JFrog and Cargo Registry

Artifactory natively supports Cargo repositories for the Rust language, giving you full control of your deployment and the dependency resolution process of Rust crates through the Cargo package manager. Rust is an open-source systems programming language that focuses on speed, memory safety, and parallelism, and is used for a wide range of systems and embedded applications.

Secure Cargo Registries

Create an unlimited number of private Cargo registries to securely share Rust crates across your organization through fine-grained access control based on teams, projects or other criteria. Proxy and cache Rust crates from the public crates.io repository with remote repositories, and aggregate local and remote resources under a single virtual Cargo repository to access all your Rust crates from a single URL.

Universal Cloud Native Solution

Build your Rust crates into containers stored in private Docker registries in Artifactory. Fully automate your CI/CD pipeline through Artifactory REST APIs and the JFrog CLI to store exhaustive build information with your containers for traceability to Cargo metadata. As your universal package manager for Cargo, Docker, Helm, and more, Artifactory is your single source of truth for cloud native apps.

Enterprise Ready

Whether on-premises, in the cloud, or as a hybrid system, Artifactory is built to serve the most demanding enterprises. With advanced storage capabilities, high availability, multi-site geo-replication, and ready integration with SSO, Artifactory is massively scalable to enable global teams to collaborate with up to five-nines reliability.

Why are Cargo and JFrog better together?

Today JFrog Artifactory natively supports Cargo registries for the Rust programming language, providing complete control of your deployment and resolution of Cargo packages.

A Cargo registry can be used to proxy remote Cargo resources and cache downloaded packages. Secure your packages using a local Cargo repository and much more.

What is Cargo, and what do I use it for?

According to the Rust Foundation, “Cargo is Rust’s build system and package manager. Most Rustaceans use this tool to manage their Rust projects because Cargo handles many tasks for you, such as building your code, downloading the libraries your code depends on, and building those libraries. (We call the libraries that your code needs dependencies.)”

What is the Rust programming language, and how is it used?

Rust is a multi-paradigm, general-purpose programming language focused on safety and performance, similar to C and C++. Rust is fast and memory-efficient with no garbage collector.

How do I install Rust and Cargo?

The easiest way to get Cargo is to install the current stable release of Rust by using rustup. Installing Rust using rustup will also install cargo. To install Rust and Cargo, follow these steps.

Can I build and install Cargo from Source?

Yes, you can build Cargo from source.

How do I use Cargo?

Cargo is a smart client that allows you to build, run and test your projects. Here are some helpful Cargo commands that take you through a typical workflow (these commands may be run with verbose [-v] or very verbose [-vv] mode):

  1. Build your project:
    $ cargo build
  2. Run your project:
    $ cargo run
  3. Test your project:
    $ cargo test
  4. Build documentation for your project:
    $ cargo doc
  5. Publish a library to crates.io:
    $ cargo publish
How do I manage Rust packages with Cargo?

Cargo’s syntax and methodology are pretty straightforward. Learn more about TOML and managing Rust packages with Cargo here.

What is a Rust crate?

A Rust crate is either a library or an executable program, referred to as a library crate or a binary crate.

Every target defined for a Cargo package is a crate.

The term crate may refer to either the target's source code or the compiled artifact that the target produces. It may also refer to a compressed package fetched from a registry.

The source code for a given crate may be subdivided into modules.

How can I use Cargo repositories in Artifactory to accelerate my software development lifecycle?

The Rust community maintains the crates.io package registry for distributing open-source packages. As a Rust programmer, you’ll rely on this growing public library for most of the core services of your applications.

For uninterrupted speed and consistency of your Rust builds across teams, use an Artifactory remote repository to proxy crates.io.

A remote repository in Artifactory serves as a caching proxy for a repository or registry managed at a remote URL. There will be no difference between the contents of the remote repo and the native source.

How can I deploy Rust packages with Crates.io?

Learn more about deploying Rust packages to a production system and sharing the application with other users.

How can I set up a remote repository proxy for crates.io?

You can get even more functionality and features out of Cargo by combining it with JFrog Artifactory as a Cargo registry. Learn more about setting up a remote repository proxy for crates.io.
