# conduwuit
|
|
### a well maintained fork of [Conduit](https://conduit.rs/)
|
|
|
|
#### What is Matrix?
|
|
[Matrix](https://matrix.org) 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?
|
|
|
|
An official conduwuit server ran by me is available at transfem.dev ([element.transfem.dev](https://element.transfem.dev) / [cinny.transfem.dev](https://cinny.transfem.dev))
|
|
|
|
#### What is the current status?
|
|
|
|
conduwuit is a fork of Conduit which is in 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. conduwuit attempts to fix and improve the majority of upstream Conduit bugs
|
|
or UX issues that are taking too long to be resolved, or unnecessary Matrix or developer
|
|
politics halting simple things from being merged or fixed, and general inactivity.
|
|
|
|
There are still a few nice to have features missing that some users may notice:
|
|
|
|
- Outgoing read receipts and typing indicators (receiving works)
|
|
|
|
#### What's different about your fork than upstream Conduit?
|
|
|
|
See [DIFFERENCES.md](DIFFERENCES.md)
|
|
|
|
#### Why does this fork exist? Why don't you contribute back upstream?
|
|
|
|
I have tried, but:
|
|
- unnecessary Matrix / developer politics
|
|
- bikeshedding unnecessary or irrelevant things in MRs
|
|
- disagreement with how the upstream project is maintained including the codebase
|
|
- upstream maintainer inactivity
|
|
- questionable community members
|
|
- lack of MR reviews or issue triaging and no upstream maintainer interest in receiving help
|
|
- severe bugs, including denial of service and other likely vulnerabilities, not being merged due to things mentioned above
|
|
- no interest in adding co-maintainers to help out
|
|
|
|
are what are keeping me from contributing. If the state of the upstream project improves, I'm
|
|
willing to start contributing again. As is, I think if folks want a more polished and well-kept version of Conduit, conduwuit exists for that.
|
|
|
|
#### How can I deploy my own?
|
|
|
|
- Simple install (this was tested the most): [DEPLOY.md](DEPLOY.md)
|
|
- Nix/NixOS (and binary cache): [nix/README.md](nix/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
|
|
[#conduwuit:puppygock.gay](https://matrix.to/#/#conduwuit:puppygock.gay))
|
|
3. Fork the repo and work on the issue.
|
|
4. Submit a PR (please keep contributions to the GitHub repo, main development is done here,
|
|
not the GitLab repo which exists just as a mirror.)
|
