# Deploy from source
## Prerequisites
Make sure you have `libssl-dev` and `pkg-config` installed and the [rust toolchain](https://rustup.rs) is available on at least on user.
## Install Conduit
```bash
$ sudo useradd -m conduit
$ sudo -u conduit cargo install --git "https://git.koesters.xyz/timo/conduit.git"
```
## 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 below and configure it to fit your setup (in /etc/systemd/system/conduit.service).
```systemd
[Unit]
Description=Conduit
After=network.target
[Service]
Environment="ROCKET_SERVER_NAME=conduit.rs" # EDIT THIS
Environment="ROCKET_PORT=14004" # Reverse proxy port
#Environment="ROCKET_REGISTRATION_DISABLED=true"
#Environment="ROCKET_LOG=normal" # Detailed logging
Environment="ROCKET_ENV=production"
User=conduit
Group=conduit
Type=simple
Restart=always
ExecStart=/home/conduit/.cargo/bin/conduit
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
Finally, run
```bash
$ 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
```bash
$ sudo systemctl reload apache2
```
## SSL Certificate
The easiest way to get an SSL certificate for the domain is to install `certbot` and run this:
```bash
$ sudo certbot -d conduit.koesters.xyz
```
## You're done!
Now you can start Conduit with
```bash
$ sudo systemctl start conduit
```
and set it to start automatically when your system boots with
```bash
$ sudo systemctl enable conduit
```

#### How can I deploy my own?
You just have to clone the repo, build it with `cargo build --release` and call the binary (target/release/conduit) from somewhere like a systemd script.
It's explained in more detail [here](https://git.koesters.xyz/timo/conduit/wiki/Deploy).
##### From source
Or you can just build the docker image and run it with docker or docker-compose.
It's explained in more details [here](https://git.koesters.xyz/timo/conduit/wiki/Docker) or in the [README](docker/README.md) in the docker folder.

# 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.

## Build & Dockerfile
## Docker
### Build & 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. **Runtime:** 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.

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
## Docker-compose
If the docker command is not for you or your setup, you can also use one of the provided `docker-compose` files. Depending on your proxy setup, use the `docker-compose.traefik.yml` including `docker-compose.override.traefik.yml` or the normal `docker-compose.yml` for every other reverse proxy.
## Build
### 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:
