#asknostr is there a Nostr private relay on start9 that automatically listens to the network for events, and doesn’t require my client to connect to it? Similar to how Umbrel’s Nostr relay works?
Discussion
Perhaps nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll may know too
I looked at some chat logs they had but doesn’t look like I found the answer
this is what's currently available
So far the app worked nicely, but I would have to broadcast everything manually
What do you mean "broadcast everything manually"? When you create a note, it automatically gets broadcast to all your connected relays, at least the ones that permit writing.
What exactly are you trying to do. I think there might be some confusion about how Nostr works.
A relay only knows what it learns from clients. Relays do not talk to eachother like they do it Bitcoin.
You can't just spin up a relay and expect it to know anything.
no, the start9 nostr relay available in marketplace does not work that way. simply a relay that you can add to your client and have listen for your new events. cant pick up events from your npub retroactively like umbrels
Ahh dang I think that’s what I was trying to do, but so far that with Nostrudel’s app seems to be working
ya, it will work going forward. @npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll it would be cool if the relay service had a function in say the actions section of the service where you could input your npub and along with a list of a few popular relays and have the events your npub has written copied to your relay from those popular relays. would make the use case as a personal relay for your events stronger ( which seems to be the current use case), imo.

It would be nice, would also save me a lot of time backing up everything 🤣
its possible someone has made such a tool. that can be used to backup your notes to a set of relays, and you could include your start9 relay in that backup list.
#asknostr
the tools to make such tools exist in several languages... i started working on something at one time, it is in a moderate state of disarray:
https://github.com/Hubmakerlabs/replicatr/tree/main/cmd/ingestr
i didn't finish it because i was focused on the relay project that is embedded in, but it also even handles auth
afaik still works and should do the job
thank you friend!
feel free to totally steal it and make it better
i dont have the coding chops for that, but perhaps it can be useful to start9 to integrate an action for their relay service 🤙
it's not that complicated, i derived and mostly copied the libraries it uses from nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6 and @mattn to build that but yes it could be easier
Thank you 🤙🏽 I’ll try it out and see how it works 🫂
DM me or just reply here if you have questions, https://github.com/quanterall/kitchensink has a little guide on how to get set up to build #golang stuff
(i wrote that guide as a tool for introducing devs to Go)
I like this idea, will look into it.
check this note out in the same thread, might be helpful 🤙
