Telodendria

Telodendria: The terminal branches of an axon.

Telodendria is an open source Matrix homeserver implementation written from scratch in ANSI C. It is designed to be lightweight and simple, yet functional. Telodendria differentiates itself from other Matrix homeserver implementations because it:

• Is written in C, a stable, low-level programming language with a long history, low build and runtime overhead, and wide compatibility.
• Is written with minimalism as a primary design goal. Whenever possible and practical, no third-party libraries are pulled in to the source code. Everything Telodendria needs is custom written. As a result, Telodendria depends only on a standard C compiler and POSIX C library to be built, both of which are built in to a good Unix-style operating system already, which means you shouldn't have to install anything extra.
• Uses a flat-file directory structure to store data instead of a database. This has a number of advantages:
  • It makes setup and maintenance much easier.
  • It allows Telodendria to run on systems with fewer resources.
• Is packaged as a single small, statically-linked and highly-optimized binary that can be run just about anywhere. It is designed to be extremely easy to set up and consume as few resources as possible.
• Is permissively licensed. Telodendria is licensed under a modified MIT license, which imposes few restrictions on what you can do with it.

Download

Telodendria is distributed as source tarballs, in true Unix fashion. If you want, you can verify the checksum of your download, and check the signature. To check the signature, you'll need signify, and the signify public key: telodendria-signify.pub.

If your operating system has an official package or port of Telodendria, you should prefer to use that instead of manually downloading the source and building it. If your operating system's package or port is too out of date for your tastes, please contact the package's maintainers to notify them, or offer to update the package yourself.

You can find the change log in the documentation.

Documentation

Telodendria's documentation is distributed with the source code as man pages, which contain all of the information on what Telodendria is, what its goals are, how to build the source, configure it, as well as contribute to the project. The man pages are also available online for convenience:

• telodendria(7) - Introduction and project information, including licensing information
• telodendria(8) - Command line usage
• telodendria.conf(5) - Configuration file
• contributing(7) - Contributing guide
• td(8) - Build script and patch instructions
