Lekko Sidecar

Development

Start with the rust section of Getting Started

We have a rust-specific Makefile. Run make to run all cargo based steps.

Regenerating protos

You need a few external dependencies to re-build the proto & grpc stubs.

cargo install protoc-gen-prost
cargo install protoc-gen-prost-crate
cargo install protoc-gen-tonic

To regenerate protos, run

make generate

Building docker files

Run:

make dockerbuild

Or if you want an image for amd64 run:

make dockerbuild amd64

Deploying

Running the dockerfile for now:

docker run -d -t --rm --name sidecar -p 50051:50051 -e RUST_BACKTRACE=1 docker.io/lekko/sidecar:latest
