PKA Index Backend

This repo holds the backend code for https://www.pkaindex.com.

To run locally:

To develop/test

1. Download rust: https://rustup.rs/.
2. (Optional) Install Diesel CLI for making changes to DB (You will need to install sqlite3 even if you skip this step): https://github.com/diesel-rs/diesel/tree/master/diesel_cli
3. Download and install redis. Make sure redis-server is running on its default port 6379.
4. Modify your hosts file and add the following entries if they aren't there already:
   • 127.0.0.1 redis
   • 0.0.0.0 pkaindextest.com www.pkaindextest.com
5. Create a folder somewhere i.e /Users/zak/Selfsigned/ and generate self-signed SSL Certificate in this folder:
   • NOTE: When openssl asks you to enter Common name: put pkaindextest.com
   • openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out /Users/zak/Selfsigned/pkaindextest.pem -keyout /Users/zak/Selfsigned/pkaindextest.key -newkey rsa:2048
6. Modify nginx.conf from this project and replace the lines that have YOUR_SELF_SIGNED_KEY_DIRECTORY with the folder you created in the previous step. i.e /Users/zak/Selfsigned/
7. Install nginx and create the directories sites-enabled and sites-available in your /etc/nginx directory.
8. Copy the contents from nginx.conf into a file called pkaindextest.com inside sites-availabled
9. Create a symbolic link between the file in sites-available and sites-enabled using the command: ln -s /opt/homebrew/etc/nginx/sites-available/pkaindextest.com /opt/homebrew/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/pkaindextest.com
10. Modify nginx.conf in your system so that your http block includes this line: include sites-available/*;;
11. Start nginx.
12. Generate YouTube API key from https://console.developers.google.com/ and save as env variable named: YT_API_KEY. Can pass empty string if you want however this means episodes won't be updated.
13. Run the rust server
    • To run in debug mode: run cargo run from project root.
    • To run in release (optimized) mode: run cargo run --release from project root.
14. Rust should now be serving an API from http://0.0.0.0:1234.
15. Visit https://pkaindextest.com in your browser. (Firefox will work but for Chrome you will need to import the Self Signed SSL certificate manually.)

Test With Docker - Note this is creating an optimized build so not suitable for development.

1. docker build -t zakism/pka-index-backend:latest .
2. docker run -p 1234:1234 zakism/pka-index-backend:latest
3. Rust should now be serving an API from http://0.0.0.0:1234.

Alternative way to test backend and frontend with docker:

1. docker-compose up -d
