baz_out

This is a little program that works together with castle. baz_out locks the lock if there was no change for a certain period of time.

baz_out realizes this by accessing a castle /lock endpoint, where the response contains a last_change JSON field which is the timestamp of the last change.

Build

$ cargo build

With Nix

$ nix-build

With Nix you can also easily cross-compile baz_out:

$ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' \
    --arg crossSystem '{ config = "aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu"; }' \
    --arg overlays '[ (self: super: { baz_out = super.callPackage ./. {}; }) ]' \
    -A baz_out

Configuration

In the working directory where baz_out is executed, there must be a baz_out.toml configuration file. A good start is to copy the baz_out.toml.example from this repository.
