This is what I use. Amethyst+Haven. It's a great setup for the sovereign individual.

What is Haven ?
#haven is the relay software that i run. it has outbox and inbox support, private DM support, and blossom media support. https://github.com/bitvora/haven
Ohh nice, i'll take a look
Can you give a brief summary of how you "run it"
I am at the stage where I have "built" some things, like a full node, following guides with every command. But in a general sense. How is it done?
There is pretty good documentation! Reading up.
if you have any specific questions let me or nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8 know.
honestly the readme guide for haven should be sufficient. it's spot on to what i do. the only addition would be router port forwarding and/or cloudflare configuration.
This is my next level project to tackle.
I usually stumble in making the .env files and what the hell the environment setups are. But this is a great tool to plug away at and learn how to "run" things.
Feel like a fucking caveman🤣
The env config should be pretty straightforward. The example one included is nicely done.
Sweet! Now for hardware. What would the specs be for trying to host the personal blossom server?
I am using a 5 year old laptop as a "server". I7, 16GB of RAM. I use this for many things though.
How much storage?
it's a 1TB drive.
What OS?
Ubuntu Server
Do you happened to know why zap.store server not found ?
And I keep getting this error 500 for receiving sats : on my Alby wallet . What could be possibly the cause ?
New domain https://zapstore.dev
is haven software as a service like relay.tools or has to be self-hosted?
it is not SaaS. it is self hosted software. you'll need a server or computer to run it on either at home or in the cloud. https://github.com/bitvora/haven
hmm, alright. maybe itll come to start9 someday.
Can create your own service if you want.
https://docs.start9.com/0.3.5.x/developer-docs/packaging#choosing-software
start9 does have nostr relays on the marketplace, just not haven at this time.
ya, its not very useful in its current form.
Have you tried to put haven in a container? Ive only gotten it to work inside of a golang container but thats 1GB. Dont know enough about go to either modify the repo (maybe something in go.mod or main.go?) or build with some flags im not aware of... help?
not something i know how to do at this time, unfortunately. not a coder
