Closes #3961 No tests yet, might be tricky to test since it's all I/O. I cued it off the device ID being generated, so it will have a minor merge conflict with #3920 ```[tasklist] ### Before merging - [ ] UI polish, or disable the welcome screen temporarily ``` <img width="664" alt="image" src="https://github.com/firezone/firezone/assets/13400041/d5def59c-b075-4135-91e5-85f9f9212fa5"> --------- Co-authored-by: Jamil Bou Kheir <jamilbk@users.noreply.github.com>
linux-client
This crate houses the Firezone linux client.
Building
Assuming you have Rust installed, you can build the Linux client from a Linux host with:
cargo build --release --bin firezone-linux-client
You should then find a binary in target/release/firezone-linux-client.
The releases on Github are built with musl. To build this way, use:
rustup target add x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
sudo apt-get install musl-tools
cargo build --release --bin firezone-linux-client --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
Running
To run the Linux client:
- Generate a new Service account token from the "Actors -> Service Accounts" section of the admin portal and save it in your secrets manager. The Firezone Linux client requires a service account at this time.
- Ensure the
FIREZONE_TOKEN=<service_account_token>environment variable is set securely in your client's shell environment. The client requires this variable at startup. - Set
FIREZONE_IDto a unique string to identify this client in the portal, e.g.export FIREZONE_ID=$(uuidgen). The client requires this variable at startup. - Set
LOG_DIRto a suitable directory for writing logsexport LOG_DIR=/tmp/firezone-logs mkdir $LOG_DIR - Now, you can start the client with:
./firezone-linux-client
If you're running as an unprivileged user, you'll need the CAP_NET_ADMIN
capability to open /dev/net/tun. You can add this to the client binary with:
sudo setcap 'cap_net_admin+eip' /path/to/firezone-linux-client
