This crate houses the Firezone gateway.
You can build the gateway using: cargo build --release --bin firezone-gateway
You should then find a binary in target/release/firezone-gateway
.
The Firezone Gateway supports Linux only. To run the Gateway binary on your Linux host:
- Generate a new Gateway token from the "Gateways" section of the admin portal and save it in your secrets manager.
- Ensure the
FIREZONE_TOKEN=<gateway_token>
environment variable is set securely in your Gateway's shell environment. The Gateway requires this variable at startup. - Set
FIREZONE_ID
to a unique string to identify this gateway in the portal, e.g.export FIREZONE_ID=$(uuidgen)
. The Gateway requires this variable at startup. - Now, you can start the Gateway with:
firezone-gateway
If you're running as a non-root user, you'll need the CAP_NET_ADMIN
capability
to open /dev/net/tun
. You can add this to the gateway binary with:
sudo setcap 'cap_net_admin+eip' /path/to/firezone-gateway
The gateway requires no open ports. Connections automatically traverse NAT with STUN/TURN via the relay.
