Alexandria

Alexandria is the backend for Seshat, written in Rust using axum and sea-orm.

Usage

Build:

cargo build --profile <dev/release/prod>

Run:

JWT_SECRET="this_is_a_32_bytes_secret_____" /path/to/alexandria -d /path/to/alexandria.db -p <port>

This serves both the api at the root and its documentation at /docs

Create/modify/delete accounts:

/path/to/alexandria --user -d /path/to/alexandria.db

Selfhosting:

Alexandria does not provide https by itself, you should run it behind a proxy that serves https and redirect the traffic. Example caddy config:

bal.ueauvergne.fr {
    reverse_proxy :3000
}

In Seshat, users can go to settings and modify the backend's URL to whichever backend they want.
