This is a desktop app, that's great.

Do I need to open ports etc?

This depends on your network environment and firewall configuration. In general, you can use it directly.

If you don't want to use the desktop app, you can also try this: https://github.com/CodyTseng/nostr-relay-sqlite

it is weekly task to shuffle relays - not one time job

newbie should just use primal or current with caching - preset relay list (other clients have preset relays too) - once become power adv user then juggle with relays

I have people who aren't devs asking me "how do I run a relay" and I want to send them something but most of the guides I find are either terrible or outdated

Step 1: Buy a Start9

...that's what I should tell them? 😂

You don't have to buy a start9 you can run it for free which is super simple.. And then it is a few clicks.

Do you think someone can run a nostr relay without a computer or operating system 🤣?

if you don't know what a VPS or docker is and you just want to run it on a cheap old computer you own..

With coding experience or not?

Most people should try https://nostr1.com/ before going for their own servers.

Fair enough! Thanks for sharing I forgot that this exists.
