# RustPad
RustPad is a collaborative Markdown editor with standalone notes and workspaces.
## Development setup
```bash
./dev.sh
```
The script creates `data/db` and `data/files`, builds the project, and starts it with Cargo. If Cargo is unavailable, it runs `docker compose up --build` instead.
## Workspace features
- Real-time collaborative editing over WebSocket.
- Nicknames stored in `localStorage`.
- Change authors shown in history.
- Line numbering enabled by default, with a persistent toggle.
- Owner color displayed next to each line.
- Image and file uploads to `data/files/pads/<id>_<token>/` or `data/files/notes/<id>_<token>/`.
- Automatic Markdown link insertion after upload.
- Markdown and Mermaid diagram rendering.
- History with snippets, previews, and version restore.
- Alert blocks: `success`, `info`, `warning`, and `danger`.
- Table of contents generated with `[TOC]`.
- Optional line numbers in fenced code blocks.
## Fenced code blocks and language aliases
RustPad recognizes common language names and aliases, including:
- JavaScript: `js`, `javascript`, `jsx`
- TypeScript: `ts`, `typescript`, `tsx`
- Python: `py`, `python`
- PHP: `php`
- Rust: `rs`, `rust`
- Shell: `sh`, `shell`, `bash`, `zsh`
- C and C++: `c`, `h`, `cpp`, `c++`, `cxx`, `hpp`
- C#: `cs`, `c#`, `csharp`
- Java, Kotlin, Go, Swift, Dart, Scala
- HTML, XML, SVG, CSS, SCSS, Sass, Less
- JSON, YAML, TOML, INI, SQL, GraphQL
- Markdown, Dockerfile, Makefile, PowerShell
- Lua, Perl, R, MATLAB, Nginx, Apache, Diff, and plain text
Standard code block:
````markdown
```python
print("Hello")
```
````
Code block with line numbers starting from line 1:
````markdown
```python=
print("Hello")
```
````
Code block with line numbers starting from a custom value:
````markdown
```python=101
print("Hello")
```
````
The `=number` suffix is a RustPad extension and may not be supported by other Markdown renderers.
## Data
- SQLite database: `data/db/rustpad.db`
- Attachments: `data/files/pads/<id>_<token>/` and `data/files/notes/<id>_<token>/`
- Public attachment URL: `/f/<token>/<filename>`
In Docker, both directories are located under `/data`.
## Publishing a note as a page
Use the **Page** button in the editor. RustPad creates a permanent public `/s/<token>` URL, copies it to the clipboard, and opens it in a new tab. The page displays the current note and renders Markdown, images, links, and Mermaid diagrams.
Publishing a protected note requires its password, but the generated public page itself is accessible without that password.
## Upload limit
Configure the maximum size of a single uploaded file with `UPLOAD_MAX_SIZE_MB` in `.env`, for example:
```env
UPLOAD_MAX_SIZE_MB=50
```
The default limit is 20 MB. Restart the project with `./dev.sh` after changing it.
## Database selection
RustPad selects the database engine through `DATABASE_URL`:
- SQLite: `sqlite:///data/db/rustpad.db?mode=rwc&journal_mode=WAL&busy_timeout=5000`
- PostgreSQL: `postgres://rustpad:rustpad@postgres:5432/rustpad`
- MySQL: `mysql://rustpad:rustpad@mysql:3306/rustpad`
SQLite remains the default for development and small installations. WAL mode allows reads during writes, but SQLite still performs only one write at a time. `busy_timeout=5000` waits briefly instead of immediately returning a `database is locked` error. PostgreSQL or MySQL is recommended for many concurrent editors or multiple application instances.
Optional databases in Docker Compose:
```bash
# PostgreSQL
docker compose --profile postgres up -d postgres
DATABASE_URL=postgres://rustpad:rustpad@postgres:5432/rustpad docker compose up -d rustpad
# MySQL
docker compose --profile mysql up -d mysql
DATABASE_URL=mysql://rustpad:rustpad@mysql:3306/rustpad docker compose up -d rustpad
```
Migrations are stored in `migrations/sqlite`, `migrations/postgres`, and `migrations/mysql`. Runtime SQL statements are centralized in `src/queries.rs`, while `src/database.rs` selects the driver and configures the connection.
## Optional user accounts and password reset
Nicknames can be used anonymously while they remain unregistered. Registering a nickname reserves it and requires a valid login session before it can be used in editor WebSocket connections.
Configure `PUBLIC_URL`, `SMTP_HOST`, `SMTP_PORT`, `SMTP_SECURITY`, `SMTP_USERNAME`, `SMTP_PASSWORD`, and `SMTP_FROM` to enable password-reset emails. `SMTP_FROM` accepts both `RustPad <no-reply@example.com>` and a value wrapped in one matching pair of single or double quotes, as may be passed literally by container env-file implementations. `SMTP_SECURITY` accepts `none` (plain SMTP, typically an internal relay on port 25), `starttls`, or `tls` (implicit TLS, commonly port 465). When omitted, it defaults to `tls` for port 465 and `starttls` for other ports. Reset links expire after 30 minutes and can be used only once.
## Diagnostics and logging
Server logs use `tracing`. Configure verbosity with `RUST_LOG`, for example:
```env
RUST_LOG=rustpad=debug,tower_http=info
```
Important lifecycle, database, authentication, password-reset, and WebSocket events are logged. Passwords, session tokens, reset tokens, SMTP credentials, and authorization headers are never logged.
Browser diagnostics are configured separately with `FRONTEND_LOG_LEVEL`. Supported values are `off`, `error`, `warn`, `info`, and `debug`; the default is `warn`. URL parameters cannot enable diagnostics. Use `debug` only in trusted development environments. Production should normally use `warn` or `error`.
