It is common to have a markdown file per deployment subdirectory. Still install it as `README.Debian` to `/usr/share/doc/matrix-conduit` as per Debian policy. Also update the link in the main `README.md` file.
1.1 KiB
Conduit for Debian
Configuration
When installed, Debconf generates the configuration of the homeserver
(host)name, the address and port it listens on. This configuration ends up in
/etc/matrix-conduit/conduit.toml.
You can tweak more detailed settings by uncommenting and setting the variables
in /etc/matrix-conduit/conduit.toml. This involves settings such as the maximum
file size for download/upload, enabling federation, etc.
Running
The package uses the matrix-conduit.service systemd unit file to start and
stop Conduit. It loads the configuration file mentioned above to set up the
environment before running the server.
This package assumes by default that Conduit will be placed behind a reverse
proxy such as Apache or nginx. This default deployment entails just listening
on 127.0.0.1 and the free port 6167 and is reachable via a client using the URL
http://localhost:6167.
At a later stage this packaging may support also setting up TLS and running stand-alone. In this case, however, you need to set up some certificates and renewal, for it to work properly.
