@huedaya - Deploy Rust App using Github Action and Cargo Chef

Here simple Github Action workflow to deploy Rust web application easily. First create the .github/workflows/deploy.yml

yml

name: deploy

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    timeout-minutes: 10
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@master

      - name:  Build 📦
        run: |
          docker build -t app -f ./Dockerfile .
          # after this you can push your image to Container Registry
          # docker push app:latest

And so the Dockerfile on the root directory of your project or copy from here:

dockerfile

FROM clux/muslrust:stable AS chef
USER root
RUN cargo install cargo-chef
WORKDIR /app

FROM chef AS planner
COPY . .
RUN cargo chef prepare --recipe-path recipe.json

FROM chef AS builder
COPY --from=planner /app/recipe.json recipe.json
# Notice that we are specifying the --target flag!
RUN cargo chef cook --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl --recipe-path recipe.json
COPY . .
RUN cargo build --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl --bin app

FROM alpine AS runtime
RUN addgroup -S myuser && adduser -S myuser -G myuser
COPY --from=builder /app/target/x86_64-unknown-linux-musl/release/app /usr/local/bin/
USER myuser
ENV PORT=5000
ENV RUST_LOG=info
CMD ["/usr/local/bin/app"]

Before pushing your code to Github, you need to create recipe.json using command:

bash

cargo chef prepare --recipe-path recipe.json

That's it!
