# Deploy using Docker
> **Note:** To run and use Conduit you should probably use it with a Domain or Subdomain behind a reverse proxy (like Nginx, Traefik, Apache, ...) with a Lets Encrypt certificate.
## Docker
To run conduwuit with Docker you can either build the image yourself or pull it from a registry.
### Use a registry
OCI images for conduwuit are available in the registries listed below. We recommend using the image tagged as `latest` from GitLab's own registry.
| Registry | Image | Size | Notes |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ---------------------- |
| GitHub Registry | [ghcr.io/girlbossceo/conduwuit:latest][gh] | ![Image Size][shield-latest] | Stable image. |
| Docker Hub | [docker.io/girlbossceo/conduwuit:latest][dh] | ![Image Size][shield-latest] | Stable image. |
| GitHub Registry | [ghcr.io/girlbossceo/conduwuit:main][gh] | ![Image Size][shield-main] | Development version. |
| Docker Hub | [docker.io/girlbossceo/conduwuit:main][dh] | ![Image Size][shield-main] | Development version. |
[dh]: https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/girlbossceo/conduwuit
[gh]: https://github.com/girlbossceo/conduwuit/pkgs/container/conduwuit
[shield-latest]: https://img.shields.io/docker/image-size/girlbossceo/conduwuit/latest
[shield-main]: https://img.shields.io/docker/image-size/girlbossceo/conduwuit/main
Use
```bash
docker image pull <link>
```
to pull it to your machine.
### Build using a dockerfile
The Dockerfile provided by Conduit has two stages, each of which creates an image.
1. **Builder:** Builds the binary from local context or by cloning a git revision from the official repository.
2. **Runner:** Copies the built binary from **Builder** and sets up the runtime environment, like creating a volume to persist the database and applying the correct permissions.
To build the image you can use the following command
```bash
docker build --tag girlbossceo/conduwuit:main .
```
which also will tag the resulting image as `girlbossceo/conduwuit:main`.
### Run
When you have the image you can simply run it with
```bash
docker run -d -p 8448:6167 \
-v db:/var/lib/matrix-conduit/ \
-e CONDUIT_SERVER_NAME="your.server.name" \
-e CONDUIT_DATABASE_BACKEND="rocksdb" \
-e CONDUIT_ALLOW_REGISTRATION=true \
-e CONDUIT_ALLOW_FEDERATION=true \
-e CONDUIT_MAX_REQUEST_SIZE="20000000" \
-e CONDUIT_TRUSTED_SERVERS="[\"matrix.org\"]" \
-e CONDUIT_MAX_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS="500" \
-e CONDUIT_LOG="warn,ruma_state_res=warn" \
--name conduit <link>
```
or you can use [docker-compose](#docker-compose).
The `-d` flag lets the container run in detached mode. You now need to supply a `conduit.toml` config file, an example can be found [here](../configuration.md).
You can pass in different env vars to change config values on the fly. You can even configure Conduit completely by using env vars, but for that you need
to pass `-e CONDUIT_CONFIG=""` into your container. For an overview of possible values, please take a look at the `docker-compose.yml` file.
If you just want to test Conduit for a short time, you can use the `--rm` flag, which will clean up everything related to your container after you stop it.
### Docker-compose
If the `docker run` command is not for you or your setup, you can also use one of the provided `docker-compose` files.
Depending on your proxy setup, you can use one of the following files;
- If you already have a `traefik` instance set up, use [`docker-compose.for-traefik.yml`](docker-compose.for-traefik.yml)
- If you don't have a `traefik` instance set up (or any other reverse proxy), use [`docker-compose.with-traefik.yml`](docker-compose.with-traefik.yml)
- For any other reverse proxy, use [`docker-compose.yml`](docker-compose.yml)
When picking the traefik-related compose file, rename it so it matches `docker-compose.yml`, and
rename the override file to `docker-compose.override.yml`. Edit the latter with the values you want
for your server.
Additional info about deploying Conduit can be found [here](simple.md).
### Build
To build the Conduit image with docker-compose, you first need to open and modify the `docker-compose.yml` file. There you need to comment the `image:` option and uncomment the `build:` option. Then call docker-compose with:
```bash
docker-compose up
```
This will also start the container right afterwards, so if want it to run in detached mode, you also should use the `-d` flag.
### Run
If you already have built the image or want to use one from the registries, you can just start the container and everything else in the compose file in detached mode with:
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
> **Note:** Don't forget to modify and adjust the compose file to your needs.
