Hi, GM!
I’m interested in running a relay for Nostr. I have basic technical knowledge and would greatly appreciate it if someone could share a step-by-step guide on how to set one up.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Paco

Here's a couple of good tutorials I found on running relays:
https://github.com/BlockChainCaffe/Nostr-Relay-Setup-Guide
https://thebitcoinmanual.com/articles/run-private-nostr-relay/
I run my own Nostr relay on my Start9 server. Not sure if you're interested in going that route.
I have a pc. I dont have a start 9
I've never run through this tutorial, but this looks pretty solid. Might be a good place to start: https://usenostr.org/relay
I run one on nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct
I'm a lot more technical than my normies, but compared to my Nostr friends, my expertise doesn't move the needle. Because I've never watched anyone set up a relay step by step in layman's terms, I tried, but failed to set up a VPS. I know WHAT to do, just no clue how to actually do it. At least one huge influencer from X is now putting a spotlight on Nostr: nostr:npub1xr7t5h0l25ej73pm04zgz9afeexyzsjx67s5v0xxf2sshjn4sx6sep2gqh whom I follow closely on X. We could see huge influxes of new users from this alone. If we want new users to run relays, the process for doing so must be made easier. And it must be over clearnet, not Tor.

Wipe a second machine w start9 os & use the nostr relays in their marketplace.
It looks like Start9 servers are currently sold out 😕 
Start9 OS is open source, you can install it on anything you got.
but what if start9 finish to trade? is any crypto compromised?
DYI Start 9 🫂

Umbrel? I think nostr:npub1aghreq2dpz3h3799hrawev5gf5zc2kt4ch9ykhp9utt0jd3gdu2qtlmhct
Or nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll
See the link. It has all the existing relays. You can see their features, technologies used and how to install them. -- Suggestion: If you have knowledge of how to configure a server, do not use Umbrel or Star9. They are heavy and will lose performance. If it is just a test to understand the technology, then it is valid to use them.
Check out nostr:npub196yyptscyzkmruk88593awcsm7dgknrf7phqu2p8mkntmnzxyvwqsdm0v9
