Rust

Complete guide to host Rust applications on Discloud.

📁 Preparing the Files

Before uploading your project, you must exclude unnecessary files to optimize the deployment.

❌ Files to Exclude

Ensure the following files and directories are not included in your .zip:

- Cargo.lock
- target/
- git

📌 Use a .discloudignore file to automatically exclude these files.

🌐 Hosting Your Site with Rocket

Before deploying your website or API on Discloud, ensure that you meet the following requirements:

Port 8080 is mandatory – Applications must listen on this port.

🚀 Configuring Rocket

Rocket is a web framework for Rust that requires the nightly version of Rust. To set up and deploy a Rocket project on Discloud, follow these steps:

1

Set the Nightly Version of Rust.

Run the following command in the terminal to ensure your project is using the nightly version:

rustup override set nightly

2

Create the rust-toolchain.toml File.

To make sure the nightly version of Rust is used, create a file named rust-toolchain.toml in the project’s root directory with the following content:

rust-toolchain.toml

[toolchain]
channel = "nightly"

This file tells rustup to use the nightly version of Rust.
