RUST "Playspace" | Using Docker and Neovim

This repository has it role as a containerized development environment for building Rust applications.

The environment uses:

• Debian bookworm as a stable OS in combination with Neovim
• Rust toolchain (rustc, cargo, rust-analyzer).
• Neovim (v0.11.4) | As a preferred choice of coding.
• PostgreSQL | To integrate a database service for future applications
• The standard build tools (clang, lld, git..)

Prerequisites

• [Docker] (https://www.docker.com/get-started)
• [Docker Compose] (https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
• SSH Key for git authentication

Quick Start

0. SSH Key not added to Github/Gitlab already

 ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[email protected]"
 cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub << "Add this inside of GitHub or GitLab"
 # Test your key... 
 ssh -T [email protected]
 ssh -T [email protected] 

1. Clone the repository (with submodule for neovim config):

   git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/0Nulliu/rust_dev_environment
   cd rust_dev_environment

2. Prepare SSH: (step needs to be repeated on every access for safety) This environment uses SSH forwarding to securely handle Git credentials. Run these commands.

   eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
   ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
   newgrp docker (alternative is to add docker as a USER)

3. Build and start (only need to run once):

   docker-compose up -d --build

4. Enter the Docker:

   docker-compose up -d
   docker-compose exec dev bash

5. Happy days! and Happy coding!

 cd /home/devuser/project
 cargo new future_billion_dollar_company
 cd future_billion_dollar_company
 nvim .

6. When you're done shut down the containers

 docker-compose down

PostgreSQL is a bit shifty right now, future instructions will be given once I've set it up better.

Is neovim configured?

Yes there is a .nvim.conf situated inside of the ~/devuser/project
