TurboBunny

Turbobunny is a bunny1/bunnylol clone. It's a quicklinking tool that's meant to stand in for your browser's default search engine and provide some convenient aliases for stuff you do a lot. Ideally it should feel kinda like having a nice set of shell rcscripts for the web.

It's written as an actix-web server, with a handful of routes and a couple static resources:

• /cmd?q={} is where the actual traffic goes
• /, /index, /index.html, /list, and so on are where the metadata lives
• /static serves up the contents of the ./resources directory

There are a couple others where specific paths are required for things like favicons and OpenSearch hooks -- look at main.rs for how routes are assigned.

Developing

TurboBunny supports listenfd as well as standalone port binding, so you can set it up with live recompiles and one open port, for easy dev work. To get that going, you need two utilities cargo can install for you:

cargo install systemfd cargo-watch

• systemfd opens a socket and hands it off to a subordinate process, imitating the way systemd-provided sockets work on linux machines.
• cargo-watch monitors your source tree and runs a command on changes.

Putting these together:

systemfd --no-pid -s http::8080 -- cargo watch -x "run --bin turbobunny -- localhost:8080"

That'll give you automatic recompiles/restarts whenever the code changes.
