Development Setup

To quickly make changes:

We have a docker-compose config that you can use to quickly spin up dev environment.

From the root of the repo, run:

$ docker-compose -d up

Logs from docker:

Logs from database and web server as they are generated:

$ docker-compose logs -f

from just webserver:

$ docker-compose logs -f mcaptcha

Setting up elaborate development environment

Toolchain

You'll have to install before you can start writing code.

Install Rust: Install Cargo(Rust toolchain) using rustup with:

$ curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Install Node v14.16.0: Please refer to official instructions
Install yarn: npm install -g yarn For more details, refer to official instructions
GNU Make: If you are on Linux, it's probably already installed on your machine.

You can check it's existence by running:

$ make --version

If it's not available, you download it with your package manager or refer to official instructions

External Dependencies:

Postgres databse:

The backend requires a Postgres database. We have compiletime SQL checks so without a database available, you won't be able to build the project.

I use Postgres in Docker.

To install Docker, please refer to [official instructions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/].
Create create database user:

$ docker create --name mcaptcha-postgres \
	-e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password \
	-p 5432:5432    postgres

Start database container:

$ docker start mcaptcha-postgres

Set configurations:

$ cd mcaptcha # your copy of https://github.com/mCaptcha/mcaptcha
$ echo 'export DATABASE_URL="postgres://postgres:password@localhost:5432/postgres"' > .env

NOTE: Don't use this database for other projects

Run migrations: This step is only required when migrations are updated. The server binary has inbuilt migrations manager but that can only be used after the server is compiled. Since we are trying to compile the server here, we can't use that.

However, this project ships with a utility to run migrations!

$ cd mcaptcha # your copy of https://github.com/mCaptcha/mcaptcha
$ cargo run --bin tests-migrate

That's it, you are all set!

Build commands:

Compile:

$ cd mcaptcha # your copy of https://github.com/mCaptcha/mcaptcha
$ make

Additional commands:

➜  mcaptcha git:(master) ✗ make help
