## What it is
Ruma was a Matrix homeserver implementation written in Rust, aiming to provide a complete server for the Matrix decentralized communication protocol. The project was discontinued in 2020, and this repository is archived as a historical reference.

## Use cases
- self-host a Matrix chat server in Rust
- run a lightweight federated chat server
- study a Rust implementation of the Matrix protocol
- deploy a small-scale Matrix homeserver

## When to choose
- you need a historical reference implementation of Matrix in Rust
- you want to reuse Ruma's code or libraries in a new project

## When to avoid
- you want a production Matrix homeserver today (use Synapse, Dendrite, or Conduit instead)
- you need maintained software with security updates
- you expect community support or new features

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: abandoned
- function: http-server, chatbot, api-framework
- domain: messaging-platforms, self-hosted, backend
- platform: windows, rust, self-hosted
- tags: matrix, homeserver, federation, chat-server, discontinued, linux, macos, docker
