This repository contains demo code for my YouTube programming learning series about Rust, React, TypeScript, Docker, Terraform and Kubernetes. For this project, we're creating foodi, a meal logging tool.
Please note, the project is not yet finished. If you'd like to follow along, ask questions, or participate:
When complete, this repo will have the following features:
- Rust & Diesel based backend
- React, Mobx, and TypeScript based frontend
- Docker image with frontend & backend all-in-one
- Terraform for managing a GKE cluster on GCP
- Kubernetes manifest for running on GKE
You can find the videos on YouTube below:
In the series, we're building foodi, a web-based meal logger/tracking tool.
To build the Rust backend, you will need to install the Rust nightly build with rustup. First, go to https://rustup.rs/ and install rustup. Then, install Rust nightly:
$ rustup default nightly
...Once you have the nightly build installed, you can build the backend.
$ cd foodi-backend
$ cargo build
...To create the initial database schema, run the migration scripts using
diesel:
$ cargo install diesel_cli --no-default-features --features sqlite
...
$ diesel migration run --database-url database.sqlite
...Lastly, you can now run the backend server:
$ cargo runTo build and run the frontend assets and server, you will need a recent version of Node.js and Yarn installed. Using homebrew on macOS, you can install it with homebrew:
$ brew install yarn
...Install the frontend package dependencies using Yarn:
$ cd foodi-frontend
$ yarn install
...Use parcel to run the frontend development server:
$ parcel index.html
...Assuming you have Docker installed, run the build command from the top level of the repo:
$ docker build . -t foodi:latest
...Once the build completes, run the container, and map port 80 from inside the container to outside the container on port 8080 (on your host machine):
$ docker run -p 8080:80 foodi:latest
...🎉 Now you can open http://localhost:8080/ in your browser and test the app.
