Getting Started

Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating a Hello World Rust web application server that runs on top of Ginger OS. The tutorial will first install gingervm. GingerVM is the command line utility for creating virtual machines that run on top of Ginger OS. Next, the tutorial will show how to use gingervm to create a virtual machine that runs the Hello World Rust application. At the end, a new Ginger OS machine will run the application, and we will use curl to interact with the application.

Requirements

These instructions are intended to be run on an x86_64 Ubuntu AWS instance. In this tutorial, the Ginger OS virtual machine will be launched using QEMU on the AWS instance.

Once you have configured this instance, log into it and proceed with the rest of this tutorial.
