# Dendrite [](https://buildkite.com/matrix-dot-org/dendrite) [](https://matrix.to/#/#dendrite-dev:matrix.org) [](https://matrix.to/#/#dendrite:matrix.org)
|
|
|
|
Dendrite is a second-generation Matrix homeserver written in Go. It is not recommended to use Dendrite as
|
|
a production homeserver at this time as there is no stable release. An overview of the design can be found
|
|
in [DESIGN.md](docs/DESIGN.md).
|
|
|
|
# Quick start
|
|
|
|
Requires Go 1.13+ and SQLite3 (Postgres is also supported):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite
|
|
$ cd dendrite
|
|
|
|
# generate self-signed certificate and an event signing key for federation
|
|
$ go build ./cmd/generate-keys
|
|
$ ./generate-keys --private-key matrix_key.pem --tls-cert server.crt --tls-key server.key
|
|
|
|
# Copy and modify the config file:
|
|
# you'll need to set a server name and paths to the keys at the very least, along with setting
|
|
# up the database filenames
|
|
$ cp dendrite-config.yaml dendrite.yaml
|
|
|
|
# build and run the server
|
|
$ go build ./cmd/dendrite-monolith-server
|
|
$ ./dendrite-monolith-server --tls-cert server.crt --tls-key server.key --config dendrite.yaml
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then point your favourite Matrix client at `http://localhost:8008`. For full installation information, see
|
|
[INSTALL.md](docs/INSTALL.md). For running in Docker, see [build/docker](build/docker).
|

# Progress
|
|
|
|
We use a script called Are We Synapse Yet which checks Sytest compliance rates. Sytest is a black-box homeserver
|
|
test rig with around 900 tests. The script works out how many of these tests are passing on Dendrite and it
|
|
updates with CI. As of July 2020 we're at around 48% CS API coverage and 50% Federation coverage, though check
|
|
CI for the latest numbers. In practice, this means you can communicate locally and via federation with Synapse
|
|
servers such as matrix.org reasonably well. There's a long list of features that are not implemented, notably:
|
|
- Receipts
|
|
- Push
|
|
- Search and Context
|
|
- User Directory
|
|
- Presence
|
|
- Guests
|
|
- E2E keys and device lists
|
|
|
|
We are prioritising features that will benefit single-user homeservers first (e.g Receipts, E2E) rather
|
|
than features that massive deployments may be interested in (User Directory, OpenID, Guests, Admin APIs, AS API).
|
|
This means Dendrite supports amongst others:
|
|
- Core room functionality (creating rooms, invites, auth rules)
|
|
- Federation in rooms v1-v6
|
|
- Backfilling locally and via federation
|
|
- Accounts, Profiles and Devices
|
|
- Published room lists
|
|
- Typing
|
|
- Media APIs
|
|
- Redaction
|
|
- Tagging
|

# Discussion
|
|
|
|
For questions about Dendrite we have a dedicated room on Matrix
|
|
[#dendrite:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#dendrite:matrix.org). Development
|
|
discussion should happen in
|
|
[#dendrite-dev:matrix.org](https://matrix.to/#/#dendrite-dev:matrix.org).
