A little background¶

Continuwuity is a fork of the much-loved Matrix server, conduwuit, which itself is a fork of the Conduit Matrix server. Continuwuity is built with the goal of being a high-performance, efficient Matrix server, suitable for both personal and larger deployments.

Unlike Synapse, the other popular Matrix server implementation, Continuwuity is way easier to set up, maintain, and use. With Continuwuity, you get performance out of the door, without needing to tweak a million settings or set up a dozen "workers". All you need to do is run a binary or OCI image, and you're good to go.

This guide is going to walk you through most of the steps required to set up a Continuwuity server, right from scratch. Feel free to use the table of contents to skip to whatever section is most relevant for you to start at!
