I guess installing and running relay is a must have skill! My goal is to learn as much as possible on my raspberry pi (see how it will go) and then scale it up if there will be a demand🤔 A lot of stuff to learn but really exciting times! Reminds me when I got in #bitcoin and started learning how to self custody, run nodes etc.

Yes, agree. Running a nostr relay is equal to running the own btc node. 👍
I've set up mine last week on linux. Was a steep learning curve. I'm not a programmer or know much about linux. But liked the challenge.
This instruction was helpful:

Might also help you.
You can check it out/connect to the relay if you like. I deployed it together with my website https://www.hifish.org which is very basic but I continue working on it 😊
Thanks for sharing this.
I tried getting a lightning node running. It was the most annoying thing I ever worked on. Very frustrating.
Was any part of the process most difficult?
Being on a Mac. The software I was using kept saying LND wallet password invalid. I have no wallet yet, I couldn’t create one, I don’t have a password. And there was not enough documentation.
The. When I tried to reverse my mess. My node and sparrow wallet didn’t want to communicate the same way, and spent more hours to get those to talk to each other as they were.
Of course I ended up connecting them in a completely different way after that.
Oh wow 😳
Thanks for sharing and #LOL learning out loud 🤙
Ministry of nodes has great tutorials on this to make it easy or just use mynode start9 umbrel etc
