## Requirements
- Rust 1.54+ (when building from source)
2022-04-20 13:47:04 +00:00
- PostgreSQL 12+
2022-01-11 23:02:56 +00:00

## Installation
### Building from source
Run:
```
cargo build --release
```
This command will produce two binaries in `target/release` directory, `mitra` and `mitractl`.
Create a database and a configuration file (see [example](./config.yaml.example)).
When starting Mitra, set the value of `ENVIRONMENT` variable to `production` and specify the path to configuration file with `CONFIG_PATH`:
```
ENVIRONMENT=production CONFIG_PATH=/etc/mitra/config.yaml mitra
```
An HTTP server will be needed to handle HTTPS requests and serve the frontend. See the example of [nginx configuration file](./contrib/mitra.nginx).
Building instructions for `mitra-web` frontend can be found at https://codeberg.org/silverpill/mitra-web#project-setup.
To run Mitra as a systemd service, check out the [systemd unit file example](./contrib/mitra.service).
