Function start_rcs

pub async fn start_rcs(email: &str, config: &Config) -> Authority

Idempotently starts the rust-code-server instance for the use identified by their email. Returns the an Authority specifying the host and port of the server instance.

On first run:

• a volume named by the email (transliterated) is created

• then a rust-code-server container is started which mounts the volume into /home/workspace. The container publishes a random port for connecting to the vscode (returned in the Authority). The container’s name the same as the volume’s.

Panics

The function will panic if:

• the Config::socket_path is invalid

• it cannot connect to the socket

• it cannot create the volume or the container
