Three instances of nostrcheck running on different #thenostr users servers 💜

My part of the deal is done, just need some clients to take a chance on NIP96 and the magic is done.

For those who don't know, NIP96 allows you to add and remove media servers in a similar way as we do now with relays. Nostrcheck server can be installed in your home server to be sovereign of your data (with all its potential, NIP05, lightning redirections, multimedia hosting, etc).

I think this is something very necessary for the protocol. What would happen if tomorrow one of the existing media providers closes down? We cannot leave this centralized.

What are the minimum requirements for server? Should it be always online or it is possible to host it on a personal computer and start when we will connect to Nostr?

The server uses very few resources, except when processing videos (it uses ffmpeg). In general with 2-4 GB of ram and 50GB of space should be enough for a long time (3-4 years of data). Nostrcheck.me now hosts 40.000 pictures and videos and the data usage is about 9GB.

You can stop the server, but your multimedia files will not be available to others, your notes with images or videos will not be seen (unless you use something like cloudflare, in its free version).
