modmapper

Downloads mods from nexus, parses the plugins inside, and saves data to a postgres database.

Development Install

1. Install and run postgres.
2. Create postgres user and database (and add uuid extension while you're there ):

createuser modmapper
createdb modmapper
sudo -u postgres -i psql
postgres=# ALTER DATABASE modmapper OWNER TO modmapper;
\password modmapper

# Or, on Windows in PowerShell:

& 'C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\13\bin\createuser.exe' -U postgres modmapper
& 'C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\13\bin\createdb.exe' -U postgres modmapper
& 'C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\13\bin\psql.exe' -U postgres
postgres=# ALTER DATABASE modmapper OWNER TO modmapper;
\password modmapper

3. Save password somewhere safe and then and add a .env file to the project directory with the contents:

DATABASE_URL=postgresql://modmapper:<password>@localhost/modmapper
RUST_LOG=mod_mapper=debug

4. Install sqlx_cli with cargo install sqlx-cli --no-default-features --features postgres
5. Run sqlx migrate --source migrations run which will run all the database migrations.
6. Get your personal Nexus API token from your profile settings and add it to the .env file:

NEXUS_API_KEY=...

7. Either run cargo run for development mode, or build the release binary with cargo build --release, which will get saved to target/release/.
