Hightower Gateway

Gateway service for the Hightower project.

Building

cargo build

Running

Using the Makefile (recommended):

make dev

Or directly with cargo:

HT_AUTH_KEY=test-auth-key cargo run

Testing

make test
# or
cargo test

Configuration

The gateway can be configured using environment variables:

• HT_AUTH_KEY - Authentication key for the gateway (required)
• HT_DEFAULT_USER - Default admin username (default: admin)
• HT_DEFAULT_PASSWORD - Default admin password (default: admin)
• RUST_LOG - Log level (default: info, use debug for verbose output)

Key-Value Store

By default, the gateway uses a temporary directory for the KV store. To use a persistent directory:

cargo run -- --kv /path/to/store

Web Console

The web console is rendered server-side using Askama templates located in the templates/ directory:

• templates/login.html - Login page
• templates/dashboard.html - Dashboard page
• templates/login_alert.html - Login alert fragment
• templates/nodes_table.html - Nodes table fragment

The templates compile with the Rust code, so no separate build step is needed.
