Server-Side Rendering with Rust

This repository demonstrates server-side rendering (SSR) using Rust, showcasing the integration of Axum, static HTML/JS/CSS files, and the Askama template engine. SSR is a powerful technique for building web applications that improves performance and SEO by rendering content on the server before sending it to the client.

Tech Stack Details

Axum Function

The core of this application utilizes the Axum web framework to handle HTTP requests and generate HTTP responses.

Static HTML

This application serves static HTML, JavaScript, and CSS files directly to the client. These files are pre-rendered and optimized for faster load times.

Askama Template

Askama is used as a template engine to generate HTML on the server based on provided templates. This allows for dynamic content rendering and customization.

Quick Start

To run the application locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/mikezupper/ssr-template-rs.git
   cd ssr-template-rs

2. Build and Run the Rust Application

cargo run

3. To test, visit the following urls

Axum Function

http://localhost:4000/

Static Html

http://localhost:4000/index_static.html

Askama Template

http://localhost:4000/index_tempalate.html

Devops

Build with Docker

To containerize the application, you can use Docker. Build a Docker image with the following command:

docker build . -t ssr-template-rs:latest

Run with Docker

After building the Docker image, you can run the application in a Docker container:

docker run -p 4000:4000 ssr-template-rs:latest

Build & Run with Docker Compose

For a more comprehensive deployment setup, you can use Docker Compose. It simplifies the process of managing containers and their dependencies:

docker compose up
