A Rust web application for group management - a toy project to learn Rust with goals to create a Meetup equivalent. The application uses Actix-web as the HTTP server with PostgreSQL as the database and Tera templating for HTML rendering.

• Actix Web - Web framework for Rust
• PostgreSQL - Database with Docker support
• SQLx - Async PostgreSQL driver with compile-time checked queries
• Tera - Template engine (Jinja2-like)
• Argon2 - Password hashing library
• htmz - Minimalist HTML microframework (166 bytes)
• Task - Task runner/build tool

To install Task (not mandatory), please refer to the installation guide.

1. Copy environment configuration:

cp .env.example .env

2. Start PostgreSQL database:

task db-up

3. Run the application:

task dev

The application will be available at http://127.0.0.1:8080
