conduwuit

a very cool, featureful fork of Conduit

Visit the conduwuit documentation for more information and how to deploy/setup conduwuit.

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?

A high-performance and 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?

An official conduwuit server ran by me is available at transfem.dev (element.transfem.dev / cinny.transfem.dev)

transfem.dev is a public homeserver that can be used, it is not a "test only homeserver". This means there are rules, so please read the rules: https://transfem.dev/homeserver_rules.txt

transfem.dev is also listed at servers.joinmatrix.org

What is the current status?

conduwuit is technically a hard fork of Conduit, which is in Beta. The Beta status initially was inherited from Conduit, however overtime this Beta status is rapidly becoming less and less relevant as our codebase significantly diverges more and more.

conduwuit is quite stable and very usable as a daily driver and for a low-medium sized homeserver. There is still a lot of more work to be done, but it is in a far better place than the project was in early 2024.

How is conduwuit funded? Is conduwuit sustainable?

conduwuit has no external funding. This is made possible purely in my freetime with contributors, also in their free time, and only by user-curated donations.

conduwuit has existed since around November 2023, but only became more publicly known in March/April 2024 and we have no plans in stopping or slowing down any time soon!

Can I migrate or switch from Conduit?

conduwuit is a complete drop-in replacement for Conduit. As long as you are using RocksDB, the only "migration" you need to do is replace the binary or container image. There is no harm or additional steps required for using conduwuit. See the Migrating from Conduit section on the generic deploying guide.

Is it conduwuit or Conduwuit?

Both, but I prefer conduwuit.
