Build from source

The installer covers the dyndo CLI on macOS and Linux, and Docker covers the server. Building from source is the fallback for when neither fits — an unsupported platform, or running the server without Docker.

Prerequisites

  • A recent stable Rust toolchain with cargo. The minimum supported version is pinned in the repository’s rust-toolchain.toml; any current stable release satisfies it.
  • git, to clone the repository.

Build

Clone the repository and build in release mode:

git clone https://github.com/matvp91/dyndo.git
cd dyndo
cargo build --release

This produces both binaries under target/release/:

  • target/release/dyndo — the CLI.
  • target/release/dyndo-server — the server.

Run them straight from there, or put them on your PATH.

Install the CLI on your PATH

cargo install copies the dyndo binary into ~/.cargo/bin, which the Rust installer already adds to your PATH:

cargo install --path crates/dyndo-cli
dyndo --version

You can now use every CLI command — index, dash, hls — exactly as the rest of this book describes.

Run the server

The dyndo-server binary reads the same configuration as the Docker image (built-in defaults, then config.yaml, then DYNDO_* environment variables). Point it at a storage root and run it:

DYNDO_FS__ROOT=./assets ./target/release/dyndo-server

dyndo-server listening on http://0.0.0.0:8080

Everything in Run and configure the server applies — the same config keys, request URLs, and /health endpoint. Only the way you launch the process differs.
