# Conduit
### A Matrix homeserver written in Rust

#### What is the goal?

A fast Matrix homeserver that's easy to set up and just works. You can install
it on a mini-computer like the Raspberry Pi to host Matrix for your family,
friends or company.


#### Can I try it out?

Yes! Just open a Matrix client (<https://app.element.io> or Element Android for
example) and register on the `https://conduit.koesters.xyz` homeserver.


#### What is it build on?

- [Ruma](https://www.ruma.io): Useful structures for endpoint requests and
  responses that can be (de)serialized
- [Sled](https://github.com/spacejam/sled): A simple (key, value) database with
  good performance
- [Rocket](https://rocket.rs): A flexible web framework


#### What are the biggest things still missing?

- Most federation features (invites, e2ee)
- Push notifications on mobile
- Notification settings
- Lots of testing

Check out the [Conduit 1.0 Release Milestone](https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit/-/milestones/3).


#### How can I deploy my own?
