Rust (rustlang) Install Script

Installs Rust, common Rust utilities, and needed dependencies.

Script status: Stable

OS support: Debian 9+, Ubuntu 16.04+, and downstream distros.

Syntax

./rust-debian.sh [CARGO_HOME] [RUSTUP_HOME] [Non-root user] [Add to rc files flag] [Update Rust flag]

Argument	Default	Description
CARGO_HOME	/usr/local/cargo	Location to install Cargo.
RUSTUP_HOME	/usr/local/rustup	Location to install rustup.
Non-root user	automatic	Specifies a user in the container other than root that will use Rust. A value of automatic will cause the script to check for a user called vscode, then node, codespace, and finally a user with a UID of 1000 before falling back to root.
Add to rc files flag	true	A true/false flag that indicates whether the PATH should be updated and CARGO_HOME and RUSTUP_HOME set via /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/zsh/zshrc.
Update Rust flag	true	A true/false flag that indicates whether the script should update Rust (e.g. if it was already installed).

Usage

Usage:

1. Add rust-debian.sh to .devcontainer/library-scripts

2. Add the following to your .devcontainer/Dockerfile:

   ENV CARGO_HOME=/usr/local/cargo \
       RUSTUP_HOME=/usr/local/rustup
   ENV PATH=${CARGO_HOME}/bin:${RUSTUP_HOME}/bin:${PATH}
   COPY library-scripts/go-debian.sh /tmp/library-scripts/
   RUN apt-get update && bash /tmp/library-scripts/go-debian.sh "${CARGO_HOME}" "${RUSTUP_HOME}"

That's it!
