Based on Umbrel's latest tweets, I'm guessing that tomorrow Umbrel's app store will add Nostr relays and Nostr clients. That means, those of you that have been wanting to run local clients and private relays will now have a simple few button clicks to accomplish these tasks. This is great!

That said, from a security standpoint, I wouldn't co-mingle my Nostr services and my Bitcoin services on the same hardware. In fact, I don't. Just because it's easy to do, doesn't mean you should do it. If you absolutely have to do it, I would say it's probably *okay* to run a Nostr client on your Umbrel device. I would not run a relay that's open to the Internet though.

Most likely will cause more stabilization issues for that already plagued codebase.
