Source code for the default Cargo registry. Viewable online at crates.io.

This project is built on ember-cli and cargo, visit iamstef.net/ember-cli or doc.crates.io respectively for more information.

git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io.git
cd crates.io/
npm install -g yarn # if you don't have yarn
yarn
yarn run bower install

The website's frontend is built with Ember.js. This makes it possible to work on the frontend without running a local backend. To start the frontend run:

yarn run start:staging

This will run a local frontend using the staging backend (hosted on Heroku at staging-crates-io.herokuapp.com).

If you'd like to run the frontend with a specific backend endpoint, you can specify arguments to npm start. For example you can set the proxy to https://crates.io/ to use the production version.

Note: it is also possible to make changes to the production data

To do this, run:

yarn start -- --proxy https://crates.io
# or
yarn run start:live

Note: This requires npm 2.

Install phantomjs, typically: npm install phantomjs-prebuilt.

Then run the tests with:

yarn run ember test
yarn run ember test --server

After cloning the repo, steps for setting up the backend API server are as follows:

1. Copy the .env.sample file to .env and change any applicable values as directed by the comments in the file. Make sure the values in your new .env are exported in the shell you use for the following commands.

2. Set up the git index:

   ./script/init-local-index.sh
   

   But do not modify your ~/.cargo/config yet. Do that after step 3.

3. Build the server:

   cargo build
   

   On OS X 10.11, you will need to install the openssl headers first, and tell cargo where to find them. See https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl#osx.

4. Run the migrations:

   ./target/debug/migrate
   

5. Start the backend server:

   ./target/debug/server
   

6. Optionally start a local frontend:

   yarn run start:local
   

1. Configure the location of the test database. Note that this should just be a blank database, the test harness will ensure that migrations are run.

   export TEST_DATABASE_URL=...
   

2. Set the s3 bucket to alexcrichton-test. No actual requests to s3 will be made; the requests and responses are recorded in files in tests/http-data and the s3 bucket name needs to match the requests in the files.

   export S3_BUCKET=alexcrichton-test
   

3. Run the backend API server tests:

   cargo test
   

The list of categories available on crates.io is stored in src/categories.toml. To propose adding, removing, or changing a category, send a pull request making the appropriate change to that file as noted in the comment at the top of the file. Please add a description that will help others to know what crates are in that category.

For new categories, it's helpful to note in your PR description examples of crates that would fit in that category, and describe what distinguishes the new category from existing categories.

After your PR is accepted, the next time that crates.io is deployed the categories will be synced from this file.

DISCLAIMER: The process of setting up a mirror is a work-in-progress and is likely to change. It is not currently recommended for mission-critical production use. It also requires a version of cargo newer than 0.13.0-nightly (f09ef68 2016-08-02); the version of cargo currently on rustc's beta channel fulfils this requirement and will be shipped with rustc 1.12.0 scheduled to be released on 2016-09-29.

This mirror will function as a read-only duplicate of crates.io's API. You will be able to download crates using your index and your mirror, but the crate files will still come from crates.io's S3 storage.

Your mirror will not:

• Allow users to sign up/sign in
• Allow crate publish
• Keep track of any statistics
• Display available crates in its UI

To deploy the API on Heroku, use this button:

The only config variable you need to set is GIT_REPO_URL, which should be the git URL of your crates index repository; see the next section for setup instructions for that.

You also need a mirror of the crates.io git index, and your index needs to point to your API server.

1. git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index.git

2. Edit the config.json file to point to your API server so it looks like:

   {
     "dl": "https://[your heroku app name].herokuapp.com/api/v1/crates",
     "api": "https://[your heroku app name].herokuapp.com/"
   }

3. Commit and push to wherever you will be hosting your index (ex: github, gitlab, an internal git server)

4. In order to keep your mirror index up to date, schedule a git pull of the official index. How to do this depends on how you are hosting your index, but could be done through cron or a scheduled CI job, for example.

NOTE: The following configuration requires a cargo version newer than 0.13.0-nightly (f09ef68 2016-08-02). The version of cargo that comes with rust 1.12.0 fulfils this requirement; this version is currently on the beta channel and is scheduled to be released on 2016-09-29.

In the project where you want to use your mirror, change your .cargo/config to replace the crates.io source to point to your crates index:

[source]

[source.mirror]
registry = "https://[host and path to your git server]/crates.io-index"

[source.crates-io]
replace-with = "mirror"
registry = 'https://doesnt-matter-but-must-be-present'

Once rust-lang/cargo#3089 is released, it won't be necessary to specify a registry URL for a source being replaced.
