docker file (docker/Alpine or docker/Busybox)
4. Run the local image.

git clone https://github.com/Proxxa/rocket-hello-world.git
cd rocket-hello-world
docker build -t rocket-hello-world -f docker/Busybox
docker run rocket-hello-world --name rocket-hello-world
