# ADR-001: Homeserver Selection — Conduit
|
|
|
|
**Status**: Accepted
|
|
**Date**: 2026-04-05
|
|
**Deciders**: Ezra (architect), Timmy Foundation
|
|
**Scope**: Matrix homeserver for human-to-fleet encrypted communication (#166, #183)
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
|
|
We need a Matrix homeserver to serve as the sovereign operator surface. Options:
|
|
- **Synapse** (Python, mature, resource-heavy)
|
|
- **Dendrite** (Go, lighter, beta federation)
|
|
- **Conduit** (Rust, lightweight, SQLite support)
|
|
|
|
## Decision
|
|
|
|
Use **Conduit** as the Matrix homeserver.
|
|
|
|
## Consequences
|
|
|
|
| Positive | Negative |
|
|
|----------|----------|
|
|
| Low RAM/CPU footprint (~200 MB) | Smaller ecosystem than Synapse |
|
|
| SQLite option eliminates Postgres ops | Some edge-case federation bugs |
|
|
| Single binary, simple systemd service | Admin tooling less mature |
|
|
| Full federation support | |
|
|
|
|
## Alternatives Considered
|
|
|
|
- **Synapse**: Rejected due to Python overhead and mandatory Postgres complexity.
|
|
- **Dendrite**: Rejected due to beta federation status; we need reliable federation from day one.
