documentation • source • llms.txt • crate • email

Web service that displays the epoch time by using Axum, Tokio, Rust.

This is a very simple web service that we use for testing our systems.

Steps

Run the service using the default address 0.0.0.0:8080:

cargo run

Browse https://localhost:8080/epoch

You should see a web page that displays the epoch time in seconds.

Wait a little bit, then use your browser to reload the web page.

You should see the epoch time increase a little bit.

Options

Run the service using an environment variable for a custom bind address:

export BIND="1.1.1.1:1111"
cargo run

Run the service using environment variables for a custom host and port:

export HOST="1.1.1.1"
export PORT="1111"
cargo run
