Let's give Conduit a try! IPv6 only, of course.

## News from the Matrix Home Server department
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here at ungleich we always have a look around, which Matrix home
|
|
|
|
|
server to use. Obviously, you all know about
|
|
|
|
|
[synapse](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse), the reference
|
|
|
|
|
server.
|
|
|
|
|
Some of you might also know about
|
|
|
|
|
[dendrite](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite), an experimental,
|
|
|
|
|
maybe at some point in the future replacement of synapse.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But did you know about [conduit](https://conduit.rs/), a tiny Matrix
|
|
|
|
|
homeserver written in Rust? Well, now you do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Next generation Matrix Home Server?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At ungleich we like to see what is coming next and conduit certainly
|
|
|
|
|
has the potential to become an interesting, production grade
|
|
|
|
|
homeserver. At the moment there are some
|
|
|
|
|
[issues open for the 1.0
|
|
|
|
|
milestone](https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit/-/milestones/3#tab-issues),
|
|
|
|
|
however conduit is actually already quite usable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How stable you ask? Well, ...
|
|
|
|
|

## Phasing in public beta server at ungleich
|

|
|
|
To give you a preview, we have setup an **IPv6 only** instance of
|
2022-07-10 19:27:23 +00:00
|
|
|
conduit at [conduit.ungleich.ch](https://conduit.ungleich.ch).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This server is open for public use, anyone (well, anyone with
|
|
|
|
|
IPv6...) can register. However note: **this is only a test
|
|
|
|
|
instance**. We might at any point in the future delete, replace or
|
|
|
|
|
reset it. It is not backed and not a production service. It's main
|
|
|
|
|
intent is to allow you to easily test out Conduit.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are looking for a production grade homeserver for yourself,
|
|
|
|
|
have a look at our [hosted Matrix
|
|
|
|
|
offerings](https://ungleich.ch/u/products/hosted-matrix-chat/).
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
That said - give it a shot. We think Conduit is a promising
|
2022-07-10 19:27:23 +00:00
|
|
|
homeserver, especially given its focus on low resource usage.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## ... why IPv6 only?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are several reason for it:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* IPv6 only is much easier to setup than IPv6+IPv4
|
|
|
|
|
* This is a public beta service for which we try to keep the effort
|
|
|
|
|
low
|
|
|
|
|
* It's good test for us to see if conduit works in our IPv6 only
|
|
|
|
|
networks
|
|
|
|
|
* Global IPv6 traffic is nearing 50% and [many countries already
|
|
|
|
|
exceed 50%](https://stats.labs.apnic.net/ipv6)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you cannot access the conduit server because you don't have IPv6,
|
|
|
|
|
you can always get IPv6 via [the IPv6VPN](/u/products/ipv6-vpn/).
