# RPM Installation Guide
Continuwuity is available as RPM packages for Fedora and compatible distributions.
We do not currently have infrastructure to build RPMs for RHEL and compatible distributions, but this is a work in progress.
The RPM packaging files are maintained in the `fedora/` directory:
- `continuwuity.spec.rpkg` - RPM spec file using rpkg macros for building from git
- `continuwuity.service` - Systemd service file for the server
- `RPM-GPG-KEY-continuwuity.asc` - GPG public key for verifying signed packages
RPM packages built by CI are signed with our GPG key (RSA, ID: `6595 E8DB 9191 D39A 46D6 A514 4BA7 F590 DF0B AA1D`). # spellchecker:disable-line
```bash
# Import the signing key
sudo rpm --import https://forgejo.ellis.link/api/packages/continuwuation/rpm/repository.key
# Verify a downloaded package
rpm --checksig continuwuity-*.rpm
```
## Installation methods
**Stable releases** (recommended)
```bash
# Add the repository and install
sudo dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://forgejo.ellis.link/api/packages/continuwuation/rpm/stable.repo
sudo dnf install continuwuity
```
**Development builds** from main branch
```bash
# Add the dev repository and install
sudo dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://forgejo.ellis.link/api/packages/continuwuation/rpm/dev.repo
sudo dnf install continuwuity
```
**Feature branch builds** (example: `tom/new-feature`)
```bash
# Branch names are sanitized (slashes become hyphens, lowercase only)
sudo dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://forgejo.ellis.link/api/packages/continuwuation/rpm/tom-new-feature.repo
sudo dnf install continuwuity
```
**Manual repository configuration** (alternative method)
```bash
cat << 'EOF' | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/continuwuity.repo
[continuwuity]
name=Continuwuity - Matrix homeserver
baseurl=https://forgejo.ellis.link/api/packages/continuwuation/rpm/stable
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://forgejo.ellis.link/api/packages/continuwuation/rpm/repository.key
EOF
sudo dnf install continuwuity
```
## Package management
**Automatic updates** with DNF Automatic
```bash
# Install and configure
sudo dnf install dnf-automatic
sudo nano /etc/dnf/automatic.conf # Set: apply_updates = yes
sudo systemctl enable --now dnf-automatic.timer
```
**Manual updates**
```bash
# Check for updates
sudo dnf check-update continuwuity
# Update to latest version
sudo dnf update continuwuity
```
**Switching channels** (stable/dev/feature branches)
```bash
# List enabled repositories
dnf repolist | grep continuwuation
# Disable current repository
sudo dnf config-manager --set-disabled continuwuation-stable # or -dev, or branch name
# Enable desired repository
sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled continuwuation-dev # or -stable, or branch name
# Update to the new channel's version
sudo dnf update continuwuity
```
**Verifying installation**
```bash
# Check installed version
rpm -q continuwuity
# View package information
rpm -qi continuwuity
# List installed files
rpm -ql continuwuity
# Verify package integrity
rpm -V continuwuity
```
## Service management and removal
**Systemd service commands**
```bash
# Start the service
sudo systemctl start conduwuit
# Enable on boot
sudo systemctl enable conduwuit
# Check status
sudo systemctl status conduwuit
# View logs
sudo journalctl -u conduwuit -f
```
**Uninstallation**
```bash
# Stop and disable the service
sudo systemctl stop conduwuit
sudo systemctl disable conduwuit
# Remove the package
sudo dnf remove continuwuity
# Remove the repository (optional)
sudo rm /etc/yum.repos.d/continuwuation-*.repo
```
## Troubleshooting
**GPG key errors**: Temporarily disable GPG checking
```bash
sudo dnf --nogpgcheck install continuwuity
```
**Repository metadata issues**: Clear and rebuild cache
```bash
sudo dnf clean all
sudo dnf makecache
```
**Finding specific versions**
```bash
# List all available versions
dnf --showduplicates list continuwuity
# Install a specific version
sudo dnf install continuwuity-<version>
```
## Building locally
Build the RPM locally using rpkg:
```bash
# Install dependencies
sudo dnf install rpkg rpm-build cargo-rpm-macros systemd-rpm-macros
# Clone the repository
git clone https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity.git
cd continuwuity
# Build SRPM
rpkg srpm
# Build RPM
rpmbuild --rebuild *.src.rpm
```

# RPM Installation Guide
## Overview
Continuwuity versions v0.5.10+ are available as RPM packages for the following distributions:
<Tabs groupId="distro">
<Tab label="Fedora">
Available for upstream-supported Fedora versions (including compatible distributions, such as Ultramarine Linux) and Rawhide through Terra.
</Tab>
<Tab label="EL">
Available for Enterprise Linux (RHEL, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, etc.) **10+** through Terra.
:::warning Oracle Linux support
Due to upstream limitations, Terra is only usable on Oracle Linux if you use [upstream EPEL](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/epel/getting-started/)
rather than Oracle's rebuilds of EPEL. Oracle tends to lag behind on new EL versions, both major and minor—for example, as of the time of writing, 10.2 has been
available for over a month through other ELs, but Oracle has not yet released corresponding updates—so you may encounter further compatibility issues with EPEL.
**For this reason, it is recommended that you use another EL distribution if at all possible.**
