Hosting Rust with Mongo

To host Rust on Container Hosting and connect to the Mongo database from it, you need to complete the following three steps.

1. Installing the project management utility

If your project files are in a Git repository, then installing the utility is not necessary, since you can run the project from the browser.

If you have installed the conhos utility earlier, then simply proceed to the next step. If you have not installed it, then use the Instructions to install it.

2. Creating a configuration file

If your project files are in a Git repository, you can create a configuration file from your browser.

Configuration file for creating a Rust service in Container Hosting with a Mongo database server running and connecting to it from an application, and an optional example of updating Adminer to administer the database. More details in the Configuration File.

Check the current version of the Mongo container in the official Mongo repository

name: my-rust-mongo-project
services:
  rust1:
    image: rust
    size: mili
    active: true
    version: ${{VERSION}}
    pwd: examples/rust-mongo
    exclude:
      - target
    command: cargo build --release && ./target/release/main
    ports:
      - port: 3000
        type: proxy
    depends_on: # The service should only start after the following services
      - mongo0 # mongo0 service
    environment:
      - PORT=3000
      # Next we forward the connection variables
      - MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=value0
      - MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=value1
  postgres0:
    type: mongo
    size: mili
    active: true
    version: latest
    environment:
      # Variables for initializing the database
      - MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_USERNAME=value0
      - MONGO_INITDB_ROOT_PASSWORD=value1

The database host will be accessible in the application container via the environment variable [SERVICE_NAME]_HOST, for example for the service mongo0 the name of the host variable inside the container that references this service via depends_on will be MONGO0_HOST

3. Launching a project in the cloud

To upload files to the cloud and run services in containers, run the command:

conhos deploy
