Steel-Copper is a web-server which renders rrd database files to graphs using rrdtool.

After starting the steel-copper binary, the integrated web server starts on port 8000. If you want to modify startup parameter (TCP port, etc.), you have multiple options:

• Create Rocket.toml file in the directory where you run steel-copper. Rocket.toml configuration manual
• Use environment variables. Examples

• collectd service has to be installed and running to create/update periodic sample databases (rrd database files).
• rrdgraph binary is required to render the graphs. On most Linux distributions, the tool is included in the rrdtool package.
• nightly version of Rust. This will change in the near future, so that stable Rust will be able to build it.

cargo +nightly install steel-copper

installs the steel-copper binary.

cargo build --release

builds a single executable file steel-copper in the directory target/release.

This is a very young project with a small feature set. Two types of input I would like to get are feature requests of things you are missing and of course bug reports.
