08-06-2022 Project restructuring and how to update (only for existing torrust-index users):

We have recently moved to a new project structure for the torrust-index project. The backend and frontend folders have been moved into their own repositories: backend & frontend. These repositories have now been included in this repository as submodules, and they have replaced the old backend and frontend sub folders. This however may lead to problems when updating from an older version of torrust (now torrust-index). To update from an older version of torrust:

1. Rename the old backend and frontend sub folders:

   mv backend backend-old
   mv frontend frontend-old

2. Pull the latest torrust-index and its submodules:

   git pull
   git pull --recurse-submodules

3. Copy your old config and database over:

   cp backend-old/config.toml backend/config.toml
   cp backend-old/data.db backend/data.db
   cp frontend-old/.env frontend/.env

   You might also have to copy your old .env file over or do cd backend and echo "DATABASE_URL=sqlite://data.db?mode=rwc" > .env

4. Rebuild the binaries and frontend:

   cd backend
   cargo build --release
   cd ../frontend
   npm i
   npm run build

   NOTE: The backend binaries have been renamed to torrust-index-backend. To run them, do: ./target/release/torrust-index-backend
