Nostr Web Client

I'm having trouble understanding and setting up my own Nostr relay.

I'm not a #dev like many of you, so the process of researching takes SOOOO long and it's not straightforward due to all the evolving tech, apps, etc. UGH

I set up my #NostrRelay on my new #Start9 and I'm the only user of that #relay so far, I think. (I want to keep it private and personal in the beginning.)

In #Amethyst I added my relay (I think).

Now, when I post images, they don't display in Snort or Primal.

Do I have to manually "connect" my relay to other relays? Do my followers have to be on my relay to see my posts?

Primal displays a "nostr:nevent1..." URL

Snort displays this:

Are you select nip-95 when uploading a image?

I believe so, yes

Try selecting the other options. I believe most of the relays don't support nip 95 yet

use the nostr.build option

Thx. But when choosing that option, it says "nostr.build can modify the file". Is my file still going to be stored on my own relay if I choose this?

quote renoted your question, idk personally but sounds like noh. you only store your notes. If you want to store your own media you should selfhost w jellyfin or that cloud server statting with an N.

(cant recall the name) on start9

I think

I am hosting my own Nostr relay on my new Start9

But since no other apps are using NIP-95 I can't store my own media on my own relay because if I do, no one on the other apps can see my media. Part of the reason I bought the Start9 server is to host my own Nostr media, but oh well. Perhaps soon there will be a solution.

you can run jellyfin and host your own media
