This is the GUI interface for OwlNest, powered by Tauri and Vue.
The GUI and the library it is using(OwlNest) is still in early stage of development, you will experience bugs and even memory leaks. Feel free to file an issue if something is wrong! It is also a way to keep the project churning.
You will need Rust toolchain installed on your machine to compile the code. Use rustup
to bootstrap the Rust toolchain.
- VS Code + Volar + Tauri + rust-analyzer
- If you want to share your experience when with other IDE setups, please file a PR.
Note: You can also use vendored
feature to compile OpenSSL library from source, without external copy of OpenSSL. This will increase time taken on first-time build and build after cleaning build artifacts. You will also need a Perl installation to compile OpenSSL from source.
- Clone
https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg
and executebootstrap-vcpkg.bat
inside the cloned repository. - Execute
./vcpkg.exe integrate install
to integrate this copy of vcpkg with your shell. - Execute
./vcpkg.exe install openssl:x64-windows-static-md
to install openssl library that can be statically linked.
Note: You can also use dynamically linked openssl. Please refer to crate openssl
documentation for more info.
- Get the latest LTS version of NodeJS from its official website. Non-LTS or older version may work, but there is no guarantee.
- Alternatively, install
nvm
for managing all NodeJS installations on your machine using Chocolatey usingchoco install nvm
. Note that normal NodeJS will ask if you want to use Chocolately as your package manager for installing node modules with native code(C/C++).
- Tauri needs WebView2 to render the UI properly. Windows 10 Update 1809 and later should have WebView2 installed by default. If you are building on an older OS you can get WebView 2 here(English page).
- Similar to Windows, Tauri needs a browser engine to render the UI properly, which is
webkit2gtk
in this case. - Please refer to official documentation of Tauri for more information to setup for developing Tauri applications.
Bodyless mode is selected(or rather, body-full mode is deselected) when execute yarn vite
without bringing up tauri CLI(nor Rust toolchain) first. In this mode, all calls through tauri IPC from frontend code will result in error. In this mode, all errors relates to IPC calls is suppressed.
