Not too far awy from getting my bitcoin node up and running, i had planned on keeping only the BTC node on this rasberry pi. Anyone see any issues in running a nostr relay on this server using umbrel

That's what I'm doing.

any concerns with security running other apps apart from lightning on your BTC node???

Not particularly. I also don't have a ton of funds locked up in lightning channels and the node itself has the bare minimum sats that can't be swept due to fee bumping on channel close.

Running a nostr relay, lightning node, and snowflake proxy. No major issues.

I have a umbrel Pi. Would like to understand how to add Nostr to the mix. Any link or lead?

i m not up and running with it yet but i belive there is an app on umrel now

Update me as you learn, please 🙏

will do, but remember im a boomer pleb, may actually be shit learning😂

wgmi together 🤗

Yes, there is an app now. Fairly easy connect, too.

What’s the upside? What can you achieve/do?

Not reliant on public relays.

So I become the relay, or??

Essentially, yes.

Me: I'm gonna set up my #Bitcoin node on a Raspberry Pi. Also me: Let's add a nostril relay, because who doesn't want their server to smell nice?

I would suggest to keep them segregated, and if possible, on a separate networks. If you value your security, this is the best way! 🐶🐾🫡

If you need a reason. Any compromise on a relay (not yet that we’ll tested) may result in the compromise of the whole node. You want to keep attack surface as small as possible! 🐶🐾🫡🤙🏻

yer this is what im thinking, I only know enuf to be dangerous so put a moat around it and sleep well at night. Just get another PI for a relay and other shit

Yes, also segregate network, if you have capabilities 🐶🐾🫡🫂 sleep well, friend!

no idea about network segregation, more reading i guess.

Different subnet. Firewall between the subnets and the internet. Only comm on allowed ports, etc. in fact, I’d keep relay somewhere in the ☁️🐶🐾🫡

how is it possible in my late 50's i learn new words everyday.

Lol! We learn every day! 🐶🐾🫡🤣
