#### What is the goal?
A fast Matrix homeserver that's easy to set up and just works. You can install
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?
Yes! Just open a Matrix client (<https://app.element.io> or Element Android for
example) and register on the `https://conduit.koesters.xyz` homeserver.
Yes! You can test our Conduit instance by opening a Matrix client (<https://app.element.io> or Element Android for
example) and registering on the `conduit.rs` 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
It is hosted on a ODROID HC 2 with 2GB RAM and a SAMSUNG Exynos 5422 CPU, which
was used in the Samsung Galaxy S5. It joined many big rooms including Matrix
HQ.
#### 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.
As of 2021-09-01 Conduit is 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.
There are still a few important features missing:

#### How can I deploy my own?
##### Deploy
Simple install (this was tested the most): [DEPLOY.md](DEPLOY.md)\
Debian package: [debian/README.Debian](debian/README.Debian)\
Docker: [docker/README.md](docker/README.md)
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 8448:6167 -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)
If you want to connect an Appservice to Conduit, take a look at [APPSERVICES.md](APPSERVICES.md).
