# Rust Blog CMS

A simple blog CMS built with Rust, Axum, Askama, and SQLite.

## Prerequisites

- [Rust & Cargo](https://rustup.rs/) (latest stable version)

## Configuration

1. Copy the `.env.example` file to create your local `.env` file:
   ```bash
   cp .env.example .env
   ```

2. Open the `.env` file and set your environment variables:
   - `PORT`: The port your server will listen on (default is `3000`).
   - `DATABASE_URL`: The connection string for your SQLite database (default is `sqlite://data.db`).

## Database Setup

*If you are using the `sqlx` CLI, you can create the database with:*

```bash
cargo install sqlx-cli --no-default-features --features rustls,sqlite
sqlx database create
```
*(Optionally run migrations if any exist: `sqlx migrate run`)*


## Running the app

To start the server, simply run:

```bash
cargo run
```

Then, open your web browser and navigate to `http://localhost:3000` (or whichever port you configured).

## Run with Docker

You can also run this project using Docker.

### Using Docker Compose (Recommended)

To start the application and its dependencies (like the database and attachment storage):

```bash
docker-compose up -d --build
```

The application will be accessible at `http://localhost:3000`. Persistent data (the database and attachments) will be stored in the local directory.

### Using Docker Directly

1. Build the image:
   ```bash
   docker build -t blog-cms .
   ```

2. Run the container:
   ```bash
   docker run -d \
     -p 3000:3000 \
     -v $(pwd)/data.db:/app/data.db \
     -v $(pwd)/attachments:/app/attachments \
     --name blog-cms \
     blog-cms
   ```
