This project is an attempt to build a full-stack application using Rust for the backend, Node.js for the frontend, and Docker for containerization for a self service Permissions tool in an enterprise environment.
- Backend: Rust
- Framework: Rocket
- Database: SQLite
- Other Libraries:
jsonwebtoken,ldap3
- Frontend: Node.js
- Framework: React
- Containerization: Docker
- Basic setup of Rust backend with Rocket framework.
- Dockerization of Rust backend.
- Setup JWT and LDAP (though LDAP is not fully functional).
- SQL connection established.
- LDAP setup is failing due to the absence of an Active Directory.
- There were initial Docker build issues, specifically with library dependencies like SQLite and SSL.
- The application is not sending any data when accessed via a browser.
- Debug LDAP Setup: Either ensure that LDAP is correctly set up or handle its absence gracefully in the code.
- Docker Build Issues: Update the Dockerfile to correctly handle dependencies.
- Application Response: Debug why the application isn't sending any data on being accessed via a browser.
- Frontend: Finalize the frontend part of the application, ensure it can communicate with the backend.
- Testing: Once all components are in place, perform end-to-end testing to ensure everything is working as expected.
For reference, the Dockerfile used for the project is attached below.
