A faster, lighter Matrix homeserver in Rust, backed by Swiss government.
Core Features
- Written in Rust for low memory footprint and high concurrency
- Full Matrix spec compatibility, works with all clients & bridges
- Seamless migration from conduwuit (binary swap)
- Multiple deployment options: Docker, static binaries, deb/rpm, Nix, Alpine
- Optional TLS with Caddy auto-renewal
What It Can't Do
- •server_name cannot be changed after initial setup; avoid subdomains. Never switch between different Conduit forks — database will corrupt. Migration from Synapse is not yet available (track issue #2).
Use Cases
- Self-hosted decentralized chat for individuals and organizations
- Replace Synapse to reduce resource usage and increase performance
- Secure messaging infrastructure for governments, schools, and enterprises
Detailed Introduction
Tuwunel is a featureful Matrix homeserver written entirely in Rust. It aims to be a scalable, low-cost, and enterprise-ready alternative to Synapse, supporting all major Matrix clients, bridges, and bots. The project is the official successor to conduwuit and is sponsored by the Swiss government for citizen deployment. It offers easy migration from conduwuit, supports Docker, static binaries, and multiple package managers. Tuwunel implements the complete Matrix specification and provides a demo server, comprehensive documentation, and community support via Matrix chat.
