# Conduit
### A Matrix homeserver written in Rust
#### What is the goal?
An efficient 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! You can test our Conduit instance by opening a Matrix client (<https://app.element.io> or Element Android for
example) and registering on the `conduit.rs` homeserver.
It is hosted on a ODROID HC 2 with 2GB RAM and a SAMSUNG Exynos 5422 CPU, which
was used in the Samsung Galaxy S5. It joined many big rooms including Matrix
HQ.
#### What is the current status?
As of 2021-09-01 Conduit is Beta, meaning you can join and participate in most
Matrix rooms, but not all features are supported and you might run into bugs
from time to time.
There are still a few important features missing:
- Database stability (currently you might have to do manual upgrades or even wipe the db for new versions)
- Edge cases for end-to-end encryption over federation
- Typing and presence over federation
- Lots of testing
Check out the [Conduit 1.0 Release Milestone](https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit/-/milestones/3).
#### How can I deploy my own?
Simple install (this was tested the most): [DEPLOY.md](DEPLOY.md)\
Debian package: [debian/README.Debian](debian/README.Debian)\
Docker: [docker/README.md](docker/README.md)
If you want to connect an Appservice to Conduit, take a look at [APPSERVICES.md](APPSERVICES.md).
#### How can I contribute?
1. Look for an issue you would like to work on and make sure it's not assigned
to other users
2. Ask someone to assign the issue to you (comment on the issue or chat in
#conduit:nordgedanken.dev)
3. Fork the repo and work on the issue. #conduit:nordgedanken.dev is happy to help :)