### Use Traefik as Proxy
As a container user, you probably know about Traefik. It is a easy to use reverse proxy for making
containerized app and services available through the web. With the two provided files,
[`docker-compose.for-traefik.yml`](docker-compose.for-traefik.yml) (or
[`docker-compose.with-traefik.yml`](docker-compose.with-traefik.yml)) and
[`docker-compose.override.yml`](docker-compose.override.yml), it is equally easy to deploy
and use Conduit, with a little caveat. If you already took a look at the files, then you should have
seen the `well-known` service, and that is the little caveat. Traefik is simply a proxy and
loadbalancer and is not able to serve any kind of content, but for Conduit to federate, we need to
either expose ports `443` and `8448` or serve two endpoints `.well-known/matrix/client` and
`.well-known/matrix/server`.
With the service `well-known` we use a single `nginx` container that will serve those two files.
So...step by step:
1. Copy [`docker-compose.for-traefik.yml`](docker-compose.for-traefik.yml) (or
[`docker-compose.with-traefik.yml`](docker-compose.with-traefik.yml)) and [`docker-compose.override.yml`](docker-compose.override.yml) from the repository and remove `.for-traefik` (or `.with-traefik`) from the filename.
2. Open both files and modify/adjust them to your needs. Meaning, change the `CONDUIT_SERVER_NAME` and the volume host mappings according to your needs.
3. Create the `conduit.toml` config file, an example can be found [here](../configuration.md), or set `CONDUIT_CONFIG=""` and configure Conduit per env vars.
4. Uncomment the `element-web` service if you want to host your own Element Web Client and create a `element_config.json`.
5. Create the files needed by the `well-known` service.
- `./nginx/matrix.conf` (relative to the compose file, you can change this, but then also need to change the volume mapping)
```nginx
server {
server_name <SUBDOMAIN>.<DOMAIN>;
listen 80 default_server;
location /.well-known/matrix/server {
return 200 '{"m.server": "<SUBDOMAIN>.<DOMAIN>:443"}';
types { } default_type "application/json; charset=utf-8";
}
location /.well-known/matrix/client {
return 200 '{"m.homeserver": {"base_url": "https://<SUBDOMAIN>.<DOMAIN>"}}';
types { } default_type "application/json; charset=utf-8";
add_header "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" *;
}
location / {
return 404;
}
}
```
6. Run `docker-compose up -d`
7. Connect to your homeserver with your preferred client and create a user. You should do this immediately after starting Conduit, because the first created user is the admin.
## Voice communication
In order to make or receive calls, a TURN server is required. Conduit suggests using [Coturn](https://github.com/coturn/coturn) for this purpose, which is also available as a Docker image. Before proceeding with the software installation, it is essential to have the necessary configurations in place.
### Configuration
Create a configuration file called `coturn.conf` containing:
```conf
use-auth-secret
static-auth-secret=<a secret key>
realm=<your server domain>
```
A common way to generate a suitable alphanumeric secret key is by using `pwgen -s 64 1`.
These same values need to be set in conduit. You can either modify conduit.toml to include these lines:
```
turn_uris = ["turn:<your server domain>?transport=udp", "turn:<your server domain>?transport=tcp"]
turn_secret = "<secret key from coturn configuration>"
```
or append the following to the docker environment variables dependig on which configuration method you used earlier:
```yml
CONDUIT_TURN_URIS: '["turn:<your server domain>?transport=udp", "turn:<your server domain>?transport=tcp"]'
CONDUIT_TURN_SECRET: "<secret key from coturn configuration>"
```
Restart Conduit to apply these changes.
### Run
Run the [Coturn](https://hub.docker.com/r/coturn/coturn) image using
```bash
docker run -d --network=host -v $(pwd)/coturn.conf:/etc/coturn/turnserver.conf coturn/coturn
```
or docker-compose. For the latter, paste the following section into a file called `docker-compose.yml`
and run `docker-compose up -d` in the same directory.
```yml
version: 3
services:
turn:
container_name: coturn-server
image: docker.io/coturn/coturn
restart: unless-stopped
network_mode: "host"
volumes:
- ./coturn.conf:/etc/coturn/turnserver.conf
```
To understand why the host networking mode is used and explore alternative configuration options, please visit the following link: https://github.com/coturn/coturn/blob/master/docker/coturn/README.md.
For security recommendations see Synapse's [Coturn documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/develop/docs/setup/turn/coturn.md#configuration).

