## Getting Started
### Container Version
The Torrust Tracker is [deployed to DockerHub][dockerhub], you can run a demo immediately with the following commands:
#### Docker
```sh
docker run -it torrust/tracker:develop
```
> Please read our [container guide][containers.md] for more information.
#### Podman
```sh
podman run -it docker.io/torrust/tracker:develop
```
> Please read our [container guide][containers.md] for more information.
### Development Version
- Please ensure you have the _**[latest stable (or nightly) version of rust][rust]___.
- Please ensure that your computer has enough RAM. _**Recommended 16GB.___
#### Checkout, Test and Run
```sh
# Checkout repository into a new folder:
git clone https://github.com/torrust/torrust-tracker.git
# Change into directory and create a empty database file:
cd torrust-tracker
mkdir -p ./storage/tracker/lib/database/
touch ./storage/tracker/lib/database/sqlite3.db
# Check all tests in application:
cargo test --tests --benches --examples --workspace --all-targets --all-features
# Run the tracker:
cargo run
```
#### Customization
```sh
# Copy the default configuration into the standard location:
mkdir -p ./storage/tracker/etc/
cp ./share/default/config/tracker.development.sqlite3.toml ./storage/tracker/etc/tracker.toml
# Customize the tracker configuration (for example):
vim ./storage/tracker/etc/tracker.toml
# Run the tracker with the updated configuration:
TORRUST_TRACKER_CONFIG_TOML_PATH="./storage/tracker/etc/tracker.toml" cargo run
```
_Optionally, you may choose to supply the entire configuration as an environmental variable:_
```sh
# Use a configuration supplied on an environmental variable:
TORRUST_TRACKER_CONFIG_TOML=$(cat "./storage/tracker/etc/tracker.toml") cargo run
```
_For deployment, you **should** override the `api_admin_token` by using an environmental variable:_
```sh
# Generate a Secret Token:
gpg --armor --gen-random 1 10 | tee ./storage/tracker/lib/tracker_api_admin_token.secret
chmod go-rwx ./storage/tracker/lib/tracker_api_admin_token.secret
# Override secret in configuration using an environmental variable:
TORRUST_TRACKER_CONFIG_TOML=$(cat "./storage/tracker/etc/tracker.toml") \
TORRUST_TRACKER_CONFIG_OVERRIDE_HTTP_API__ACCESS_TOKENS__ADMIN=$(cat "./storage/tracker/lib/tracker_api_admin_token.secret") \
cargo run
```
> Please view our [crate documentation][docs] for more detailed instructions.
