Conduit Chat Server Reviews and details

• Shutting down the Matrix bridge to Libera Chat

  If you're talking about Element switching its contributions to Synapse from Apache to AGPL, the rationale is that folks who want to commercialise Synapse will either have to a) opensource their changes, b) pay for an AGPL exception from Element, c) use a different server (e.g. Apache-licensed Conduit from https://conduit.rs) or d) write their own server. This hardly feels like suffocating competition. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• The Future of Synapse and Dendrite

  Reminder - https://conduit.rs/ Rust implementation of the matrix server stack. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• IRC Is the Only Viable Chat Protocol

  Many who have causally read about Matrix and looked into running a homeserver have run across the reference implementation Synapse, which is (IMO only, pls no flame) a bloated python monstrosity. This turned me off for years. A second-gen (?) alternative written in Go called Dendrite is much lighter weight, but is lacking in some features last I looked. A couple of years ago, I found Conduit (https://conduit.rs/)... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Everything that uses configuration files should report where they're located

  In Conduit (https://conduit.rs) there is no default config path, in order to start Conduit, you need to specify the CONDUIT_CONFIG environment variable, which is the path to your config. This will typically be done in a systemd service. This has multiple benefits:. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Matrix 2.0 — Matthew Hodgson talks about Rust in Element client, Rust SDK, IETF MLS, MIMI and more

  Until now, Rust was only present in the Matrix ecosystem thanks to contributions by third-parties in the form of Conduit and Fractal. So this is pretty rad. Amongst these two, Conduit is the most important project imo. It's a Matrix home server, written from scratch in Rust. Source: about 1 year ago

• Looking for simple messaging/call app

  For a lightweight Matrix server, you can try out Conduit (https://conduit.rs/). Source: over 1 year ago

• XMPP and/or Matrix ?

  If you are concerned about the resource/energy usage of the matrix server you can look into different servers. Matrix in itself is just the protocol, there are different server implementations. The default one (Synapse) is pretty resource heavy (or at least it was when I last tried it). Currently I am running Conduit, which is written in Rust and a lot lighter than Synapse.

• WhatsApp but self-hosted?

  Take a look at https://conduit.rs it’s based on matrix but much easier to install and for a beta stage quite fast and stable! Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Anyone using Rust for server side application development?

  There’s a very fast Matrix homeserver implementation written in Rust, called Conduit. https://conduit.rs/ I’m not one of the developers, but I am looking at using it for work. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Can someone ELI5 how to run Matrix-WhatsApp?

  I'll also add that since you're going through the Raspberry Pi route, you can use Conduit (which is built specifically for RPi) as matrix server. Although keep in mind that it is beta software, and so a few features are missing. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Ergo – modern IRC server written in Go

  Conduit is lightweight. I'm running it on a tiny VPS. Its main problem at the moment is unreliable Android notifications. https://conduit.rs/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
