Literally trying this out on a raspberry pi right before I saw this.
I wanted to try building from scratch. 0 issues with compiling. Still trying to talk to it—probably just some issues with my local DNS. Very impressive to see this kind of thing though! This looks like an excellent candidate for a p2p implementation!
UPDATE: It is running! I just need to get nginx set up. It was really easy to get everything else running, (really nice to not have to configure a db!) and that I think will be a boon to those interested in starting up their own home servers.
For the people who, like me, were curious about the lack of DB to configure, the options for storage seem to be Sled[1] or SQLite.
