This project encapsulates the backend infrastructure of CS2KZ. It is developed in tandem with the plugin and currently WIP.

If you want to run the API locally, see Local Setup. The recommended tooling for development is listed under Tooling. The project structure is documented in ARCHITECTURE.md.

Questions and feedback are appreciated! Feel free to open an issue or join our Discord.

The API uses a configuration file located in .config/config.toml. An example configuration file is provided in the same directory with all the default values filled in, copy and modify it as you see fit. .env.example and .env.docker.example should be copied to .env and .env.docker respectively. Again, change the default values as you see fit.

The API requires a MariaDB instance in order to run. It is recommended that you run one using Docker using the compose.yml file provided by this repository. Install docker and run the following command:

docker compose up -d cs2kz-database

To compile the API itself, you can use cargo:

# also specify `--release` to enable optimizations
cargo build --locked --bin cs2kz-api serve

# compile & run in one step
cargo run --locked --bin cs2kz-api serve

To compile and run with Docker instead:

docker compose up --build cs2kz-api

The nix flake in the repository root also outputs the API binary as its default package.

You can run the test suite for the whole workspace using:

cargo test --locked --workspace

The API supports sending trace data to tokio-console so you can inspect the runtime in real time. In order to use it, compile with the console feature enabled, and the tokio_unstable cfg flag in your RUSTFLAGS.

RUSTFLAGS="--cfg tokio_unstable" cargo run --locked --bin cs2kz-api --features console serve

The debug recipe in the Justfile does the same.

1. rustup to install the Rust toolchain
2. Docker for running the database and (optionally) the API itself
3. sqlx-cli for managing database migrations
4. DepotDownloader (optional) for downloading workshop maps; required for PUT /maps and PATCH /maps/{map_id}
5. just (optional) as a command runner
6. nix (optional) if you know you know
