Hello World - Rust sample

A simple web app written in Rust that you can use for testing. It reads in an env variable TARGET and prints "Hello World: ${TARGET}!". If TARGET is not specified, it will use "NOT SPECIFIED" as the TARGET.

Prerequisites

  • A Kubernetes cluster with Knative installed. Follow the installation instructions if you need to create one.
  • Docker installed and running on your local machine, and a Docker Hub account configured (we'll use it for a container registry).

Steps to recreate the sample code

While you can clone all of the code from this directory, hello world apps are generally more useful if you build them step-by-step. The following instructions recreate the source files from this folder.

  1. Create a new file named Cargo.toml and paste the following code:

    [package]
name = "hellorust"
version = "0.0.0"
publish = false

[dependencies]
hyper = "0.12.3"
pretty_env_logger = "0.2.3"

  2. Create a src folder, then create a new file named main.rs in that folder and paste the following code. This code creates a basic web server which listens on port 8080:

    #![deny(warnings)]
extern crate hyper;
extern crate pretty_env_logger;

use hyper::{Body, Response, Server};
use hyper::service::service_fn_ok;
use hyper::rt::{self, Future};
use std::env;

fn main() {
    pretty_env_logger::init();

    let addr = ([0, 0, 0, 0], 8080).into();

    let new_service = || {
        service_fn_ok(|_| {

            let mut hello = "Hello world: ".to_string();
            match env::var("TARGET") {
                Ok(target) => {hello.push_str(&target);},
                Err(_e) => {hello.push_str("NOT SPECIFIED")},
            };

            Response::new(Body::from(hello))
        })
    };

    let server = Server::bind(&addr)
        .serve(new_service)
        .map_err(|e| eprintln!("server error: {}", e));

    println!("Listening on http://{}", addr);

    rt::run(server);
}

  3. In your project directory, create a file named Dockerfile and copy the code block below into it.

    FROM rust:1.27.0

WORKDIR /usr/src/app
COPY . .

RUN cargo install

EXPOSE 8080

CMD ["hellorust"]

  4. Create a new file, service.yaml and copy the following service definition into the file. Make sure to replace {username} with your Docker Hub username.

    apiVersion: serving.knative.dev/v1alpha1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: helloworld-rust
namespace: default
spec:
runLatest:
    configuration:
    revisionTemplate:
        spec:
        container:
            image: docker.io/{username}/helloworld-rust
            env:
            - name: TARGET
            value: "Rust Sample v1"

Build and deploy this sample

Once you have recreated the sample code files (or used the files in the sample folder) you're ready to build and deploy the sample app.

  1. Use Docker to build the sample code into a container. To build and push with Docker Hub, run these commands replacing {username} with your Docker Hub username:

    # Build the container on your local machine
docker build -t {username}/helloworld-rust .

# Push the container to docker registry
docker push {username}/helloworld-rust

  2. After the build has completed and the container is pushed to docker hub, you can deploy the app into your cluster. Ensure that the container image value in service.yaml matches the container you built in the previous step. Apply the configuration using kubectl:

    kubectl apply -f service.yaml

  3. Now that your service is created, Knative will perform the following steps:

    • Create a new immutable revision for this version of the app.
    • Network programming to create a route, ingress, service, and load balance for your app.
    • Automatically scale your pods up and down (including to zero active pods).

  4. To find the URL and IP address for your service, use kubectl get ing to list the ingress points in the cluster. It may take a few seconds for the ingress point to be created.

    kubectl get ing

NAME                        HOSTS                                       ADDRESS        PORTS     AGE
helloworld-rust-ingress   helloworld-rust.default.demo-domain.com   35.232.134.1   80        1m

  5. Now you can make a request to your app to see the result. Replace {IP_ADDRESS} with the address you see returned in the previous step.

    curl -H "Host: helloworld-rust.default.demo-domain.com" http://{IP_ADDRESS}
Hello World!

Removing the sample app deployment

To remove the sample app from your cluster, delete the service record:

kubectl delete -f service.yaml
