What is the benifit of setting up a nostr relay?
Discussion
private relays are fun, can post your own messages to them for personal use, write bots that posts personal notifications to them, etc.
Public relays are harder to run but improve network resiliency
What relay software do you run?
I’m playing with the rust one at the moment:
Thank you for your reply. I am considering if I should set up a relay on my VPS, a complicated job for me.
I hear ya!
do it!
$ mkdir -p ~/.nostr/data
$ docker run -p 7000:8080 -v ~/.nostr/data:/usr/src/app/db scsibug/nostr-rs-relay
tried on my pc, But when $ sudo build -t nostr-rs-relay . , it stopped at
" Step 6/24 : RUN cargo build --release

I just built and ran it without docker and it worked fine, have you tried installing rust and just running:
cargo build --release
The binary gets built into:
./target/release
