Dendrite is a second-generation Matrix homeserver written in Go! Dendrite is a second-generation Matrix homeserver written in Go.
It intends to provide an **efficient**, **reliable** and **scalable** alternative to Synapse:
- Efficient: A small memory footprint with better baseline performance than an out-of-the-box Synapse.
- Reliable: Implements the Matrix specification as written, using the
[same test suite](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest) as Synapse as well as
a [brand new Go test suite](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement).
- Scalable: can run on multiple machines and eventually scale to massive homeserver deployments.
As of October 2020, Dendrite has now entered **beta** which means:
- Dendrite is ready for early adopters. We recommend running in Monolith mode with a PostgreSQL database.
- Dendrite has periodic semver releases. We intend to release new versions as we land significant features.
- Dendrite supports database schema upgrades between releases. This means you should never lose your messages when upgrading Dendrite.
- Breaking changes will not occur on minor releases. This means you can safely upgrade Dendrite without modifying your database or config file.
This does not mean:
- Dendrite is bug-free. It has not yet been battle-tested in the real world and so will be error prone initially.
- All of the CS/Federation APIs are implemented. We are tracking progress via a script called 'Are We Synapse Yet?'. In particular,
read receipts, presence and push notifications are entirely missing from Dendrite. See [CHANGES.md](CHANGES.md) for updates.
- Dendrite is ready for massive homeserver deployments. You cannot shard each microservice, only run each one on a different machine.
Currently, we expect Dendrite to function well for small (10s/100s of users) homeserver deployments as well as P2P Matrix nodes in-browser or on mobile devices.
In the future, we will be able to scale up to gigantic servers (equivalent to matrix.org) via polylith mode.

## Quick start ## Requirements
Requires Go 1.13+ and SQLite3 (Postgres is also supported): To build Dendrite, you will need Go 1.13 or later.
For a usable federating Dendrite deployment, you will also need:
- A domain name (or subdomain)
- A valid TLS certificate issued by a trusted authority for that domain
- SRV records or a well-known file pointing to your deployment
Also recommended are:
- A PostgreSQL database engine, which will perform better than SQLite with many users and/or larger rooms
- A reverse proxy server, such as nginx, configured [like this sample](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/blob/master/docs/nginx/monolith-sample.conf)
The [Federation Tester](https://federationtester.matrix.org) can be used to verify your deployment.
## Get started
If you wish to build a fully-federating Dendrite instance, see [INSTALL.md](docs/INSTALL.md). For running in Docker, see [build/docker](build/docker).
The following instructions are enough to get Dendrite started as a non-federating test deployment using self-signed certificates and SQLite databases:
```bash ```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite $ git clone https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite

Then point your favourite Matrix client at `http://localhost:8008`. For full installation information, see Then point your favourite Matrix client at `http://localhost:8008`.
