Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Objectively, I can see that the last commit to the default branch was in March 2026, and that the 10th newest commit was back in September 2025. Of these 10, 3 are new features and 6 are fixes and 1 is documentation. I also see in the issue tracker that no project developer replied to the two newest reports, which were reported 2 weeks and 2 months ago.
As a subjective opinion, the explanation that Conduit is essentially rock-solid and this doesn't need much upkeep or commits, that is just not credible. The Git history shows fixes and new features, but at a rate that averages just one commit per month. And some of those commits are literally one-line changes.
But let's suppose that the maintainers are uninterested in small UI or quality-of-life features, and only make changes when it crosses their threshold for what is "important" enough. That's a choice, sure, but let's see if that holds water. Here is the project's response to an issue opened in January, with the response being in February that confirms a logic bug and schedules it for the next release.
That was three months ago. No updates. No mentioned branches or PRs or merges. All while this bug remains in place. And that's understandable for FOSS project developers, for whom the project is not their day job.
But in any circumstances, the totality of the evidence does not inspire confidence, let alone a determination that Conduit is "rock solid". And that's even before looking at the code.
TL;DR: the premise of the question is wrong. Conduit is not maintained.