# Conduit for Nix/NixOS
This guide assumes you have a recent version of Nix (^2.4) installed.
Since Conduit ships as a Nix flake, you'll first need to [enable
flakes][enable_flakes].
A binary cache for conduwuit that the CI/CD publishes to is available at the
following places (both are the same just different names):
```
https://attic.kennel.juneis.dog/conduit
conduit:Isq8FGyEC6FOXH6nD+BOeAA+bKp6X6UIbupSlGEPuOg=
https://attic.kennel.juneis.dog/conduwuit
conduwuit:lYPVh7o1hLu1idH4Xt2QHaRa49WRGSAqzcfFd94aOTw=
```
You can now use the usual Nix commands to interact with conduwuit's flake. For
example, `nix run github:girlbossceo/conduwuit` will run conduwuit (though you'll need
to provide configuration and such manually as usual).
If your NixOS configuration is defined as a flake, you can depend on this flake
to provide a more up-to-date version than provided by `nixpkgs`. In your flake,
add the following to your `inputs`:
```nix
conduit = {
url = "github:girlbossceo/conduwuit";
# Assuming you have an input for nixpkgs called `nixpkgs`. If you experience
# build failures while using this, try commenting/deleting this line. This
# will probably also require you to always build from source.
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
```
Next, make sure you're passing your flake inputs to the `specialArgs` argument
of `nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem` [as explained here][specialargs]. This guide will
assume you've named the group `flake-inputs`.
Now you can configure conduwuit and a reverse proxy for it. Add the following to
a new Nix file and include it in your configuration:
```nix
{ config
, pkgs
, flake-inputs
, ...
}:
let
# You'll need to edit these values
# The hostname that will appear in your user and room IDs
server_name = "example.com";
# The hostname that Conduit actually runs on
#
# This can be the same as `server_name` if you want. This is only necessary
# when Conduit is running on a different machine than the one hosting your
# root domain. This configuration also assumes this is all running on a single
# machine, some tweaks will need to be made if this is not the case.
matrix_hostname = "matrix.${server_name}";
# An admin email for TLS certificate notifications
admin_email = "admin@${server_name}";
# These ones you can leave alone
# Build a dervation that stores the content of `${server_name}/.well-known/matrix/server`
well_known_server = pkgs.writeText "well-known-matrix-server" ''
{
"m.server": "${matrix_hostname}"
}
'';
# Build a dervation that stores the content of `${server_name}/.well-known/matrix/client`
well_known_client = pkgs.writeText "well-known-matrix-client" ''
{
"m.homeserver": {
"base_url": "https://${matrix_hostname}"
}
}
'';

# Simple setup
This is the recommended way to set up Conduit. It is the easiest way to get started and is suitable for most use cases.
### Please note that this documentation is not fully representative of conduwuit at the moment. Assume majority of it is outdated.
> ## Getting help
>
> If you run into any problems while setting up conduwuit, ask us
> in `#conduwuit:puppygock.gay` or [open an issue on GitHub](https://github.com/girlbossceo/conduwuit/issues/new).
## Installing conduwuit
You may simply download the binary that fits your machine. Run `uname -m` to see what you need.
Prebuilt binaries can be downloaded from the latest successful CI workflow on the main branch here: https://github.com/girlbossceo/conduwuit/actions/workflows/ci.yml?query=branch%3Amain+actor%3Agirlbossceo
```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. First, install any dependencies:
```bash
# Debian
$ sudo apt install libclang-dev build-essential
# RHEL
$ sudo dnf install clang
```
Then, `cd` into the source tree of conduit-next and run:
```bash
$ cargo build --release
```
If you want to cross compile Conduit to another architecture, read the guide below.
<details>
<summary>Cross compilation</summary>
As easiest way to compile conduit for another platform [cross-rs](https://github.com/cross-rs/cross) is recommended, so install it first.
In order to use RockDB as storage backend append `-latomic` to linker flags.
For example, to build a binary for Raspberry Pi Zero W (ARMv6) you need `arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf` as compilation
target.
```bash
git clone https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit.git
cd conduit
export RUSTFLAGS='-C link-arg=-lgcc -Clink-arg=-latomic -Clink-arg=-static-libgcc'
cross build --release --no-default-features --features conduit_bin,backend_rocksdb --target=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
```
</details>
## 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 or RHEL, you can use this command to create a Conduit user:
```bash
sudo adduser --system conduit --group --disabled-login --no-create-home
```
## Forwarding ports in the firewall or the router
Conduit uses the ports 443 and 8448 both of which need to be open in the firewall.
