Prerequisites

Make sure you have libssl-dev and pkg-config installed and the rust toolchain is available on at least on user.

Install Conduit

You have to download the binary that fits your machine. Run uname -m to see what you need:

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

$ sudo useradd -m conduit
$ sudo -u conduit wget <url> -O /home/conduit/conduit-bin && chmod +x /home/conduit/conduit-bin

Setup systemd service

In this guide, we set up a systemd service for Conduit, so it's easy to start/stop Conduit and set it to autostart when your server reboots. Paste the default systemd service you can find below into /etc/systemd/system/conduit.service and configure it to fit your setup.

[Unit]
Description=Conduit
After=network.target

[Service]
Environment="ROCKET_SERVER_NAME=YOURSERVERNAME.HERE" # EDIT THIS

Environment="ROCKET_PORT=14004" # Reverse proxy port

#Environment="ROCKET_MAX_REQUEST_SIZE=20000000" # in bytes
#Environment="ROCKET_REGISTRATION_DISABLED=true"
#Environment="ROCKET_ENCRYPTION_DISABLED=true"
#Environment="ROCKET_FEDERATION_ENABLED=true"
#Environment="ROCKET_LOG=normal" # Detailed logging

Environment="ROCKET_ENV=production"
User=conduit
Group=conduit
Type=simple
Restart=always
ExecStart=/home/conduit/conduit-bin

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Finally, run

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Setup Reverse Proxy

This depends on whether you use Apache, Nginx or something else. For Apache it looks like this (in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/050-conduit.conf):

<VirtualHost *:443>

ServerName conduit.koesters.xyz # EDIT THIS

AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode

ServerAlias conduit.koesters.xyz # EDIT THIS

ProxyPreserveHost On
ProxyRequests off
AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
ProxyPass / http://localhost:14004/ nocanon
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:14004/ nocanon

Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf

# EDIT THESE:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/conduit.koesters.xyz/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/conduit.koesters.xyz/privkey.pem
</VirtualHost>

Then run

$ sudo systemctl reload apache2

SSL Certificate

The easiest way to get an SSL certificate for the domain is to install certbot and run this:

$ sudo certbot -d conduit.koesters.xyz

You're done!

Now you can start Conduit with:

$ sudo systemctl start conduit

Set it to start automatically when your system boots with:

$ sudo systemctl enable conduit
