gladiators-player-service

The Player Service of Gladiators

Saves unique player-names and their id in a postgres database.

Technology

• Written in Rust
  • tide as HTML-Server
  • async-std as asynchronous runtime
  • sqlx to interface with postgres
• Postgres database
  • Running as a docker-container

Postgres

Docker

To start postgres as a docker container run the command below.

docker run \
    --name=player_db \
    -e POSTGRES_DB=gladiators_player_service \
    -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=unsecure_password \
    -p 5432:5432 \
    -d postgres:13-alpine

Obvious heads-up there is nothing secure about the way the password is hard-coded into the docker-command and the script. I will change this behavior in a future commit, even if, in the end, this is just an educational project.

Initialization

To create the 'players' table and populate the database with test-data, run.

psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -d gladiators_player_service -a -f sql/up.sql
psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -d gladiators_player_service -a -f sql/example_data.sql

Container

Building the services container is pretty straightforward. The actual build happens while building the container, so that you don't need to install cargo or rustup to do this.

⚠️ This will use a lot of resources. Do not run this on a machine without a decent amount of resources.

docker build . -t voigtsebastian/gladiator-player-service:debug
docker run \
    --name=player_service \
    -p 8080:8080 -d voigtsebastian/gladiator-player-service:debug