## Registration and SMTP
Set `REGISTRATION_ENABLED=true` to enable registration. After an account is created, the application sends an SMTP message containing the nickname and `PUBLIC_URL`.
Set `ACCOUNT_CONFIRMATION_REQUIRED=true` to require users to click a confirmation link before signing in. This option is disabled by default and requires SMTP configuration.
## Attachment storage
RustPad supports two interchangeable attachment backends selected in `.env`:
- `STORAGE_DRIVER=local` stores files under `FILES_DIR` and is the default.
- `STORAGE_DRIVER=s3` uses an S3-compatible service such as AWS S3, Garage, Ceph RGW, OpenStack, or MinIO.
Public application URLs remain `/f/{token}/{filename}` for both backends. RustPad validates access and streams objects through the API, so the bucket does not need to be public and existing database records do not require migration.
For the optional Docker Garage service, configure the S3 variables shown in `.env.example`, use strong unique credentials, and run:
```sh
docker compose --profile s3 up -d --build
```
Garage runs as a separate Compose service. Existing PostgreSQL and MySQL profiles remain unchanged. The included single-node setup is intended for local or self-hosted development without redundancy. Production Garage deployments should use a properly designed multi-node configuration.
## Authentication: local, LDAP, LDAPS, or Active Directory
Choose exactly one authentication backend:
```env
AUTHORIZATION_TYPE=local
```
Supported values:
- `local` - built-in registration and password login
- `ldap` - OpenLDAP-compatible directory
- `ad` - Microsoft Active Directory defaults
For `ldap` and `ad`, RustPad searches the directory with the service account, validates the password by binding as the user, and automatically provisions a local account. Existing sessions, ownership, sharing, and other account functions continue to use the existing `users` table. Local registration and guest nickname access are disabled.
The nickname is generated as `LDAP_ORGANIZATION/displayName`, for example `example/Mateusz Testowy`. Directory accounts are stored using a stable `entryUUID` (LDAP) or `objectGUID` (AD), while e-mail, nickname, and DN are synchronized after every successful login.
### OpenLDAP
```env
AUTHORIZATION_TYPE=ldap
LDAP_URL=ldap://10.87.2.6:389
LDAP_STARTTLS=false
LDAP_BIND_DN=cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org
LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD=admin
LDAP_BASE_DN=ou=people,dc=example,dc=org
LDAP_ORGANIZATION=example
```
In `ldap` mode the defaults are:
```env
LDAP_USER_FILTER=(uid={username})
LDAP_USERNAME_ATTRIBUTE=uid
LDAP_EMAIL_ATTRIBUTE=mail
LDAP_DISPLAY_NAME_ATTRIBUTE=displayName
```
### Active Directory
```env
AUTHORIZATION_TYPE=ad
LDAP_URL=ldaps://ad.example.org:636
LDAP_STARTTLS=false
LDAP_BASE_DN=DC=example,DC=org
LDAP_BIND_DN=CN=rustpad-bind,OU=Service Accounts,DC=example,DC=org
LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD=secret
LDAP_ORGANIZATION=example
```
In `ad` mode the defaults are:
```env
LDAP_USER_FILTER=(|(sAMAccountName={username})(userPrincipalName={username}))
LDAP_USERNAME_ATTRIBUTE=sAMAccountName
LDAP_EMAIL_ATTRIBUTE=mail
LDAP_DISPLAY_NAME_ATTRIBUTE=displayName
```
All LDAP attributes and filters can still be overridden explicitly. By default TLS certificates are verified. For a trusted internal or test server using a self-signed certificate, `LDAP_TLS_VERIFY=false` keeps LDAPS/StartTLS encryption enabled without requiring a custom CA file. Do not disable verification on untrusted networks.
Additional directory options:
```env
LDAP_EXTERNAL_ID_ATTRIBUTE=entryUUID
LDAP_EMAIL_REQUIRED=true
LDAP_LINK_EXISTING_BY_EMAIL=false
LDAP_TLS_VERIFY=true
LDAP_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=5
LDAP_OPERATION_TIMEOUT_SECONDS=10
```
For Active Directory, the default external identifier is `objectGUID`. Set `LDAP_LINK_EXISTING_BY_EMAIL=true` only during an intentional migration of existing local or legacy LDAP accounts; otherwise an e-mail collision is rejected.
### Test LDAP on 10.87.2.6
```bash
cd docker/ldap
docker compose up -d
```
Test users:
- `admin` / `test1234`
- `user` / `test1234`
phpLDAPadmin: `http://10.0.0.1:8088`
Administrator: `cn=admin,dc=example,dc=org` / `admin`
## CLI and YAML configuration
RustPad reads `.env` as before and can additionally load a YAML file. Environment variables have higher priority than YAML values.
```bash
rustpad --version
rustpad --help
rustpad --config /etc/rustpad/rustpad.yaml check-config
rustpad --config /etc/rustpad/rustpad.yaml migrate
rustpad --config /etc/rustpad/rustpad.yaml
```
`check-config` validates YAML syntax, supported keys, value types, required LDAP/S3/SMTP fields, database URL scheme, paths and dependent settings. It does not connect to the database or LDAP server. Example deployment files are in `systemd/`.
### Database query layout
SQL is selected explicitly by database engine. Application code uses logical query identifiers from `src/queries/mod.rs`; complete engine-specific statements live in:
- `src/queries/sqlite.rs`
- `src/queries/postgres.rs`
- `src/queries/mysql.rs`
PostgreSQL statements use native `$1`, `$2`, ... placeholders. Query text is not rewritten at runtime, and result-shape casts are defined independently for each engine.
