Quickstart

Get Rustume running locally with make setup, make dev, or Docker in under five minutes.

Rustume ships as a SolidJS resume builder backed by a Rust API. You can develop locally with the Makefile or run a single Docker container for a production-like setup.

Prerequisites

For native development you need:

For Docker-only setup you only need Docker with BuildKit enabled.

Native development

git clone https://github.com/lgtm-hq/Rustume.git
cd Rustume
make setup   # verify deps, install packages, build WASM
make dev     # API on :3000, Vite dev server on :5173

Open http://localhost:5173 for the editor. The Vite dev server proxies API calls to the Rust server on port 3000.

Verify the API is healthy:

curl -sf http://localhost:3000/health
# → ok

Interactive OpenAPI documentation is available at http://localhost:3000/swagger-ui/.

Docker quick start

Pull the published image and run:

docker pull ghcr.io/lgtm-hq/rustume:latest
docker run -p 3000:3000 ghcr.io/lgtm-hq/rustume:latest

Open http://localhost:3000. The container serves both the web UI and the API from a single process.

Alternatively, use Docker Compose from the repository root:

docker compose up          # pull ghcr.io/lgtm-hq/rustume:latest
docker compose up --build  # build locally when GHCR is unavailable
