So much responsibility to relay

AK 👸🏻 2y ago

I know.. I want to start small and private.

I don’t know how small or private going ities invasion can be, but sure sounds fun.

With great power comes great responsibility.

I don’t shy away from responsibility easily but I do want to learn more about it.

I run umbrel from a docker container on an Ubuntu virtual machine, its designed for raspbian but works fine in a vm. It took like 2 hours to fully setup. I had done network setup already for other self hosted servers, so may take more time. Dive in.

Run a relay to which end?

My immense rich social life?

What kind of relay do you want to run? For how many people? Public? Private?

AK 👸🏻 2y ago

I'd like to start private and small, moreso to learn and understand it more. Eventually go public and wild. 😄

I used Start9 on a RasPi for a private relay. But, it requires you to use TOR on your phone, which made my client, Amethyst, really slow.

Maybe there's a way around this?

Kajoozie Maflingo 2y ago

Nah, tor is slow as shit.

Update: I set my phone's VPN to split tunneling, and made an exception for Amethyst, so it doesn't use my VPN. Then, I set Orbot to only use TOR for Amethyst.

Seems to be a lot faster. We'll see how my phone battery holds up.
