Tuwunel for Red Hat

Information about downloading and deploying the Red Hat package. This may also be referenced for other rpm-based distros such as CentOS.

Installation

It is recommended to see the generic deployment guide for further information if needed as usage of the RPM package is generally related.

No rpm repository is currently offered yet, it is in the works/development.

Configuration

When installed, the example config is placed at /etc/tuwunel/tuwunel.toml as the default config. The config mentions things required to be changed before starting.

You can tweak more detailed settings by uncommenting and setting the config options in /etc/tuwunel/tuwunel.toml.

Running

The package uses the tuwunel.service systemd unit file to start and stop Tuwunel. The binary is installed at /usr/sbin/tuwunel.

This package assumes by default that Tuwunel will be placed behind a reverse proxy. The default config options apply (listening on localhost and TCP port 8008). Matrix federation requires a valid domain name and TLS, so you will need to set up TLS certificates and renewal for it to work properly if you intend to federate.

Consult various online documentation and guides on setting up a reverse proxy and TLS. Caddy is documented at the generic deployment guide as it's the easiest and most user friendly.
