|
## Installing Conduit
|
|
|
|
Although you might be able to compile Conduit for Windows, we do recommend running it on a linux server. We therefore
|
|
only offer Linux binaries.
|
|
|
|
You may simply download the binary that fits your machine. Run `uname -m` to see what you need. Now copy the right url:

|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/matrix-conduit <url>
|
|
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/matrix-conduit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you may compile the binary yourself
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo apt install libclang-dev build-essential
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ cargo build --release
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that this currently requires Rust 1.50.
|
|
|
|
If you want to cross compile Conduit to another architecture, read the [Cross-Compile Guide](cross/README.md).
|
|
|
|
## Adding a Conduit user
|
|
|
|
While Conduit can run as any user it is usually better to use dedicated users for different services. This also allows
|
|
you to make sure that the file permissions are correctly set up.
|
|
|
|
In Debian you can use this command to create a Conduit user:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo adduser --system conduit --no-create-home
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Setting up a systemd service
|
|
|
|
Now we'll set up a systemd service for Conduit, so it's easy to start/stop Conduit and set it to autostart when your
|
|
server reboots. Simply paste the default systemd service you can find below into
|
|
`/etc/systemd/system/conduit.service`.
|
|
|
|
```systemd
|
|
[Unit]
|
|
Description=Conduit Matrix Server
|
|
After=network.target
|
|
|
|
[Service]
|
|
Environment="CONDUIT_CONFIG=/etc/matrix-conduit/conduit.toml"
|
|
User=conduit
|
|
Group=nogroup
|
|
Restart=always
|
|
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/matrix-conduit
|
|
|
|
[Install]
|
|
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Finally, run
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Creating the Conduit configuration file
|
|
|
|
Now we need to create the Conduit's config file in `/etc/matrix-conduit/conduit.toml`. Paste this in **and take a moment
|
|
to read it. You need to change at least the server name.**
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[global]
|
|
# The server_name is the pretty name of this server. It is used as a suffix for user
|
|
# and room ids. Examples: matrix.org, conduit.rs
|
|
|
|
# The Conduit server needs all /_matrix/ requests to be reachable at
|
|
# https://your.server.name/ on port 443 (client-server) and 8448 (federation).
|
|
|
|
# If that's not possible for you, you can create /.well-known files to redirect
|
|
# requests. See
|
|
# https://matrix.org/docs/spec/client_server/latest#get-well-known-matrix-client
|
|
# and
|
|
# https://matrix.org/docs/spec/server_server/r0.1.4#get-well-known-matrix-server
|
|
# for more information
|
|
|
|
# YOU NEED TO EDIT THIS
|
|
#server_name = "your.server.name"
|
|
|
|
# This is the only directory where Conduit will save its data
|
|
database_path = "/var/lib/matrix-conduit/"
|
|
database_backend = "rocksdb"
|
|
|
|
# The port Conduit will be running on. You need to set up a reverse proxy in
|
|
# your web server (e.g. apache or nginx), so all requests to /_matrix on port
|
|
# 443 and 8448 will be forwarded to the Conduit instance running on this port
|
|
# Docker users: Don't change this, you'll need to map an external port to this.
|
|
port = 6167
|
|
|
|
# Max size for uploads
|
|
max_request_size = 20_000_000 # in bytes
|
|
|
|
# Enables registration. If set to false, no users can register on this server.
|
|
allow_registration = true
|
|
|
|
allow_federation = true
|
|
|
|
trusted_servers = ["matrix.org"]
|
|
|
|
#max_concurrent_requests = 100 # How many requests Conduit sends to other servers at the same time
|
|
#log = "info,state_res=warn,rocket=off,_=off,sled=off"
|
|
|
|
address = "127.0.0.1" # This makes sure Conduit can only be reached using the reverse proxy
|
|
#address = "0.0.0.0" # If Conduit is running in a container, make sure the reverse proxy (ie. Traefik) can reach it.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Setting the correct file permissions
|
|
|
|
As we are using a Conduit specific user we need to allow it to read the config. To do that you can run this command on
|
|
Debian:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo chown -R conduit:nogroup /etc/matrix-conduit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you use the default database path you also need to run this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/matrix-conduit/
|
|
sudo chown -R conduit:nogroup /var/lib/matrix-conduit/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Setting up the Reverse Proxy
|
|
|
|
This depends on whether you use Apache, Nginx or another web server.
|
|
|
|
### Apache
|
|
|
|
Create `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/050-conduit.conf` and copy-and-paste this:
|
|
|
|
```apache
|
|
Listen 8448
|
|
|
|
<VirtualHost *:443 *:8448>
|
|
|
|
ServerName your.server.name # EDIT THIS
|
|
|
|
AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
|
|
ProxyPass /_matrix/ http://127.0.0.1:6167/_matrix/ nocanon
|
|
ProxyPassReverse /_matrix/ http://127.0.0.1:6167/_matrix/
|
|
|
|
</VirtualHost>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**You need to make some edits again.** When you are done, run
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo systemctl reload apache2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Nginx
|
|
|
|
If you use Nginx and not Apache, add the following server section inside the http section of `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`
|
|
|
|
```nginx
|
|
server {
|
|
listen 443 ssl http2;
|
|
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
|
|
listen 8448 ssl http2;
|
|
listen [::]:8448 ssl http2;
|
|
server_name your.server.name; # EDIT THIS
|
|
merge_slashes off;
|
|
|
|
location /_matrix/ {
|
|
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6167$request_uri;
|
|
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
|
|
proxy_buffering off;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/your.server.name/fullchain.pem; # EDIT THIS
|
|
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/your.server.name/privkey.pem; # EDIT THIS
|
|
ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/your.server.name/chain.pem; # EDIT THIS
|
|
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**You need to make some edits again.** When you are done, run
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo systemctl reload nginx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## SSL Certificate
|
|
|
|
The easiest way to get an SSL certificate, if you don't have one already, is to install `certbot` and run this:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo certbot -d your.server.name
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## You're done!
|
|
|
|
Now you can start Conduit with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo systemctl start conduit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Set it to start automatically when your system boots with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo systemctl enable conduit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How do I know it works?
|
|
|
|
You can open <https://app.element.io>, enter your homeserver and try to register.
|
|
|
|
You can also use these commands as a quick health check.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ curl https://your.server.name/_matrix/client/versions
|
|
$ curl https://your.server.name:8448/_matrix/client/versions
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- To check if your server can talk with other homeservers, you can use the [Matrix Federation Tester](https://federationtester.matrix.org/)
