A simple web app written in Rust that you can use for testing. It reads in an
env variable TARGET
and prints "Hello ${TARGET}!". If
TARGET is not specified, it will use "World" as the TARGET.
- 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).
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.
-
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"
-
Create a
src
folder, then create a new file namedmain.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 mut port: u16 = 8080; match env::var("PORT") { Ok(p) => { match p.parse::<u16>() { Ok(n) => {port = n;}, Err(_e) => {}, }; } Err(_e) => {}, }; let addr = ([0, 0, 0, 0], port).into(); let new_service = || { service_fn_ok(|_| { let mut hello = "Hello ".to_string(); match env::var("TARGET") { Ok(target) => {hello.push_str(&target);}, Err(_e) => {hello.push_str("World")}, }; 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); }
-
In your project directory, create a file named
Dockerfile
and copy the code block below into it.# Use the official Rust image. # https://hub.docker.com/_/rust FROM rust:1.27.0 # Copy local code to the container image. WORKDIR /usr/src/app COPY . . # Install production dependencies and build a release artifact. RUN cargo install # Configure and document the service HTTP port. ENV PORT 8080 EXPOSE $PORT # Run the web service on container startup. CMD ["hellorust"]
-
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"
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.
-
Use Docker to build the sample code into a container. To build and push with Docker Hub, enter 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
-
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 usingkubectl
:kubectl apply --filename service.yaml
-
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).
-
To find the IP address for your service, enter
kubectl get svc knative-ingressgateway --namespace istio-system
to get the ingress IP for your cluster. If your cluster is new, it may take sometime for the service to get asssigned an external IP address.kubectl get svc knative-ingressgateway --namespace istio-system NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE knative-ingressgateway LoadBalancer 10.23.247.74 35.203.155.229 80:32380/TCP,443:32390/TCP,32400:32400/TCP 2d
-
To find the URL for your service, enter:
kubectl get ksvc helloworld-rust --output=custom-columns=NAME:.metadata.name,DOMAIN:.status.domain NAME DOMAIN helloworld-rust helloworld-rust.default.example.com
-
Now you can make a request to your app and see the result. Replace
{IP_ADDRESS}
with the address you see returned in the previous step.curl -H "Host: helloworld-rust.default.example.com" http://{IP_ADDRESS} Hello World!
To remove the sample app from your cluster, delete the service record:
kubectl delete --filename service.yaml
