## What is Continuwuity?
|
||||
|
||||
Continuwuity is a Matrix homeserver.
|
||||
|
||||
Matrix is an open chat network that lets anyone talk to anyone, no matter what server or address they use - sort of like email.
|
||||
|
||||
Continuwuity receives and keeps track of all your messages, and delivers what you send to the right people.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why is Continuwuity different?
|
||||
|
||||
Continuwuity is light and fast, using a fraction of the memory of other major homeservers. It's also simple to set up, and secure by default.
|
||||
|
||||
We are a community run project, filled with diverse and friendly people. Everything is built by people who care about the project volunteering their free time.

# Continuwuity
|
||||
|
||||
## A community-driven [Matrix](https://matrix.org/) homeserver in Rust
|
||||
## What is Continuwuity?

[](https://matrix.to/#/#continuwuity:continuwuity.org?via=continuwuity.org&via=ellis.link&via=explodie.org&via=matrix.org) [](https://matrix.to/#/#space:continuwuity.org?via=continuwuity.org&via=ellis.link&via=explodie.org&via=matrix.org)
|
||||
Continuwuity is a Matrix homeserver.
|
||||
|
||||
[continuwuity] is a Matrix homeserver written in Rust.
|
||||
It's the official community continuation of the [conduwuit](https://github.com/girlbossceo/conduwuit) homeserver.
|
||||
[Matrix] is an open chat network that lets anyone talk to anyone, no matter what server or address they use - sort of like email.

## Why is Continuwuity different?
|
||||
|
||||
[](https://codeberg.org/continuwuity/continuwuity) [](https://codeberg.org/continuwuity/continuwuity/stars)
|
||||
Continuwuity is light and fast, using a fraction of the memory of other major homeservers. It's also simple to set up, and secure by default.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why does this exist?
|
||||
We are a community run project, filled with diverse and friendly people. Everything is built by people who care about the project volunteering their free time.
|
||||
|
||||
The original conduwuit project has been archived and is no longer maintained.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.
|
||||
## Deploying Continuwuity
|
||||
|
||||
We aim to provide a stable, well-maintained alternative for current conduwuit users and welcome newcomers seeking 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
|
||||
decentralized communication. Users from any Matrix homeserver can chat with users from all
|
||||
other homeservers over federation. Matrix is designed to be extensible and built on top of.
|
||||
You can even use bridges such as Matrix Appservices to communicate with users outside of Matrix, like a community on Discord.
|
||||
|
||||
## What are the project's goals?
|
||||
|
||||
continuwuity aims to:
|
||||
|
||||
- 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
|
||||
|
||||
## Can I try it out?
|
||||
|
||||
Check out the [documentation](https://continuwuity.org) for installation instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to try it out as a user, we have some partnered homeservers you can use:
|
||||
* You can head over to [https://federated.nexus](https://federated.nexus/) in your browser.
|
||||
* Hit the `Apply to Join` button. Once your request has been accepted, you will receive an email with your username and password.
|
||||
* Head over to [https://app.federated.nexus](https://app.federated.nexus/) and you can sign in there, or use any other matrix chat client you wish elsewhere.
|
||||
* Your username for matrix will be in the form of `@username:federated.nexus`, however you can simply use the `username` part to log in. Your password is your password.
|
||||
|
||||
* There's also [https://continuwuity.rocks/](https://continuwuity.rocks/). You can register a new account using Cinny via [this convenient link](https://app.cinny.in/register/continuwuity.rocks), or you can use Element or another matrix client *that supports registration*.
|
||||
|
||||
## What are we working on?
|
||||
|
||||
We're working our way through all of the issues in the [Forgejo project](https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/issues).
|
||||
|
||||
- [Packaging & availability in more places](https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/issues/747)
|
||||
- [Appservices bugs & features](https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/issues?q=&type=all&state=open&labels=178&milestone=0&assignee=0&poster=0)
|
||||
- [Improving compatibility and spec compliance](https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/issues?labels=119)
|
||||
- Automated testing
|
||||
- [Admin API](https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/issues/748)
|
||||
- [Policy-list controlled moderation](https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/issues/750)
|
||||
|
||||
## Can I migrate my data from x?
|
||||
|
||||
- **Conduwuit**: Yes
|
||||
- **Conduit**: No, database is now incompatible
|
||||
- **Grapevine**: No, database is now incompatible
|
||||
- **Dendrite**: No
|
||||
- **Synapse**: No
|
||||
|
||||
We haven't written up a guide on migrating from incompatible homeservers yet. Reach out to us if you need to do this!
|
||||
|
||||
## How can I deploy my own?
|
||||
|
||||
- [Deployment options](deploying)
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to connect an appservice to continuwuity, take a look at the
|
||||
[appservices documentation](appservices).
|
||||
|
||||
## How can I contribute?
|
||||
|
||||
