The Rust blog

This is the blog of the Rust Programming Language.

It's implemented as a small static site generator, that's deployed to GitHub Pages via Travis.

Building

To build the site locally:

> git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/blog.rust-lang.org
> cd blog.rust-lang.org
> cargo run

You could do it in release mode if you'd like, but it's pretty fast in debug.

From there, the generated HTML will be in a site directory. You can use any web server to check it out in your browser:

> cd site
> python3 -m http.server

The site is now available at http://0.0.0.0:8000.

If you need to preview the site from another machine, pass the host's address via --bind. For example, if running on 192.168.72.73:

> cd site
> python3 -m http.server --bind 192.168.72.73

The site is now available at http://192.168.72.73:8000.

(As a short-cut: If you pass --bind 0.0.0.0, the server will be reachable at all of the host's IP addresses.)
