p-vector-rs

Build Dependencies

• Rust 1.76+
• Clang/LLVM
• pkg-config

Runtime Dependencies

• OpenSSL (libcrypto) (libssl-dev in Debian 10)
• LibLZMA (liblzma-dev in Debian 10)
• Nettle (nettle-dev in Debian 10)

And you need a PostgreSQL server. You will need to deploy one on your device.

Building Instructions

1. Install both build and runtime dependencies
2. Spin up the PostgreSQL server, it's recommended to create a offline database: createdb <database_name>; for details on how to configure a offline database, please refer to the full setup guide
3. Type cargo install sqlx-cli
4. Execute export DATABASE_URL="postgres://localhost/<database_name>"
5. Execute sqlx migrate run
6. Run cargo build --release

PostgreSQL server is required when building because the compiler will check if the SQL statements are semantically correct.

Setup Instructions

1. Download or build p-vector
2. You will need a signing key for your repository, you can generate a new one using gpg --gen-key or p-vector gen-key
3. Open config.toml in your favorite text editor and adapt the configurations to your needs
4. Save the configuration to somewhere (e.g. /etc/p-vector/config.toml)
5. Start the PostgreSQL server if not already done so
6. Run p-vector --config <path/to/config.toml> full to start the first scan
