thienpow/wwwloader repository overview

⁠What's this?

Just a tiny web server to host static web app. Built in Rust. Alpine enabled.

• 6.63 MB on docker hub.

⁠prepare vm

• prepare vm or another machine running Alpine,
• enable ssh connection,
• edit the configurations in build.sh so that the build process can build the binary on Alpine and rsync back the binary to the .build folder

⁠build the wwwloader

./build.sh

⁠edit start.sh

• un-remark the exports below for local test by using docker_run.sh
• remark it if you want to push to dockerhub, because the variable can be configured at docker-compose or kubernetes deployment. no need hardcode inside the docker.

export SERVICE_NAME="tiny-in-alpine"
export WWW_FOLDER="www"
export LISTEN_ON="0.0.0.0:3030"

⁠test build and run

docker_run.sh

⁠test a completed example by pulling from dockerhub

• check example folder.

cd example
docker-compose up --build

⁠Troubleshooting

• error when running ./docker_run.sh

thread 'main' panicked at 'Environment variable SERVICE_NAME is not defined: NotPresent', src/config.rs:17:27

• solution: read the "edit start.sh" above.
