People often ask, why should you run your own private Nostr relay? It's simple. You run a private Nostr relay to backup your own data. This puts you in control of your own data. This prevents you from getting censored or rugged. If anything happens to the relays that you use, you can re-broadcast or transmit your data to other relays if so inclined.
Tools exist in various capacities to accomplish this, but I'll recommend 3 that I've used.
The shadowy super coder route:

The pleb route:
Umbrel and Start9 both have one-click relay options. Umbrel's is probably the best.
Thanks to you and the talk we had in PM a while ago, it's all in the works here!
Parts ordered, almost all received and then it's showtime!
I wonder, if it is only a private relay, it shouldn't be I/O heavy right?
I'll be able to do other things with my Raspberry 4 if I want to?
