Introduction to Embedded Rust

Getting Started

Build the Docker image:

docker build -t env-embedded-rust  .

To run:

Linux, macOS, Windows (PowerShell):

docker run --rm -it -p 3000:3000 -v "$(pwd)/workspace:/home/student/workspace" -w /workspace env-embedded-rust

Initialize rustlings

If you would like to practice rust with the official rustlings exercises, you should navigate to the workspace/ directory (in the container) and initialize rustlings:

cd /home/student/workspace
rustlings init

To start rustlings or pick up where you left off:

cd /home/student/workspace/rustlings
rustlings --manual-run

Note: by default, rustlings uses rust-analyzer to watch for file changes to check if your code works or not. This sometimes struggles in a container, so I recommend using --manual-run to disable this feature. It just means you need to press r in the rustlings prompt when you want to check your code.
