Gurty - a CLI tool to setup your GURT Protocol server

Gurty is a command-line interface tool for setting up and managing GURT protocol servers.

Configuration

Gurty uses a TOML configuration file to manage server settings. The gurty.template.toml file provides a complete configuration template with all available options:

Sections

• Server: Basic server settings (host, port, protocol version, connection limits)
• TLS: Certificate and private key configuration for secure connections
• Logging: Logging levels, request/response logging, and log file paths
• Security: File access restrictions, allowed HTTP methods, and rate limiting
• Error Pages: Custom error page templates and default error responses
• Headers: Custom HTTP headers for security and server identification

Using Configuration Files

1. Copy the configuration template:

   cp gurty.template.toml gurty.toml
   

2. Edit the configuration to match your environment. (optional)

3. Use the configuration file:

   gurty serve --config gurty.toml
   

Setup for Production

For production deployments, you can use the Gurted Certificate Authority to get proper TLS certificates:

1. Install the Gurted CA CLI:

   🔗 https://gurted.com/download

2. Request a certificate for your domain:

   gurtca request yourdomain.web --output ./certs
   

3. Follow the DNS challenge instructions: When prompted, add the TXT record to your domain:

   • Go to gurt://dns.web (or your DNS server)
   • Login and navigate to your domain
   • Add a TXT record with:
     • Name: _gurtca-challenge
     • Value: (provided by the CLI tool)
   • Press Enter to continue verification

4. Copy the configuration template and customize:

   cp gurty.template.toml gurty.toml
   

5. Deploy with CA-issued certificates:

   gurty serve --cert ./certs/yourdomain.web.crt --key ./certs/yourdomain.web.key --config gurty.toml
   

Development Environment Setup

To set up a development environment for GURT, follow these steps:

1. Install mkcert:

   # Windows (with Chocolatey)
   choco install mkcert
   
   # Or download from: https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/releases
   

2. Install local CA in system:

   mkcert -install
   

   This installs a local CA in your system certificate store.

3. Generate localhost certificates:

   cd gurted/protocol/cli
   mkcert localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1
   

   This creates:

   • localhost+2.pem (certificate)
   • localhost+2-key.pem (private key)

4. Copy the configuration template and customize:

   cp gurty.template.toml gurty.toml
   

5. Start GURT server with certificates and configuration:

   gurty serve --config gurty.toml
   

   Or specify certificates explicitly:

   gurty serve --cert localhost+2.pem --key localhost+2-key.pem --config gurty.toml
