Yeah. It seems to be running but I tried connecting to it from my local network without any reverse proxy or anything and it doesnt seem to work. Im sure Ive configured something wrong

If you are connecting to local network, Ensure that you are connecting with ws:// and NOT wss://.

Why is that ?

wss:// is for secured connection. Non secured connection should use ws:// instead. If you have a working TLS, You could use wss://. But for your setup that only serves locally, there's no need for TLS.

Oh ty. I never seen ws/wss until Nostr came along.

Nostr relays are using websocket to communicate with relays. So you will see ws:// or wss:// at the end of nostr relays URL.

Websockets are not nostr specific thing. It's an internet thing.

Yeah I did that. When I start bostr it says listening on ws://0.0.0.0:8080 and connected to wss://relay.damus.io. Do I put ws://0.0.0.0:8080 in my nostr client relay section? Should it work after that? (It didnt) The only thing I changed in the config is the damus relay. Is there anything else Im missing that is required?

You can connect locally on your network by adding ws://server-ip:8080

Otherwise you need nginx reverse proxy with ssl so you can access it anywhere

wss://domain
