This repository contains all components that make up TrailBase including client libraries, tests, documentation and examples. Only the benchmarks are kept separately due to their external dependencies.
Pre-built static binaries are available as GitHub releases for Linux an MacOS.
Moreover, client packages and containers are available via:
You can run pre-built TrailBase either by downloading the latest release and running
$ ./trail runor using docker:
$ mkdir traildepot
$ alias trail="docker run -p 4000:4000 --mount type=bind,source=$PWD/traildepot,target=/app/traildepot trailbase/trailbase /app/trail"
$ trail run. Run trail --help to get a full list of commands. If you don't want to rely
on pre-built binaries, TrailBase is easy to build yourself, see below.
If you have all the necessary dependencies (rust, nodejs, pnpm, ...) installed, you can build TrailBase simply by running:
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
$ cargo build --releaseTo build fully static binaries on Linux (et al):
$ RUSTFLAGS="-C target-feature=+crt-static" cargo build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --releaseAlternatively, if you want a container or don't have to deal with dependencies, you can build using docker:
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
$ docker build . -t trailbaseContributions are very much appreciated 🙏. For anything beyond bug fixes, let's quickly chat to see how a proposal fits into the overall roadmap and avoid any surprises.
We're not sure yet what the best setup or exact license is for compatibility between OSL-3.0 and more popular licenses or use as a framework. So we'd ask you to sign a simple CLA that retains your copyright, ensures that TrailBase will continue to forever be freely available under an OSI-approved copyleft license, while allowing for some flexibility and sub-licensing as established by much larger, successful projects such as Grafana or Element.
TrailBase is free software under the terms of the OSL-3.0.
We chose this license over more popular, similar copyleft licenses such as AGPLv3 due to its narrower definition of derivative work that only covers modifications to TrailBase itself. This is similar to GPL's classpath exception or LGPL's linkage exception allowing the use of TrailBase as a framework without inflicting licensing requirements on original work layered on top. That said, we ain't lawyers. The author of the license provides a more thorough explanation. If you have any concerns or advice for us, please reach out.
If you require an exception, reach out to contact@trailbase.io.
