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.

Is it fast?

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.

How can I deploy my own?

From source

Clone the repo, build it with cargo build --release and call the binary (target/release/conduit) from somewhere like a systemd script. Read more

Using Docker

Build the docker image and run it with docker or docker-compose. Read more

What is it build on?

Ruma: Useful structures for endpoint requests and responses that can be (de)serialized
Sled: A simple (key, value) database with good performance
Rocket: A flexible web framework

What are the biggest things still missing?

Federation (Talk to other Matrix servers)
Appservices (Bridges and Bots)
Push notifications on mobile
Notification settings
Lots of testing
