#### What is Matrix?
### Why does this exist?
The original conduwuit project has been archived and is no longer maintained. Rather than letting this Rust-based Matrix homeserver disappear, a group of community contributors have forked the project to continue its development, fix outstanding issues, and add new features.
Our aim is to provide a stable, well-maintained alternative for current conduwuit users and to welcome new users looking for a lightweight, efficient Matrix homeserver.
### Who are we?
We are a group of Matrix enthusiasts, developers and system administrators who have used conduwuit and believe in its potential. Our team includes both previous
contributors to the original project and new developers who want to help maintain and improve this important piece of Matrix infrastructure.
We operate as an open community project, welcoming contributions from anyone interested in improving continuwuity.
### What is Matrix?
[Matrix](https://matrix.org) is an open, federated, and extensible network for [Matrix](https://matrix.org) is an open, federated, and extensible network for

#### What is the goal? ### What are the project's goals?
A high-performance, efficient, low-cost, and featureful Matrix homeserver that's Continuwuity aims to:
easy to set up and just works with minimal configuration needed.
#### Can I try it out? - Maintain a stable, reliable Matrix homeserver implementation in Rust
- Improve compatibility and specification compliance with the Matrix protocol
- Fix bugs and performance issues from the original conduwuit
- Add missing features needed by homeserver administrators
- Provide comprehensive documentation and easy deployment options
- Create a sustainable development model for long-term maintenance
- Keep a lightweight, efficient codebase that can run on modest hardware
An official conduwuit server ran by me is available at transfem.dev ### Can I try it out?

transfem.dev is also listed at

popular public Matrix homeservers, including some others that run conduwuit.
#### What is the current status? ### What are we working on?
conduwuit is technically a hard fork of [Conduit](https://conduit.rs/), which is in beta. We're working our way through all of the issues in the [Forgejo project](https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/issues).
The beta status initially was inherited from Conduit, however the huge amount of
codebase divergance, changes, fixes, and improvements have effectively made this
beta status not entirely applicable to us anymore.
conduwuit is very stable based on our rapidly growing userbase, has lots of features that users - [Replacing old conduwuit links with working continuwuity links](https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/issues/742)
expect, and very usable as a daily driver for small, medium, and upper-end medium sized homeservers. - [Getting CI and docs deployment working on the new Forgejo project](https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/issues/740)

necessary groundwork has finished; making this project way better than it was
back in the start at ~early 2024.
#### Where is the differences page? - Conduwuit: Yes
- Conduit: No, database is now incompatible
- Grapevine: No, database is now incompatible
- Dendrite: No
- Synapse: No
conduwuit historically had a "differences" page that listed each and every single Although you can't migrate your data from other homeservers, it is perfectly acceptable to set up continuwuity on the same domain as a previous homeserver.
different thing about conduwuit from Conduit, as a way to promote and advertise
conduwuit by showing significant amounts of work done. While this was feasible to
maintain back when the project was new in early-2024, this became impossible
very quickly and has unfortunately became heavily outdated, missing tons of things, etc.
It's difficult to list out what we do differently, what are our notable features, etc
when there's so many things and features and bug fixes and performance optimisations,
the list goes on. We simply recommend folks to just try out conduwuit, or ask us
what features you are looking for and if they're implemented in conduwuit.
#### 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](https://matrix.org/blog/2024/04/26/this-week-in-matrix-2024-04-26/#conduwuit-website)
and we have no plans in stopping or slowing down any time soon!
#### Can I migrate or switch from Conduit?
conduwuit had drop-in migration/replacement support for Conduit for about 12 months before
bugs somewhere along the line broke it. Maintaining this has been difficult and
the majority of Conduit users have already migrated, additionally debugging Conduit
is not one of our interests, and so Conduit migration no longer works. We also
feel that 12 months has been plenty of time for people to seamlessly migrate.
If you are a Conduit user looking to migrate, you will have to wipe and reset
your database. We may fix seamless migration support at some point, but it's not an interest
from us.
#### Can I migrate from Synapse or Dendrite?
Currently there is no known way to seamlessly migrate all user data from the old
homeserver to conduwuit. However it is perfectly acceptable to replace the old
homeserver software with conduwuit using the same server name and there will not
be any issues with federation.
There is an interest in developing a built-in seamless user data migration
method into conduwuit, however there is no concrete ETA or timeline for this.

## Contribution
### Development flow
- Features / changes must developed in a separate branch
- For each change, create a descriptive PR
- Your code will be reviewed by one or more of the continuwuity developers
- The branch will be deployed live on multiple tester's matrix servers to shake out bugs
- Once all testers and reviewers have agreed, the PR will be merged to the main branch
- The main branch will have nightly builds deployed to users on the cutting edge
- Every week or two, a new release is cut.
The main branch is always green!
### Policy on pulling from other forks
We welcome contributions from other forks of conduwuit, subject to our review process.
When incorporating code from other forks:
- All external contributions must go through our standard PR process
- Code must meet our quality standards and pass tests
- Code changes will require testing on multiple test servers before merging
- Attribution will be given to original authors and forks
- We prioritize stability and compatibility when evaluating external contributions
- Features that align with our project goals will be given priority consideration

is the official project Matrix room. You can get support here, ask questions or
concerns, get assistance setting up conduwuit, etc.
This room should stay relevant and focused on conduwuit. An offtopic general
chatter room can be found in the room topic there as well.
Please keep the issue trackers focused on *actual* bug reports and enhancement requests.
General support is extremely difficult to be offered over an issue tracker, and
simple questions should be asked directly in an interactive platform like our
Matrix room above as they can turn into a relevant discussion and/or may not be
simple to answer. If you're not sure, just ask in the Matrix room.
