blessed-rs VS config-rs

I opened a PR to correct this.

This is my project (although I didn't submit this to HN), AMA

I consider quite incomplete at this point (but hopefully already useful). There are several categories of crate that just aren't covered yet (suggestions very welcome, either here or on the github repo https://github.com/nicoburns/blessed-rs).

I'd also like to add more hand curated content such as:

- Installation and developer environment setup

No, it's hand curated (see https://github.com/nicoburns/blessed-rs for source). There is a separate project https://lib.rs that takes a more automated approach (you can browse the most downloaded crates by count).

This sounds like the sort of thing I created https://blessed.rs to host (source: https://github.com/nicoburns/blessed-rs). I never really launched it, so it's a bit incomplete atm. But the idea is that it's a guide to all the stuff that can't be in the official docs (because that would be favouritism), but that every rust developer ought to know.

I've been quietly working on something like this over at https://blessed.rs (source: https://github.com/nicoburns/blessed-rs) At the moment it's just a curated list of crates (and still a fairly short one at that), but the vision is very much to be a go-to knowledge base for Rust, a community managed counterpart to the official website. I've been putting off an announcement until it's more ready, but perhaps it's better to get it out there.

My dockerfile: https://github.com/nicoburns/blessed-rs/blob/main/Dockerfile.build

I like config.rs, but I am struggling to overwrite config profiles with environment variables. The desired config is mixed, like .toml

Consider config crate. It could be like:

I've been using Config most of the time. I also use once_cell to make it a static variable.

I've enjoyed using this one: https://crates.io/crates/config

Anyone know of a library like https://github.com/netflix/go-env but for rust? I found https://github.com/mehcode/config-rs but it's just not as simple...

I was just in that space today. The config crate has an example you might find useful: https://github.com/mehcode/config-rs/tree/master/examples/hierarchical-env

How it differs from config?

Checking an environment variable is very easy with std::env::var or similar. If you have other bits of configuration that also change—which is typical; things like DB connection strings—you may consider a more full-featured solution like https://docs.rs/config/0.10.1/config/ (pay particular attention to this example, which seems to be very close to what you want: https://github.com/mehcode/config-rs/blob/master/examples/hierarchical-env/src/settings.rs ).

It's unfortunate, it looks like there was an attempt to get someone else to maintain it here, but no one ended up really stepping up to the plate.
