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 https://riot.conduit.rs and register on the default homeserver. You can also use https://riot.im/app and set the homeserver url to https://conduit.koesters.xyz:14004 to connect. (BUG: Registration currently doesn't work on riot.im. Fix will come soon)

How can I deploy my own?

You just have to clone the repo, build it with cargo build --release and call the binary (target/release/conduit) from somewhere like a systemd script. It's explained in more detail here.

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 (Make Conduit talk to other Matrix servers)
Notifications (Make Matrix client notify the user when new messages or pings arrive)
Lots of testing
