Rust Blog CMS

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

Prerequisites

• Rust & Cargo (latest stable version)

Configuration

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

   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:

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:

cargo run

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