It is written entirely in Rust to be a scalable, low-cost, enterprise-ready, community-driven alternative, fully implementing the Matrix Specification for all but the most niche uses. * This project is the official successor to conduwuit after it reached stability. Tuwunel is now used by many companies with a vested interest in its continued development by full-time staff. It is primarily sponsored by the government of Switzerland 🇨🇭 where it is currently deployed for citizens. * The API service is accessible by default at * See for more details. **Tuwunel** * Service is restarted on any condition. **Post install command to check if service is running well and responses:** sudo snap logs tuwunel-tak **Post install commands required to access media folders and see resources, if your database or any other file need to be stored outside the snap data area:** sudo snap connect tuwunel-tak:removable-media sudo snap connect tuwunel-tak:mount-observe **!!! Files can only be written in a directory owned by `root` !!!** **!!! `/home` base directory content is not readable !!!** This is due to current behavior and restrictions of snaps by Canonical. Check common doc in FAQ if you want to setup data in `/home` directory. **Minimal configuration** * Configuration file 'tuwunel.toml' is located in "$SNAP\_DATA/etc/tuwunel/tuwunel.toml" accessible through "/var/snap/tuwunel-tak/current/etc/tuwunel/tuwunel.toml" with default snapd installation * (Recommended) Store your database in $SNAP\_COMMON which is accessible through simlink "/var/common" database\_path = "/var/common/var/lib/tuwunel" ; your database will be saved in "$SNAP\_COMMON/var/lib/tuwunel" * (NOT recommended) To store your database in $SNAP\_DATA, do not use first slash: database\_path = "var/lib/tuwunel" # your database will be saved in "$SNAP\_DATA/var/lib/tuwunel" this way * $SNAP\_COMMON is the common data kept for each new release of the snap ; $SNAP\_DATA is data copied from current snap release to the new one * (Alternative) To store your database in '/home' folder, do not forget to connect "removable-media", and read common documentation on my github * New user registration is disabled by default (cf. @'allow\_registration') * etc... * Please read the toml-integrated doc and Tuwunel official doc **To restart the service with new configuration, use the command:** sudo snap restart tuwunel-tak **Information:** * Configuration file is automatically created, if not found, in "$SNAP\_DATA/etc/tuwunel/" ; copied from original source configuration file * Configuration file is never updated (for now) ; if changes are required with new software release, it is your full responsibility to update it (for now). **Status:** * The snap remains a Beta release until more visibility on the complexity of app updates --- ## Install tuwunel-tak on your Linux distribution Choose your Linux distribution to get detailed installation instructions.
