-## High Performance [Matrix](https://matrix.org/) Chat Homeserver in Rust!
+## High Performance Matrix Homeserver in Rust!
-### Status
+Tuwunel is a featureful [Matrix](https://matrix.org/) federation homeserver you can use instead of Synapse
+with your favorite Matrix [client](https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/),
+[bridge](https://matrix.org/ecosystem/bridges/) or
+[bot](https://matrix.org/ecosystem/integrations/). The server is written entirely in Rust as a scalable,
+low-cost, lightweight, community-driven alternative covering all but the most niche use-cases.
-Tuwunel is a successor to conduwuit. We are currently in the process of transitioning.
-The software is just as great as before. Please bear with us.
+This project is the official successor to [conduwuit](https://github.com/girlbossceo/conduwuit), which
+was a featureful and high-performance fork of [Conduit](https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit), all
+community-lead alternatives to Synapse implementing the compatible
+[Matrix Specification](https://spec.matrix.org/latest/).
-### Goals
+Tuwunel is operated by enterprise users with a vested interest in sponsoring its continued
+development. It is now maintained by full-time staff.
-**Maximum Performance.** Tuwunel relentlessly pursues optimization, embracing hardware
-acceleration with the highest throughput and lowest latency for messages.
+### Getting Started
-**Unlimited Features.** Tuwunel is working toward a fully modular design to leverage
-the widest number of contributor features. Our goal is to never have to say no to your ideas.
+1. Download Tuwunel
+ - [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel/releases)
+ - [Sourcecode](https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel/) `git clone https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel.git`
+ - [DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/r/jevolk/tuwunel) or `docker pull jevolk/tuwunel:latest`
+ - [GHCR](https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel/pkgs/container/tuwunel) or `docker pull ghcr.io/matrix-construct/tuwunel:latest`
+ - Deb and RPM packages are available and this will be updated with a link.
+ - Arch Package is expected very soon and this will be updated.
+ - Nix Package has not yet been updated but expect this soon.
-#### Can I migrate or switch from Conduwuit?
+2. [Configure](https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel/blob/main/docs/configuration.md) by copying and editing the `tuwunel-example.toml`. **Most users deploy via docker or a distribution package and should follow the [appropriate guide](https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel/tree/main/docs/deploying) instead**. This is just a summary for the impatient. See the full [documentation](https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel/blob/main/docs/).
-Yes.
+ - Setting the `server_name` and `database_path` is required.
+ - The `registration_token` is the easiest method to enable `allow_registration = true`.
-#### Can I migrate or switch from Conduit?
+ 👉 Avoid using a sub-domain for your `server_name`. You can always delegate `example.com` to `matrix.example.com` by setting up a [`.well-known`](https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy/blob/master/docs/configuring-well-known.md) file later, but you can never change your `server_name`.
-No.
+3. Setup TLS certificates. Most users enjoy the [Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/) reverse-proxy which automates their certificate renewal. Advanced users can load their own TLS certificates using the configuration and Tuwunel can be deployed without a reverse proxy. Example `/etc/caddy/Caddyfile` configuration with [Element-web](https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/releases) unzipped in `/var/www/element`:
+ ```
+ https://tuwunel.me:8448 {
+ reverse_proxy http://127.0.0.1:8008
+ }
-#### Can I migrate from Synapse?
+ https://tuwunel.me:443 {
+ root * /var/www/element/
+ file_server
+ }
+ ```
+ `caddy reload --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile`
+
+
+ 🤗 Did you find this and other documentation helpful? We would love your feedback when setting up Tuwunel. _No problem is your fault_. Please open an issue to help us streamline.
+
+
+### Migrating to Tuwunel
+
+| Can I migrate from | |
+|-----------------|-----------|
+| conduwuit? | ✅ Yes. This will be supported at a minimum for one year, but likely indefinitely. |
+| Synapse? | ❌ Not yet, but this is planned and an important issue. Subscribe to [#2](https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel/issues/2). |
+| Conduit? | ❌ Not right now, but this is planned and expected in the near future. Subscribe to [#41](https://github.com/matrix-construct/tuwunel/issues/41). |
+| Another domain? | ❌ No. Matrix does not yet support changing your domain. The `server_name` you choose is permanent. |
+| Any other fork of Conduit? | ❌ **Never switch between different derivatives of Conduit or you will corrupt your database.** Even if it appears to be working fine for a while, the corruption is often silent and the damage is permanent. We cannot help you the moment you run another fork without a migration path explicitly sanctioned by Tuwunel in this table. |
+
+
+#### Migrating from conduwuit
+
+Migrating from conduwuit to Tuwunel _just works_. In technical parlance it is a "binary swap."
+All you have to do is update to the latest Tuwunel and change the path to the executable from
+`conduwuit` to `tuwunel`.
+
+Anything else named "conduwuit" is still recognized, this includes environment variables with prefixes
+such as `CONDUWUIT_`. In fact, `CONDUIT_` is still recognized for our legacy users. You may have
+noticed that various configs, yamls, services, users, and other items were renamed, but if you
+were a conduwuit user we recommend against changing anything at all. This will keep things simple.
+If you are not sure please ask. If you found out that something did in fact need to be changed
+please open an issue immediately.
+
+
+### Getting Help & Support
+
+The official community will be found at [#tuwunel:tuwunel.chat](https://matrix.to/#/#tuwunel:tuwunel.chat).
+If this is currently inaccessible please be patient as it's still coming online at the time of
+the first release; we will have updates to this section. This is a fully moderated space to protect
+the wellbeing of our users and create a non-toxic work environment for staff. Users will not have
+permission to post by default. Additional access is granted on an as-needed/as-trusted basis.
+If you require assistance with anything that is not remedied by the documentation, please open
+an issue on github. If discussion is required we will grant access at that point.
+
+If you are opposed to using github, or private discussion is required, or for any other reason,
+I would be happy to receive your DM at [@jason:tuwunel.me](https://matrix.to/#/@jason:tuwunel.me),
+you will not be bothering me and it would be my pleasure to help you anytime. As an emergency contact
+you can send an email to jasonzemos@gmail.com.
+
+##### Tuwunel Fanclub
+
+We also have an unofficial community-run chat which is publicly accessible at
+[#tuwunel:grin.hu](https://matrix.to/#/#tuwunel:grin.hu). The members, content, or moderation
+decisions of this room are not in any way related or endorsed by this project or its sponsors,
+and not all project staff will be present there. There will be at least some presence by staff to
+offer assistance so long as the room remains in minimally good standing.
-No, but this is planned.
