Development

In development the static files are served by the application. In production the expectation is that nginx will do this.

flash-watcher -w src -w templates -rn 'cargo dev'

If changes are made to the static pages, you need to run make.

Images

Resize:

magic public/images/ulead-photoimpact5.jpg -set filename:name '%t' -resize x240 -quality 80 'public/images/%[filename:name]-thumb.jpg'

Bake rotation in:

mogrify -auto-orient image.jpg

Deployment

There are two parts:

1. Running the Rust binary
2. Building the static files

The Rust binary is installed as a Chimera package and run with dinit. /usr/lib/dinit.d/nonsense.env is created to set env vars for the process.

Since the Rust binary needs the templates anyway, the static files are built on the host, instead of building them remotely and syncing them.

Ensure git-lfs is installed.
