A blog engine written in Rust, powered by SurrealDB. This project is responsible for the https://rust-dd.com blog.

• Rust
• SurrealDB
• TailwindCSS
• Leptos

To get started with running the project locally, follow the steps below. These commands will compile your stylesheets and set up a development server that watches for changes.

First, run the following script to set up your Surreal database:

./db.sh

cargo install surrealdb-migrations

surrealdb-migrations apply

Next, compile the CSS using TailwindCSS. This command will watch for changes in your CSS files and recompile them automatically:

npx tailwindcss -i input.css -o ./style/output.css --watch

Finally, run the Leptos development server. This will watch for changes in your project and automatically reload:

cargo leptos watch

We provide a Dockerfile that allows you to start the blog engine, connecting to an external SurrealDB. The connection details must be defined in the environment variables.

For containerizing the application, build the Docker image with the following command:

docker build . -t blog

Once the image is built, run it with:

docker run --env-file .env -p 8080:8080 blog
