Telodendria

Telodendria is an open source Matrix homeserver implementation written from scratch in ANSI C and designed to be lightweight and simple, yet functional.

Telodendria differentiates itself from the 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 into the source code. Everything Telodendria needs is custom written. As a result, Telodendria depends only on a standard C compiler and a POSIX C library to be built, both of which should come with any 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 very few restrictions on what you can do with it.
