# 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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
1. 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.
|
|
1. 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.
|
|
1. Set `FIREZONE_ID` to a unique string to identify this client in the portal,
|
|
e.g. `export FIREZONE_ID=$(uuidgen)`. The client requires this variable at
|
|
startup.
|
|
1. Set `LOG_DIR` to a suitable directory for writing logs
|
|
```
|
|
export LOG_DIR=/tmp/firezone-logs
|
|
mkdir $LOG_DIR
|
|
```
|
|
1. 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
|
|
```
