Offline Rust

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • crates.io

    The Rust package registry

    I don't know how big crates.io is, but ability to have a local proxy of just most recent versions of all crates would be worth a lot to me.

  • devdocs

    API Documentation Browser

    Also look at https://devdocs.io/ (includes offline https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/devdocs)

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • panamax

    Mirror rustup and crates.io repositories, for offline Rust and cargo usage.

    It looks like panamax is also a program that can be used to mirror a local crates-io registry to ones device. And using .cargo/config one can point to it. https://github.com/panamax-rs/panamax

  • rust-playground

    The Rust Playground

  • zeal

    Offline documentation browser inspired by Dash

  • cargo-docset

    Cargo subcommand to generate a Dash/Zeal docset for your Rust packages.

    There's cargo docset for that. It's not quite as automated, but workable for important crates.

  • cargo-cacher

    A caching server for crates + cargo

    I had my own full local mirror with https://github.com/ChrisMacNaughton/cargo-cacher a few years back (repeated downloads in docker builds -.-). Iirc, it was 43 GB. I should probably donate some money for doing that… (To who, actually? Mozilla? Rust foundation?)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
