I can vouch for the easy to setup part. Much better in that regard than Dendrite.

As for server resource use... that is relative. Compared to Synapse? Sure... but it is still a heavy piece of software compared to what it does. Also as with all Matrix homeservers: storage use increases over time and is largely out of the control of the server operator, which can lead to tricky situations.

That kinda implies they are wasting a lot of resources they could be otherwise saved. I think it's more a case of Matrix server being inherently tricky to implement.

I hope the developers are aware of yunohost. One click installs that don't rely on docker are what the world needs.

Did you mean you hope Yunohost maintainers are aware of this?

I can also confirm the easiness of setup.
In fact, conduit is so easy to setup that i just packed it into my linux release of Federated Triangle Of Doom https://houkime.itch.io/federated-triangle-of-doom
And how i packed it is i just included the release binary, a short config file and a oneline script to spin the thing up.
And it works just from the folder. Since static Rust.
