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
Also check out the milestones.
