I want to setup a low cost paid relay under my domain for people to use. What are the recommended server specs (going to use a VPS)? I want this thing to be blazing fast, but don't want to have overkill.

I've seen "Ubuntu 22.10, 8GB memory, 160GB NVME SSDs" as a minimum, but I want more of a "recommended" level than this.

8 GB Memory is enough. 100GB disk is more than enough for now. You don't need much CPU power.

What relay implementation are you planning on using?

Undecided as of yet, looking at two different ones:

#nostr-rs-relay

&

#nostream

Appreciate the recommendations!

I was using nostr-rs-relay to run a free public relay for a while, but I think most of the paid relays are running nostream.

I shut my free relay down because it wasn't getting enough usage to justify the VPS. I'll probably get around to setting up a paid relay eventually.
