Overview

Continuwuity is a lightweight Matrix homeserver written in Rust, the actively maintained community successor to conduwuit and Conduit. A single binary paired with an embedded RocksDB store speaks the full Matrix client server API, so a self hosted team or community chat server runs with no external database, no Redis and no separate application stack. Users connect any standard Matrix client such as Element, sign in against your own server, and get real time messaging, rooms, direct messages and file sharing that you fully control.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg ships Continuwuity behind an nginx TLS reverse proxy on a hardened, fully patched base. Registration is closed by default and gated behind a registration token generated uniquely on first boot, a single server admin account is created with a unique password with no default login, the homeserver signing key and TLS certificate are generated per VM on first boot so nothing is shared between deployments, a paired step by step deployment guide is included, and 24/7 support is available.
