While it is possible to use systemd credentials via
LoadCredential=xyz.radicle.node.secret:…
ExecStart=radicle-node … --secret "${CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY}/xyz.radicle.node.secret"
Make usage more convenient and directly support passing the secret key
via a systemd credential. The ID of the credential must be
xyz.radicle.node.secret
and is not user-configurable.
A systemd service unit file might contain:
LoadCredential=xyz.radicle.node.secret:…
ExecStart=radicle-node …
This requires just a bit of plumbing in `radicle-node`.
The preference order for the path of the secret key is:
1. The command line argument `--secret`.
2. The systemd credential.
3. The configuration file.
4. The default location to preserve backward compatibility.
The reason to prefer the systemd credential over the configuration file
is that it uses a mechanism that is influenced by the environment of the
process, which is deemed "closer at runtime" or "more dynamic" than a
configuration file. Ad-hoc overrides are still possible via the
commandline argument.

Radicle Heartwood Protocol & Stack
Heartwood is the third iteration of the Radicle Protocol, a powerful
peer-to-peer code collaboration and publishing stack. The repository contains a
full implementation of Heartwood, complete with a user-friendly command-line
interface (rad) and network daemon (radicle-node).
Radicle was designed to be a secure, decentralized and powerful alternative to code forges such as GitHub and GitLab that preserves user sovereignty and freedom.
See the Radicle home page for general information, and the Zulip chat to talk to the project.
See the Protocol Guide for an in-depth description of how Radicle works.
Installation
Requirements
- Linux or Unix based operating system.
- Git 2.34 or later
- OpenSSH 9.1 or later with
ssh-agent
📀 From binaries
Requires
curlandtar.
Run the following command to install the latest binary release:
curl -sSf https://radicle.xyz/install | sh
Or visit our download page.
📦 From source
Requires the Rust toolchain.
You can install the Radicle stack from source, by running the following commands from inside this repository:
cargo install --path crates/radicle-cli --force --locked --root ~/.radicle
cargo install --path crates/radicle-node --force --locked --root ~/.radicle
cargo install --path crates/radicle-remote-helper --force --locked --root ~/.radicle
Or directly from our seed node:
cargo install --force --locked --root ~/.radicle \
--git https://seed.radicle.xyz/z3gqcJUoA1n9HaHKufZs5FCSGazv5.git \
crates/radicle-cli crates/radicle-node crates/radicle-remote-helper
Running
Systemd unit files are provided for the node under the /systemd folder.
They can be used as a starting point for further customization.
For running in debug mode, see HACKING.md.
