## Minimum Supported Rust Version
Rust 1.70 or higher.
## Development Guide
Before getting started, you'll want to install:
- Rust toolchain (rustup recommended)
- Docker
- Git
- mold (optional, faster compilation)
> A **default.nix** is available for Nix users!
> Just run `nix-shell` and continue.
Now you can clone and build the project:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/revoltchat/backend revolt-backend
cd revolt-backend
cargo build
```
If you want to run the API and event servers:
```bash
# create environment file (will be deprecated in future)
cp .env.example .env
# (optionally) copy the default configuration file
cp crates/core/config/Revolt.toml Revolt.toml
# configure as necessary...
```
You may want to copy the following configuration:
```toml
# Revolt.toml
[database]
mongodb = "mongodb://localhost"
redis = "redis://localhost"
[hosts]
app = "http://local.revolt.chat"
api = "http://local.revolt.chat:8000"
events = "ws://local.revolt.chat:9000"
autumn = "http://local.revolt.chat:3000"
january = "http://local.revolt.chat:7000"
voso_legacy = ""
voso_legacy_ws = ""
```
Then continue:
```bash
# start other necessary services
docker compose up -d
# run the API server
cargo run --bin revolt-delta
# run the events server
cargo run --bin revolt-bonfire
# hint:
# mold -run <cargo build, cargo run, etc...>
```
You can start a web client by doing the following:
```bash
# if you do not have yarn yet and have a modern Node.js:
corepack enable
# clone the web client and run it:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/revoltchat/revite
cd revite
yarn
yarn build:deps
yarn dev --port 3001
```
Then go to https://local.revolt.chat:3001
## Deployment Guide
### Cutting new crate releases
Begin by bumping crate versions:
```bash
just patch # 0.0.X
just minor # 0.X.0
just major # X.0.0
```
Then commit the changes to package files.
Proceed to publish all the new crates:
```bash
just publish
```
### Cutting new binary releases
Tag and push a new release by running:
```bash
just release
```
If you have bumped the crate versions, proceed to [GitHub releases](https://github.com/revoltchat/backend/releases/new) to create a changelog.
## Testing
First, start the required services:
```sh
docker compose -f docker-compose.db.yml up -d
```
Now run tests for whichever database:
```sh
TEST_DB=REFERENCE cargo nextest run
TEST_DB=MONGOBD cargo nextest run
```
