-====== Conduwuit ======
-[[https://conduwuit.puppyirl.gay/|Conduwuit]] is a Matrix server written in RUST. [[https://matrix.org|Matrix]] is an open network for secure, decentralised communication. It is a specification which is in turn implemented by many servers and clients, and you can self-host your server as well. This is a new, well supported, lightweight implementation of a Matrix server.
-I will show you also how to install Element Web app which is a nice companion for web access everywhere.
-===== Installation of Conduwuit server =====
-Installation instructions: [[https://conduwuit.puppyirl.gay/deploying/generic.html|here]]. While there is a docker approach, it is so simple to install on bare-metal that i preferred this approach to the container one. Actuall accessing the conduwuit command-line admin console is a pain with container, while it's so easy from the prebuilt-binary.
-Create user and required folders:
-<code bash>
-seradd -d /data/daemons/conduwuit conduwuit
-mkdir -p /data/conduwuit/db
-chown conduwuit:conduwuit /data/conduwuit -R
-</code>
-Download the correct executable from [[https://github.com/girlbossceo/conduwuit/releases|GitHUB releases page]]. You should pick the one for your architecture. For example, for Linux 64bit would be **static-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl**:
-<code bash>
-su - conduwuit
-mkdir bin
-cd bin
-wget https://github.com/girlbossceo/conduwuit/releases/download/<< version >>/static-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
-</code>
-===== Installation of Element Web app =====
-Element Web app is a great web based UI for Matrix, that you can pair to your instance.
-Again installing bare-metal is the way to go. See [[https://github.com/element-hq/element-web|here]].
-Download latest release tarball from [[https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/releases|here]] and decompress it:
-<code bash>
-su - conduwuit
-wget https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/releases/<< version >> /element-<< version >>.tar.gz
-tar xvf element-<< version >>.tar.gz
-ln -s element-<< version >> element-web
-</code>
-===== Configuration of Conduwuit server =====
-The official Conduwuit configuration documentation can be found [[https://conduwuit.puppyirl.gay/configuration.html|here]].
-Now, you cannot start Conduwuit withour a proper configuration file. I suggest you to put it under **/data/conduwuit/conduwuit.toml**, and here is an example to start from:
-<file /data/conduwuit/conduwuit.toml>
-[global]
-server_name = "chat.mydomain.com"
-address = ["127.0.0.1", "::1"]
-port = 6167
-database_path = "/data/conduwuit/db"
-new_user_displayname_suffix = "-|"
-allow_check_for_updates = false
-max_request_size = 20971520 # this should match NGINX max request size
-#log = "info"
-#log_colors = true
-#emergency_password = ""
-[global.well_known]
-client = "https://chat.mydomain.com"
-server = "chat.mydomain.com:443"
-</file>
-You are now ready for testing your installation.
-===== Configuration of Element Web App =====
-Rename the file called **config.sample.json** to **config.json** inside the //element-<< version >>// folder and edit accordingly.
-At the very least perform the following edits:
-<code>
-    "default_server_config": {
-        "m.homeserver": {
-            "base_url": "https://chat.gardiol.org",
-            "server_name": "chat.gardiol.org"
-        },
-</code>
-at the beginning of the file.
-===== Manual startup =====
-to run Conduwuit server, run the following command as **conduwuit** user:
-<code bash>
-/data/daemons/bin/static-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl -c /data/conduwuit/conduwuit.toml
-</code>
-Of course, replace the proper paths and filenames with your setup.
-Running manually is good because you can easily access the admin console by typing **CTRL+C** from the terminal. You might want to take this opportunity to create your first user, and make it an admin too.
-===== Testing =====
-Call directly this endpoint:
-<code bash>
-curl https://chat.mydomain.com/_conduwuit/server_version
-{"name":"Conduwuit","version":"0.5.0 (e5049ca)"}
-</code>
-Check federation and Matrix operability, open the following URL:
-<code>
-https://federationtester.matrix.org/#chat.mydomain.com
-</code>
-===== Reverse proxy =====
-A Matrix server must be hosted on a dedicated subdomain. Please see my [[selfhost:nginx|NGINX]] reverse proxy page for more information about the followint configuration.
-<file - chat.conf>
-server {
-        server_name chat.mydomain.com;
-        listen 8443 ssl; # external access
-        listen 443 ssl;  # internal access
-        access_log /var/log/nginx/chat.mydomain.com_access_log main;
-        error_log /var/log/nginx/chat.mydomain.com_error_log info;
-        location / {
-                root /data/daemons/conduwuit/element-web;
-        }
-        location ~ ^(/_matrix|/_synapse/client) {
-                add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, PATCH, HEAD';
-                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6167;
-                #proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:6167$request_uri;
-                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
-                proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
-                proxy_set_header Host $host;
-                proxy_buffering off;
-                client_max_body_size 30M;
-                proxy_read_timeout 10m;
-                proxy_http_version 1.1;
-        }
-        location /.well-known/matrix/server {
-                return 200 '{"m.server": "chat.mydomain.com:443"}';
-                types { } default_type "application/json; charset=utf-8";
-        }
-        location /.well-known/matrix/client {
-                return 200 '{"m.homeserver": {"base_url": "https://chat.mydomain.com"}}';
-                types { } default_type "application/json; charset=utf-8";
-                add_header "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" *;
-        }
-}
-</file>
-===== Adding users =====
-From the Contuwuit admin console, which can be accessed by running the conduwuit binary in a terminl then hit **CTRL+C**, you can do a lot of admin stuff, including creating new users.
-To create a user:
-<code>
-uwu> admin users create-user myuser mypassword
-</code>
-To make a user an admin:
-<code>
-uwu> admin users make-user-admin myuser
-</code>
-To change a user password:
-<code>
-uwu> admin users reset-password myuser mynewpassword
-</code>
-You **must** create at least one user and make it admin!
-===== Autostart =====
-Since i use OpenRC, simply drop the following script to /etc/init.d:
-<file - /etc/init.d/conduwuit>
-#!/sbin/openrc-run
-# Copyright 2025 Gentoo Authors
-# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2
-name="conduwuit daemon"
-description="Conduwuit Matrix server"
-pidfile="/run/conduwuit.pid"
-command_background=true
-command="/data/daemons/conduwuit/bin/static-x86_64-linux-musl"
-command_args="-c /data/conduwuit/conduwuit.toml"
-command_user="conduwuit:conduwuit"
-depend() {
-        need net
-}
-</file>
-Make it executable and add to the proper runlevel:
-<code bash>
-chmod +x /etc/init.d/conduwuit
-rc-update add conduwuit default
-</code>
