Deploy a Rust app

Deploy Rust in six steps

1. 01

   Push your Rust project to a GitHub repository.

2. 02

   Sign in to Rimbra, choose New project and import the repository. Rimbra asks GitHub for access to the repositories you pick.

3. 03

   Rimbra sees a Cargo.toml and runs cargo build --release, then runs the binary. Change the root directory or the commands in Settings if your project needs it.

4. 04

   Paste your .env into Variables. Every line becomes a variable, available on the next deploy.

5. 05

   Deploy. The build log streams line by line, and your app goes live at your-project.rimbra.live (or .xyz or .click, your choice) over HTTPS.

6. 06

   Optional: buy or connect a domain, and Rimbra points it at your app with HTTPS issued automatically.

What your app needs

One rule for servers: listen on the port in the PORT environment variable. Rimbra sets it and routes your address to it.

// Axum, Actix or Rocket: bind to the PORT variable
let port = std::env::var("PORT").unwrap_or("3000".into());
let addr = format!("0.0.0.0:{port}");
