Development

Clone the repository and run

cargo run

Build inside Docker

Be sure you to replace $PATH_TO_REPO with the path to this cloned repo on your filesystem.

sudo docker build --no-cache . -t lemoa:latest
sudo docker run -v $PATH_TO_REPO:/home/lemoa/lemoa_volume -it lemoa:latest bash
cd lemoa_volume/
cargo build

The binary will also be available on your host system since $PATH_TO_REPO is mounted as a shared volume between docker and host.
