Building

Development Build

cargo run -p storeit-server    # compiles and runs

Production Build

make build-all    # builds frontend, then cargo build --release

This produces a single binary at target/release/storeit-server with the frontend embedded.

What make build-all Does

1. make frontend-build — runs npm run build in frontend/, producing frontend/dist/
2. make build — runs make prepare then SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo build --workspace --release

The storeit-server crate uses rust-embed to embed frontend/dist/ into the binary at compile time.

Cross-Compilation

The project targets these platforms (via CI):

The musl targets produce fully static binaries with no runtime dependencies.

Note: The webp crate depends on libwebp-sys, which compiles Google’s libwebp from source. This works correctly for all targets including musl.

Docker

docker build -t storeit .

The Docker image uses a multi-stage build: Rust compilation in a builder stage, then a minimal runtime image.
