As the title says, conduwuit has been forked as Tuwunnel which is labelled as the “successor with stable governance”.
Love open source! Glad to see real matrix server alternatives keep pushing.
Will switch to it as soon as available. Will be, of course, 100% upgradeable from conduwuit.
How does this differ from something like synapse?
Runs on hardware that isn’t a supercomputer.
I’m using what it’s forked from, conduit, and I’ve hosted my matrix homeserver on an Intel atom D2550 that’s also doing like 3 other things. When I tried the same with synapse or dendrite, opening a big chat room took a few days.
Interesting and good to know, thank you for the info! I haven’t run into that issue with synapse yet, but I’m also running it in a docker container on an enterprise server. I also don’t currently have any chat rooms with more than 5 or so users, and I imagine that is also a factor.
Synapse is meant for heavy duty and is a pretty resource intensive python implementation.
Conduwuit and derivate is in rust and blazing fast on small footprint.
