# Deploying Conduit
|
|
|
|
## Getting help
|
|
|
|
If you run into any problems while setting up Conduit, write an email to `support@conduit.rs`, ask us in `#conduit:matrix.org` or [open an issue on GitLab](https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit/-/issues/new).
|
|
|
|
## Installing Conduit
|
|
|
|
You have to download the binary that fits your machine. Run `uname -m` to see
|
|
what you need. Now copy the right url:
|
|
- x84_64: `https://conduit.rs/master/x86_64/conduit-bin`
|
|
- armv7: `https://conduit.rs/master/armv7/conduit-bin`
|
|
- armv8: `https://conduit.rs/master/armv8/conduit-bin`
|
|
- arm: `https://conduit.rs/master/arm/conduit-bin`
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo wget -O /usr/local/bin/matrix-conduit <url>
|
|
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/matrix-conduit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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=root
|
|
Group=root
|
|
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 name of this server. It is used as a suffix for user
|
|
# and room ids. Examples: matrix.org, conduit.rs
|
|
# The Conduit server needs to be reachable at https://your.server.name/ on port
|
|
# 443 (client-server) and 8448 (federation) OR 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/conduit_db"
|
|
|
|
# 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
|
|
port = 6167
|
|
|
|
# Max size for uploads
|
|
max_request_size = 20_000_000 # in bytes
|
|
|
|
# Disabling registration means no new users will be able to register on this server
|
|
allow_registration = false
|
|
|
|
# Disable encryption, so no new encrypted rooms can be created
|
|
# Note: existing rooms will continue to work
|
|
allow_encryption = true
|
|
allow_federation = true
|
|
|
|
#cache_capacity = 1073741824 # in bytes, 1024 * 1024 * 1024
|
|
#max_concurrent_requests = 4 # How many requests Conduit sends to other servers at the same time
|
|
#workers = 4 # default: cpu core count * 2
|
|
|
|
address = "127.0.0.1" # This makes sure Conduit can only be reached using the reverse proxy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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:
|
|
```
|
|
Listen 8448
|
|
|
|
<VirtualHost *:443 *:8448>
|
|
|
|
ServerName your.server.name # EDIT THIS
|
|
|
|
AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
|
|
ProxyPass /_matrix/ http://localhost:6167/
|
|
ProxyPassReverse /_matrix/ http://localhost:6167/
|
|
|
|
Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
|
|
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/your.server.name/fullchain.pem # EDIT THIS
|
|
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/your.server.name/privkey.pem # EDIT THIS
|
|
</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`
|
|
```
|
|
server {
|
|
listen 443;
|
|
listen 8448;
|
|
server_name your.server.name; # EDIT THIS
|
|
|
|
location /_matrix/ {
|
|
proxy_pass http://localhost:6167/_matrix/;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
**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
|
|
```
|
