The master branch contains the latest changes and may not be stable for general use, if you would like to compile a stable version from source its recommended you use a specific tag rather than master
Pocket Relay Is a custom implementation of the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer servers all bundled into a easy to use server with a Dashboard for managing accounts and inventories.

Build instructions can be found here.
Note Building the server can be resource-intensive.
If you are building for a version older than Windows 10 you will need to use Rust v1.75.0 or lower as Rust has dropped support for <10 after that. The server should compile on this version but future breaking changes to the project may cause that to no longer be the case.
This project also includes a Makefile.toml for cargo make however its more intended for maintainers only in order to do cross compiling, building multiple versions in parallel, signing builds, creating docker releases etc
Requires installing https://github.com/sagiegurari/cargo-make
cargo make -t build-allcargo make -t build-windowsNote
When building for Windows on a Windows host you can sign the executable by providing a SIGN_FILE (File path to the .pfx file to use for signing) and SIGN_PASSWORD (The password to the .pdf file) you will also need to obtain a copy of signtool.exe and set the SIGNTOOL_PATH to be the path to that file
After doing that Windows builds will be signed using the provided credentials
cargo make -t build-linuxImportant
The intended release must first be up on GitHub once its up on GitHub make sure to set the GITHUB_RELEASE_VERSION environment variable so the right version will be used make sure you don't include the v prefix just the version number (e.g 0.6.1)
The DOCKER_IMAGE_NAME env variable must be set to the intended docker image name (e.g jacobtread/pocket-relay)
To build for the specific tag (Uses the version listed in the Cargo.toml):
cargo make -t build-docker-versionTo build for the "latest" tag:
cargo make -t build-docker-latestTo build for both tags:
cargo make -t build-docker-allTo publish for the specific tag (Uses the version listed in the Cargo.toml):
cargo make -t publish-docker-versionTo publish for the "latest" tag:
cargo make -t publish-docker-latestTo publish for both tags:
cargo make -t publish-docker-all
