Building with cross

Prerequisites

• Rust & Cargo (Install through rustup) https://www.rust-lang.org/learn/get-started
• Docker https://www.docker.com/
• Cross https://github.com/cross-rs/cross

This is the quickest no-hassle method for building the server

Install cross

You will need to install cross, you can do this using the following command:

cargo install cross --git https://github.com/cross-rs/cross

note

The command above will build and install cross from source. Cross also has other installation methods such as pre-compiled binaries, see the Github for more details

Building

You can now build the server with the following command:

cross build -p docbox --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl --release

info

Docker must be running for this command to work. Cross will spin up a temporary container to perform your build
