Open question to the nostr community:

How would someone go about setting up a relay? I don't have any specific coding knowledge although I can stumble my way around just fine.

What kind of hardware can I use? Should I be using server hardware or could I use an old laptop?

I genuinely want to learn more about this protocol and the best way I find would be to jump into the deep end and just set up a relay from scratch.

If anyone could help, that would be amazing!

Good questions. If I were to start with one I would go with private relay for a community. Maybe personal use?

Once my knowledge starts to grow on the subject I'll be able to take it further but I need a starting point.

https://relaying.io/ is also a good option from what I've heard. nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 might have more info.
