Rust

Build actions for Rust projects using Cargo.

Available Actions

Action	Description
rust-setup	Install Rust toolchain
rust-registry-login	Configure Cargo registries
rust-build	Build and test
rust-cut-tag	Bump version and create tag
rust-registry-publish	Publish to Cargo registry

Version File

Cargo reads and writes versions in Cargo.toml:

[package]
name = "my-service"
version = "1.2.3"

Required Variables

Variable	Description
CARGO_REGISTRY	Cargo registry URL for private crates

Example Usage

steps:
  - uses: actions/checkout@v4

  - uses: p6m-actions/rust-setup@v1

  - uses: p6m-actions/rust-registry-login@v1
    with:
      registry-url: ${{ vars.CARGO_REGISTRY }}
      token: ${{ secrets.ARTIFACTORY_IDENTITY_TOKEN }}

  - uses: p6m-actions/rust-build@v1

Multi-Architecture Builds

Rust projects benefit from native builds per architecture for better performance:

jobs:
  build-amd64:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: p6m-actions/rust-setup@v1
      - uses: p6m-actions/rust-build@v1

  build-arm64:
    runs-on: ubuntu-24.04-arm
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: p6m-actions/rust-setup@v1
      - uses: p6m-actions/rust-build@v1

Dockerfile

note

Dockerfile patterns depend on your specific project structure. Rust projects benefit from cargo-chef for dependency caching, and native builds per architecture for performance.

See Containerization for general patterns including:

• Multi-stage builds vs copying pre-built artifacts
• Non-root user configuration
• Health check setup
