Run Subspace on a VPS

Running Subspace on a VPS is designed to be as simple as possible.

Public Docker image.
Single static Go binary with assets bundled.
Automatic TLS using Let's Encrypt.
Redirects http to https.
Works with a reverse proxy or standalone.

1. Get a server

Recommended Specs

Type: VPS or dedicated
Distribution: Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial)
Memory: 512MB or greater

2. Add a DNS record

Create a DNS A record in your domain pointing to your server's IP address.

Example: subspace.example.com A 172.16.1.1

3. Enable Let's Encrypt

Subspace runs a TLS ("SSL") https server on port 443/tcp. It also runs a standard web server on port 80/tcp to redirect clients to the secure server. Port 80/tcp is required for Let's Encrypt verification.

Requirements

Your server must have a publicly resolvable DNS record.
Your server must be reachable over the internet on ports 80/tcp and 443/tcp and 51820/udp (WireGuard).

Usage

Example usage:

$ subspace --http-host subspace.example.com

Usage

  -backlink string
        backlink (optional)
  -datadir string
        data dir (default "/data")
  -debug
        debug mode
  -help
        display help and exit
  -http-addr string
        HTTP listen address (default ":80")
  -http-host string
        HTTP host
  -http-insecure
        enable sessions cookies for http (no https) not recommended
  -letsencrypt
        enable TLS using Let's Encrypt on port 443 (default true)
  -version
        display version and exit

Run as a Docker container

Install WireGuard on the host

The container expects WireGuard to be installed on the host. The official image is subspacecloud/subspace.

add-apt-repository -y ppa:wireguard/wireguard
apt-get update
apt-get install -y wireguard

# Remove dnsmasq because it will run inside the container.
apt-get remove -y dnsmasq

# Set DNS server.
echo nameserver 1.1.1.1 >/etc/resolv.conf

# Load modules.
modprobe wireguard
modprobe iptable_nat
modprobe ip6table_nat

# Enable IP forwarding
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1

Follow the official Docker install instructions: Get Docker CE for Ubuntu

Make sure to change the --env SUBSPACE_HTTP_HOST to your publicly accessible domain name.


# Your data directory should be bind-mounted as `/data` inside the container using the `--volume` flag.
$ mkdir /data

docker create \
    --name subspace \
    --restart always \
    --network host \
    --cap-add NET_ADMIN \
    --volume /usr/bin/wg:/usr/bin/wg \
    --volume /data:/data \
    --env SUBSPACE_HTTP_HOST=subspace.example.com \
    subspacecloud/subspace:latest

$ sudo docker start subspace

$ sudo docker logs subspace

<log output>

Updating the container image

Pull the latest image, remove the container, and re-create the container as explained above.

# Pull the latest image
$ sudo docker pull subspacecloud/subspace

# Stop the container
$ sudo docker stop subspace

# Remove the container (data is stored on the mounted volume)
$ sudo docker rm subspace

# Re-create and start the container
$ sudo docker create ... (see above)
