# 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Can I try it out?
|
|
|
|
Yes! Just open a Matrix client (<https://app.element.io> or Element Android for
|
|
example) and register on the `https://conduit.koesters.xyz` homeserver.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### What is it built 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 is the current status?
|
|
|
|
Conduit can already be used chat with other users on Conduit, chat with users
|
|
from other Matrix servers and even to chat with users on other platforms using
|
|
appservices. When chatting with users on the same Conduit server, everything
|
|
should work assuming you use a compatible client.
|
|
|
|
**You should not join Matrix rooms without asking the admins first.** We do not
|
|
know whether Conduit is safe for general use yet, so you should assume there is
|
|
some chance that it breaks rooms permanently for all participating users. We
|
|
are not aware of such a bug today, but we would like to do more testing.
|
|
|
|
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)
|
|
- End-to-end encrypted chats over federation
|
|
- Typing, presence, read receipts etc. 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?
|
|
|
|
##### Deploy
|
|
|
|
Download or compile a Conduit binary, set up the config and call it from somewhere like a systemd script. [Read
|
|
more](DEPLOY.md)
|
|
|
|
If you want to connect an Appservice to Conduit, take a look at the [Appservice Guide](APPSERVICES.md).
|
|
|
|
##### Deploy using a Debian package
|
|
|
|
You need to have the `deb` helper command installed that creates Debian packages from Cargo projects (see [cargo-deb](https://github.com/mmstick/cargo-deb/) for more info):
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cargo install cargo-deb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then, you can create and install a Debian package at a whim:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ cargo deb
|
|
$ dpkg -i target/debian/matrix-conduit_0.1.0_amd64.deb
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will build, package, install, configure and start Conduit. [Read more](debian/README.Debian).
|
|
|
|
Note that `cargo deb` supports [cross-compilation](https://github.com/mmstick/cargo-deb/#cross-compilation) too!
|
|
Official Debian packages will follow once Conduit starts to have stable releases.
|
|
|
|
##### Deploy using Docker
|
|
|
|
Pull and run the docker image with
|
|
|
|
``` bash
|
|
docker pull matrixconduit/matrix-conduit:latest
|
|
docker run -d -p 8448:8000 -v ~/conduit.toml:/srv/conduit/conduit.toml -v db:/srv/conduit/.local/share/conduit matrixconduit/matrix-conduit:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> <b>Note:</b> You also need to supply a `conduit.toml` config file, you can find an example [here](./conduit-example.toml).
|
|
> Or you can pass in `-e CONDUIT_CONFIG=""` and configure Conduit purely with env vars.
|
|
|
|
Or build and run it with docker or docker-compose. [Read more](docker/README.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 :)
|
|
4. Submit a MR
