[![Liberapay](https://img.shields.io/liberapay/receives/timokoesters?logo=liberapay)](https://liberapay.com/timokoesters)
[![Matrix](https://img.shields.io/matrix/conduit:koesters.xyz?server_fqdn=matrix.koesters.xyz&logo=matrix)](https://matrix.to/#/#conduit:koesters.xyz)
#### 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?
See it in action: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoBslDtqC1k>
#### Can I try it out?
Yes! Just open Riot (<https://riot.im/app>) and register on the `https://conduit.koesters.xyz:14004` homeserver.
#### 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](https://git.koesters.xyz/timo/conduit/wiki/Deploy).
#### 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?
- Federation (Make Conduit talk to other Matrix servers)
- Notifications (Make Matrix client notify the user when new messages or pings arrive)
- Lots of testing
