Build

In development

cargo run

Initialise database (this may change in the future)

cargo install sqlx
sqlx database create
sqlx migrate run

Compile typescript

npm i -g typescript # first time only
tsc --watch # compiles on save

Compile for production

tsc
cargo build --production # optimises performance

Run in production

./target/release/filesharing

Alternatively you can use Docker. To set that up, create a compose.yaml file in the parent directory of this project with this content:

version: '3.9'

services:
  filehost:
    container_name: fileshare
    build: ./Fileshare
    restart: unless-stopped
    env_file:
      - .env
    volumes:
      - ./Fileshare/files:/usr/src/fileshare/files
      - ./Fileshare/db:/usr/src/fileshare/db
      - ./Fileshare/assets:/usr/src/fileshare/assets
      - ./Fileshare/target/release:/usr/src/fileshare/release
    user: 1000:1000
    ports:
      - '3000:3000' # remove this if you're using Caddy/Nginx

Put the .env file next to the .compose.yaml file and run

# Prepare the binary
cd Fileshare
cargo build --release
tsc # assumes you've already installed typescript globally with npm
cd ..
# Build and run the docker container
docker compose build
docker compose up
