As I explore the lemmy code base I’m documenting what I learn for other’s so they may find it useful.
I like to mount code into a docker container and run cargo from the terminal.
The docker run instructions for lemmy in the docs are great but it requires a user to rebuild the rust container to see changes.
We can use volumes to just use cargo directly in the terminal.
This repo shows a tutorial of how i’m running lemmy and how you can use vscode to bring up a complete development environment.
It’s based on the regular docker environment. The difference being it gives you a complete Arch linux development environment you can mount in the terminal or directly in vscode.
Hope someone finds it useful.
:D I kinda do this when working on pict-rs. I have a container with the proper runtime dependencies, and then I
cargo build
on my hostI definitely recommend it over re-building a container for each change
specifically my pict-rs development looks like:
$ sudo docker run --rm -it -p 8080:8080 -v "$(pwd):/mnt" archlinux:latest /bin/sh # pacman -Syu --noconfirm imagemagick perl-image-exiftool ffmpeg # PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/vendor_perl ./mnt/target/debug/pict-rs -p /mnt/data
