scotty -- yet another micro platform as a service is a Rust server providing an API to create, start, stop or destroy a Docker Compose-based application on your own hardware.

The repo contains two applications:

• scotty a Rust-based HTTP server providing an API to talk with the service and to start, stop and run Docker Compose-based applications. The service provides a user interface at e.g. http://localhost:21342/. The API is documented at http://localhost:21342/rapidoc
• scottyctl, a CLI application to talk with the service and execute commands from your shell

Please have a look at the detailed installation instructions here

You need to pass the address to the server to the CLI, either by providing the --server-argument or by setting the SCOTTY_SERVER env-var.

scottyctl help

will show some help and a list of available commands. You can get help with scottyctl help <command>. A complete list of commands is available here

Make sure to leverage scottyctl completion $SHELL to get autocompletion for your shell, see here.

The CLI needs only two environment variables to work:

• SCOTTY_SERVER the address of the server
• SCOTTY_ACCESS_TOKEN the bearer token to use

You can provide the information either via env-vars or by passing the --server and --access-token arguments to the CLI.

We welcome contributions! Please fork the repository, create a feature branch and submit a pull-request.

• Try to add tests for your bug fixes and features.
• Use conventional commits

To run the server locally you need to have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your local machine. You also need a recent Rust toolchain. To get things up and running please start Traefik with:

cd apps/traefik
docker-compose up -d

and then start the server with:

cargo run --bin scotty  or your preferred way to run a rust binary

This project uses a pre-push git-hook installed by cargo husky. It should be installed automatically.

We are using git-cliff to enforce a changelog. Please update the changelog with the following command:

git cliff > changelog.md

We are using cargo-release to patch up a new release, this is a typical command to create a new release:

cargo release --no-publish alpha -x --tag-prefix ""

Adapt to your current needs.
