# Conduit ### A Matrix homeserver written in Rust [](https://liberapay.com/timokoesters) [](https://matrix.to/#/#conduit:koesters.xyz) #### 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. #### Is it fast? See it in action: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HoBslDtqC1k> #### Can I try it out? Yes! Just open Riot (<https://riot.im/app> or RiotX) and register on the `https://conduit.koesters.xyz:14004` homeserver. #### How can I deploy my own? You just have to clone the repo, build it with `cargo build --release` and call the binary (target/release/conduit) from somewhere like a systemd script. It's explained in more detail [here](https://git.koesters.xyz/timo/conduit/wiki/Deploy). #### What is it build 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 are the biggest things still missing? - Federation (Make Conduit talk to other Matrix servers) - Notifications (Make Matrix client notify the user when new messages or pings arrive) - Lots of testing Also check out the [milestones](https://git.koesters.xyz/timo/conduit/milestones). #### How can I contribute? If you want to help, you may be able to find something in the issue tracker. If you do, comment on the issue, so others know.
