Docs.rs is great, but if you want to host yourself it's pretty easy.

Or use https://kellnr.io to host your crates. It automatically builds the corresponding docs and hosts them for you. Disclaimer: I'm the author.

Dark mode

I'm sold.

FYI you get that with self-hosting Rust docs too.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Yup, but crates.io doesn't have a dark theme. Fortunately cargo search exists though.

[-] kdwarn@programming.dev 1 points 5 months ago

Ah, I see. If you want a whole registry.

I meant for the private and cached packages, not a full mirror. Having at least dark mode on all parts of the UI, not just the docs, is nice, and I wish crates.io supported it.

I don't care about dark mode enough to mirror all of crates.io, I'd rather just use a browser addon on to toggle the background and text.
