Rusty (diesel rocket) magnets

This is a small website for browsing magnet links from the internet written in Rust. The work started in https://github.com/Alko89/todo. This is a cleaned up project set up for further development.

Todo

1. Write web crawlers in Rust.

2. Pagination on the GUI is not the best yet.

3. Move database to MySQL or Postgre.

Running

Before running, building, or testing, you'll need to ensure the following:

1. A SQLite database file with the proper schema is present.

```
cargo install diesel_cli                      # install diesel CLI tools
mkdir db                                      # create db folder
DATABASE_URL=db/db.sql diesel migration run   # create db/db.sql
```

2. Export DATABASE_URL environment variable that points to the SQLite database file.

   • export DATABASE_URL=db/db.sql

3. Run crawler and server.

   • cargo run --bin crawler
   • cargo run --bin server
