With all the talk of small relays, I guess I should start running my own personal one. It would be nice for a backup anyways.

I've got a spare Debian VPS sitting idle. What is the best option for a small personal relay? I would appreciate any advice or links!

Stages

1. Run own caching + backup

2. Open it to world n whitelist known npubs

above wont cost u anything extra.

Hey! I was running my own NOSTR relay with huge dreams. It was fun and the first goal was well achieved: Have my own notes archived, which may be later re-published.

My second goal was a world domination, but it was cancelled as i found out that less relays are better. This way I never pushed my relays to the public as a free relay.

I was using https://sr.ht/~gheartsfield/nostr-rs-relay/ on my self hosted server. Takes nearly no resources if you are the only user.
