Conduit

A Matrix homeserver written in Rust

Please visit the Conduit documentation for more information. Alternatively you can open docs/introduction.md in this repository.

What is Matrix?

Matrix is an open network for secure and decentralized communication. Users from every Matrix homeserver can chat with users from all other Matrix servers. You can even use bridges (also called Matrix appservices) to communicate with users outside of Matrix, like a community on Discord.

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 client that supports registration tokens such as Element web, Nheko or SchildiChat web and registering on the conduit.rs homeserver. The registration token is "for_testing_only". Don't share personal information. Once you have registered, you can use any other Matrix client to login.

Server hosting for conduit.rs is donated by the Matrix.org Foundation.

What is the current status?

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:

  • E2EE emoji comparison over federation (E2EE chat works)
  • Outgoing read receipts, typing, presence over federation (incoming works)

How can I contribute?

  1. Look for an issue you would like to work on and make sure no one else is currently working on it.
  2. Tell us that you are working on the issue (comment on the issue or chat in #conduit:ahimsa.chat). If it is more complicated, please explain your approach and ask questions.
  3. Fork the repo, create a new branch and push commits.
  4. Submit a MR
