A RPKI Relying Party in Rust
Getting Started (aka What’s that Rust thing you keep going on about?)
If you don’t have it yet, you need Rust. There’s a tool called rustup for that. If you feel lucky, simply do:
curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
or get the file, have a look and then run it manually. Follow the instructions (if any) to get rustup and cargo, the rust build tool, into your path.
If you already have Rust, make sure you have a reasonably new version. The code assumes that you have the latest stable version. If in doubt, run
rustup update
Building and Running
In the directory you cloned this repository to, say
cargo build
This will build the whole thing (or fail, of course). If it succeeds, you can run
cargo run
to run the binary that has been built. At this point, it will rsync all
repository instances into ./rpki-cache/repository and validate them. You
will need the rsync executable in your path.
To get a better performance, build and run in release mode like so:
cargo run --release
It will then take forever to build but is quick to run.
There is a number of command line options available. You can have cargo pass them to the executable after a double hyphen. For instance, if to find out about them, run
cargo run --relase -- -h
