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
