I think once Start9 releases clearnet the true potential of nostr will be unleashed.
A relay and blossom server in every home.
Discussion
It'll never happen
They've been promising the release since '21
Just run tailscale on there. Its;
- free
- fast
- encrypted
- extremely easy to setup; less than 30 seconds for me to setup
Literally a one-click install
Use it all the time
Don't trust tailscale? Run headscale (all relay server self-hosted)
It already happened. Beta is not far out:
I'll believe it when I can one click run
You can, here is a link to alpha11 .iso files: https://github.com/Start9Labs/start-os/actions/runs/13056709642
Thank you
I'm in their chats and listening to their meetings regularly. It's in alpha and I have it running on my dev box. But unfortunately I also use T-Mobile internet so I don't have router control or an ip... So I will have to use taikscale anyway
But I am trying to verify that T-Mobile is blocking my Reticulum setup before I drop them.
I’ve been seeing this a lot and want to look into it. Is there a Start9 package for it? Or some guide?
Check the docs for any OS/device you want to run it on
Setup a free account (good for 5 devices)
Run curl command
Done
Wayyy to simple, fast, encrypted & FREE
Thanks! 🤙
Good for 100 devices! Wow
I saw that! So is this like a self-hosted VPN? I’m going to read the how-it-works page but I can’t wait. 😆
Yes correct
If you don't trust tailscale then you can use headscale
Head great things about that havent tried it tho
I use it all the time for all the 3D printers and other nodes
Works excellent. & also have SSH enabled so I can do the fine-detailed things
& on one desktop I have full desktop view as if I'm sitting there
Amazing
Awesome can’t wait to try it out. 😎
Headscale has some limits around ACL functionality that the tailscale coordinator has, and obviously doesn't have a flashy full-featured admin interface, but it more than gets the job done for a small user network. Mine's been going for at least a few years.
Tailscale alone is pretty safe. They'll know your device & network layout, and how much traffic each uses, but nothing more granular than that. Technically, you can do a lot with it running from a home server & on your phone on the go.
ive lived several lives waiting for that update, hahah
and i totally agree, not just nostr but i think we will see an amazing new level of development for self-hosting in general on Start9 once clearnet is up and running
Their new tagline could be 'be your own
Yes, I have a big project in the works that should allow folks to 1 click start making passive income from it
