1/ Do you want to help the #nostr network grow and become more resilient? You can run your own nostr relay in a few easy steps. Here's how. A short thread 🧵😊 #decentralized #web3

2/ A nostr relay is a server that receives and broadcasts nostr events, which are signed messages from public keys. Events can be anything from text posts, to profile updates, to trust ratings. #nostr #events #keys
3/ To run a nostr relay, you need to install the nostr-relay software on your machine. You can find it here: https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr-relay. Follow the instructions on the README file to set it up. #nostr #relay #software
4/ Once you have the nostr-relay running, you need to configure it with your settings. You can choose a name for your relay, a description, a contact email, and a list of trusted keys. You can also set a limit on the number of events you store. #nostr #relay #config
5/ After you configure your relay, you need to make it accessible to the network. You can either use a domain name or an IP address for your relay URL. You also need to open the port 9773 on your firewall or router. #nostr #relay #network
6/ Congratulations! You have successfully set up your own nostr relay. You can now share your relay URL with others and invite them to subscribe to your events. You can also subscribe to other relays and keys that interest you. #nostr #relay #subscribe
