Conduit for Debian
==================

Configuration
-------------

When installed, Debconf handles the configuration of the homeserver (host)name,
the address and port it listens on. These configuration variables end up in
/etc/matrix-conduit/debian.

You can tweak more detailed settings by uncommenting and setting the variables
in /etc/matrix-conduit/local. This involves settings such as the maximum file
size for download/upload, enabling federation, etc.

Running
-------

The package uses the matrix-conduit.service systemd unit file to start and
stop Conduit. It loads the configuration files mentioned above to set up the
environment before running the server.

This package assumes by default that Conduit is placed behind a reverse proxy
such as Apache or nginx. This default deployment entails just listening on
127.0.0.1 and the free port 14004 and is reachable via a client using the URL
http://localhost:14004.

At a later stage this packaging may support also setting up TLS and running
stand-alone.  In this case, however, you need to set up some certificates and
renewal, for it to work properly.
