Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and identifies the project as open source under the MIT license.

  • Quay is backend infrastructure; the repository does not establish a complete marketplace frontend.
  • The documented stack includes Rust, Actix Web, Postgres, Redis, sqlx and ethers-rs.
  • The README documents Rust and Docker as development prerequisites and provides local database setup scripts.
  • The repository documents Docker images for production or testing and deployment to Digital Ocean.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Set up Quay's documented local development environment

Prepare the local database and Redis services, then build and run the project's tests.

Before you start

  • Rust
  • Docker

Steps

  1. Run ./scripts/init_db.sh and ./scripts/init_redis.sh to set up the local database and Redis.

  2. Run the command below to build the project.

    Documented command
    cargo build

  3. Run the command below after setting up the development environment.

    Documented command
    cargo test

Expected outcome

A built project and a test run using the documented local development setup.

Guide limitations

  • The README describes Docker as hosting a local Postgres instance; it does not establish deployment compatibility beyond the documented setup.
