# Continuwuity for Debian
This document provides information about downloading and deploying the Debian package. You can also use this guide for other deb-based distributions such as Ubuntu.
## Installation
To add the Continuwuation apt repository:
```bash
# Component `"stable"` contains all tagged releases. Use `"stable unstable"` to additionally include all pre-releases (alpha, beta, rc,...)
# Replace with `"dev"` for bleeding-edge builds at your own risk, these contain
# automatic nightly builds and might or might not work.
export COMPONENT="stable"
# Import the Continuwuation signing key
sudo curl https://forgejo.ellis.link/api/packages/continuwuation/debian/repository.key -o /etc/apt/keyrings/forgejo-continuwuation.asc
# Add a new apt source list pointing to the repository
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/forgejo-continuwuation.asc] https://forgejo.ellis.link/api/packages/continuwuation/debian $(lsb_release -sc) $COMPONENT" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/continuwuation.list
# Update remote package lists
sudo apt update
```
To install continuwuity:
```bash
sudo apt install continuwuity
```
The `continuwuity` package conflicts with the old `conduwuit` package and will remove it automatically when installed.
See the [generic deployment guide](/deploying/generic.mdx) for additional information about using the Debian package.
## Configuration
After installation, Continuwuity places the example configuration at `/etc/continuwuity/continuwuity.toml` as the default configuration file. The configuration file indicates which settings you must change before starting the service.
You can customize additional settings by uncommenting and modifying the configuration options in `/etc/continuwuity/continuwuity.toml`.
## Running
The package uses the `continuwuity.service` systemd unit file to start and stop Continuwuity. The binary installs at `/usr/bin/continuwuity`.
By default, this package assumes that Continuwuity runs behind a reverse proxy. The default configuration options apply (listening on `localhost` and TCP port `6167`). Matrix federation requires a valid domain name and TLS. To federate properly, you must set up TLS certificates and certificate renewal.
For information about setting up a reverse proxy and TLS, consult online documentation and guides. The [generic deployment guide](/deploying/generic.md#setting-up-the-reverse-proxy) documents Caddy, which is the most user-friendly option for reverse proxy configuration.
