Pipeline Modernisation: - Update prefligit to prek (same project, renamed to avoid typosquatting) - Replace custom rust-toolchain action with direct uvx rustup invocation - Remove dependency on install scripts in favour of uvx tool execution - Make sccache conditional on GH_APP_ID and GH_APP_PRIVATE_KEY availability Workflow Restructuring: - Rename workflows for improved clarity: * rust-checks.yml → ci-checks.yml (consolidates Rust + prek) * element.yml → deploy-element.yml * documentation.yml → deploy-docs.yml * release-image.yml → release-builds.yml (Docker + binaries) * mirror-images.yml → docker-mirror.yml - Delete obsolete prefligit-checks.yml (merged into ci-checks.yml) - Combine format and prek checks into single fast-checks job Cache Strategy Improvements (release-builds.yml): - Add restore-keys to Rust registry and cargo target caches - Include Cargo.toml files in cargo-target cache key - Consolidate separate apt-cache and apt-lib steps into single step - Version APT cache with Dockerfile hash instead of static keys - Add platform-specific Docker buildcache tags - Simplify Rust registry paths (remove checkouts/src subdirs) CI Execution Improvements: - Add uv cache for faster uvx tool invocations (prek, rustup) - Enable concurrency control with cancel-in-progress - Fix BOM handling in pre-commit Dependency Management: - Add renovate.yml workflow for scheduled dependency checking - Configure renovate.json to monitor .forgejo/ and .github/ dirs - Group non-major GitHub Actions updates into single PRs - Set PR limits: 3 concurrent, 2 per hour |

continuwuity
A community-driven Matrix homeserver in Rust
continuwuity is a Matrix homeserver written in Rust. It's a community continuation of the conduwuit homeserver.
Why does this exist?
The original conduwuit project has been archived and is no longer maintained.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.
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 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 for installation instructions.
There are currently no open registration Continuwuity instances available.
What are we working on?
We're working our way through all of the issues in the Forgejo project.
- Packaging & availability in more places
- Appservices bugs & features
- Improving compatibility and spec compliance
- Automated testing
- Admin API
- Policy-list controlled moderation
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!
Contribution
Development flow
- Features / changes must developed in a separate branch
- For each change, create a descriptive PR
- Your code will be reviewed by one or more of the continuwuity developers
- The branch will be deployed live on multiple tester's matrix servers to shake out bugs
- Once all testers and reviewers have agreed, the PR will be merged to the main branch
- The main branch will have nightly builds deployed to users on the cutting edge
- Every week or two, a new release is cut.
The main branch is always green!
Policy on pulling from other forks
We welcome contributions from other forks of conduwuit, subject to our review process. When incorporating code from other forks:
- All external contributions must go through our standard PR process
- Code must meet our quality standards and pass tests
- Code changes will require testing on multiple test servers before merging
- Attribution will be given to original authors and forks
- We prioritize stability and compatibility when evaluating external contributions
- Features that align with our project goals will be given priority consideration
