domino-rust-apps

Build a Rust web app (axum) in Domino and ship it as a Domino App that starts from a prebuilt binary. Covers installing a pinned Rust toolchain into a Compute Environment with rustup, Cargo project defaults (edition 2024, rust-toolchain.toml, Cargo.lock, Clippy pedantic, rustfmt, cargo-nextest, cargo-deny), rust-analyzer for the IDE and coding agents, check hooks, calling Domino as the viewer with extended identity propagation, dev and release build profiles, keeping target/ out of Git and Domino storage, and an app.sh that runs the binary in App Preview and deployments without compiling. Use when the user wants a Rust app, API, dashboard or Proa site on Domino, a performance-sensitive or correctness-critical App, or asks to set up Rust, cargo, Clippy, nextest or rust-analyzer in a Domino Workspace or environment.

Compatibility

Domino 6.3 and Domino Cloud. Building needs a Compute Environment with the Rust toolchain and access to crates.io or a mirror; the App runs the prebuilt binary and needs no toolchain.
