For any #SelfHosters looking to get NIP-05 verified, it's literally just dropping a single text file in the right place (.well-known/nostr.json to be exact).

https://nostr.how/en/guides/get-verified goes through the details and shows how to get your pubkey in hex format instead of npub format.

The hardest part was figuring out which relays I post to (which I could have omitted from the json file). I'm connected to more than a dozen relays, but it looks like #Amethyst only posts to a subset of them (based on the icons to the left of each post).

Furthermore, Amethyst doesn't seem to indicate which relays you will post to, nor allow exporting all the relays in your list. So if you have customized your list of relays, I hope you manually typed them into a text file somewhere so you have a backup.

To make things even wise, clicking on the relay icon to the left of a post does not show the URL of that relay, just the name, description and icon.

I worked around all of these limitations by clicking on each relay icon, and memorizing the nsme for long enough to switch to my Relays view and then looking for a URL that probably matches.

For the ones that didn't have a name that helped me out, I looked very closely at the tiny icon and then quickly switched to the relays view again and looked for a matching robot icon.

With that, I was able to identify every relay that I post to and type them into the JSON file. If I spin up my own relay, I'll be glad to have examples when I go to add the relay to my list.