If Conduit runs behind a router or in a container and has a different public IP address than the host system these public ports need to be forwarded directly or indirectly to the port mentioned in the config.
## Optional: Avoid port 8448
If Conduit runs behind Cloudflare reverse proxy, which doesn't support port 8448 on free plans, [delegation](https://matrix-org.github.io/synapse/latest/delegate.html) can be set up to have federation traffic routed to port 443:
```apache
# .well-known delegation on Apache
<Files "/.well-known/matrix/server">
ErrorDocument 200 '{"m.server": "your.server.name:443"}'
Header always set Content-Type application/json
Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Origin *
</Files>
```
[SRV DNS record](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/server-server-api/#resolving-server-names) delegation is also [possible](https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/learning/dns/dns-records/dns-srv-record/).
## 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=conduit
RuntimeDirectory=conduit
RuntimeDirectoryMode=0750
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/conduwuit/conduwuit.toml`. Paste this in **and take a moment
to read it. You need to change at least the server name.**
You can also choose to use a different database backend, but right now only `rocksdb` and `sqlite` are recommended.
See the following example config at [conduwuit-example.toml](../configuration.md)
## 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 or RHEL:
```bash
sudo chown -R root:root /etc/matrix-conduit
sudo chmod 755 /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:conduit /var/lib/matrix-conduit/
sudo chmod 700 /var/lib/matrix-conduit/
```
## Setting up the Reverse Proxy
This depends on whether you use Apache, Caddy, Nginx or another web server.
### Apache
Create `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/050-conduit.conf` and copy-and-paste this:
```apache
# Requires mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http
#
# On Apache instance compiled from source,
# paste into httpd-ssl.conf or httpd.conf
Listen 8448
<VirtualHost *:443 *:8448>
ServerName your.server.name # EDIT THIS
AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
# TCP
ProxyPass /_matrix/ http://127.0.0.1:6167/_matrix/ timeout=300 nocanon
ProxyPassReverse /_matrix/ http://127.0.0.1:6167/_matrix/
# UNIX socket
#ProxyPass /_matrix/ unix:/run/conduit/conduit.sock|http://127.0.0.1:6167/_matrix/ nocanon
#ProxyPassReverse /_matrix/ unix:/run/conduit/conduit.sock|http://127.0.0.1:6167/_matrix/
</VirtualHost>
```
**You need to make some edits again.** When you are done, run
```bash
# Debian
$ sudo systemctl reload apache2
# Installed from source
$ sudo apachectl -k graceful
```
### Caddy
Create `/etc/caddy/conf.d/conduit_caddyfile` and enter this (substitute for your server name).
```caddy
your.server.name, your.server.name:8448 {
# TCP
reverse_proxy /_matrix/* 127.0.0.1:6167
# UNIX socket
#reverse_proxy /_matrix/* unix//run/conduit/conduit.sock
}
```
That's it! Just start or enable the service and you're set.
```bash
$ sudo systemctl enable caddy
```
### 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;
# Nginx defaults to only allow 1MB uploads
# Increase this to allow posting large files such as videos
client_max_body_size 20M;
# UNIX socket
#upstream backend {
# server unix:/run/conduit/conduit.sock;
#}
location /_matrix/ {
# TCP
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6167;
# UNIX socket
#proxy_pass http://backend;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_read_timeout 5m;
}
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
If you chose Caddy as your web proxy SSL certificates are handled automatically and you can skip this step.
The easiest way to get an SSL certificate, if you don't have one already, is to [install](https://certbot.eff.org/instructions) `certbot` and run this:
```bash
# To use ECC for the private key,
# paste into /etc/letsencrypt/cli.ini:
# key-type = ecdsa
# elliptic-curve = secp384r1
$ sudo certbot -d your.server.name
```
[Automated renewal](https://eff-certbot.readthedocs.io/en/stable/using.html#automated-renewals) is usually preconfigured.
If using Cloudflare, configure instead the edge and origin certificates in dashboard. In case you’re already running a website on the same Apache server, you can just copy-and-paste the SSL configuration from your main virtual host on port 443 into the above-mentioned vhost.
## 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
# If using port 8448
$ 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/).
If you can register but cannot join federated rooms check your config again and also check if the port 8448 is open and forwarded correctly.
