## Forwarding ports in the firewall or the router
Conduit uses the ports 443 and 8448 both of which need to be open in the firewall.
If Conduit runs behind a router or in a container and has a different public IP address than the host system these public ports need to be forwarded directly or indirectly to the port mentioned in the config.

## Docker-compose
If the docker command is not for you or your setup, you can also use one of the provided `docker-compose` files. Depending on your proxy setup, use the [`docker-compose.traefik.yml`](docker-compose.traefik.yml) and [`docker-compose.override.traefik.yml`](docker-compose.override.traefik.yml) for Traefik (don't forget to remove `.traefik` from the filenames) or the normal [`docker-compose.yml`](../docker-compose.yml) for every other reverse proxy. Additional info about deploying
Conduit can be found [here](../DEPLOY.md).
If the `docker run` command is not for you or your setup, you can also use one of the provided `docker-compose` files.
Depending on your proxy setup, you can use one of the following files;
- If you already have a `traefik` instance set up, use [`docker-compose.for-traefik.yml`](docker-compose.for-traefik.yml)
- If you don't have a `traefik` instance set up (or any other reverse proxy), use [`docker-compose.with-traefik.yml`](docker-compose.with-traefik.yml)
- For any other reverse proxy, use [`docker-compose.yml`](docker-compose.yml)
When picking the traefik-related compose file, rename it so it matches `docker-compose.yml`, and
rename the override file to `docker-compose.override.yml`. Edit the latter with the values you want
for your server.

### Use Traefik as Proxy
As a container user, you probably know about Traefik. It is a easy to use reverse proxy for making containerized app and services available through the web. With the
two provided files, [`docker-compose.traefik.yml`](docker-compose.traefik.yml) and [`docker-compose.override.traefik.yml`](docker-compose.override.traefik.yml), it is
equally easy to deploy and use Conduit, with a little caveat. If you already took a look at the files, then you should have seen the `well-known` service, and that is
the little caveat. Traefik is simply a proxy and loadbalancer and is not able to serve any kind of content, but for Conduit to federate, we need to either expose ports
`443` and `8448` or serve two endpoints `.well-known/matrix/client` and `.well-known/matrix/server`.
