We need:
1. Good images for specific relays to deploy
2. Easy deployment solutions.
Relay tools IS this. It has an api for deployment too. I have many plans to further execute on exactly this kind of thing, inciuding supporting more relay flavors, more self hosting, more networking setups. Obviously, there is an opportunity to revisit and rewrite a lot of it to achieve true 'one click', and I had plans to do this.
BUT I needed funding and I guess nobody on the opensats voting team has seen what I've been doing the last year (for free).. Y'all should give me a boost or something if you think I've helped your projects in the last 2 years+, I feel like I've done a lot, esp for NIP17.
I'm still working on it pretty much daily, and I may apply again with smaller goals I don't really know. The urgency and excitement is suppressed knowing I'm basically on nostr deth row.
The amount of work required to execute on this is quite a lot, and my submission reflected this.
the tldr is you can one tap launch DM relays already, maybe i should add it to amethyst? 😎
Would be cool as part of a "relay wizard" kind of thing.
like this? https://relaywizard.com/
This API if you are interested. It' nip86++
https://github.com/relaytools/relaycreator/blob/main/pages/api/README-API.md
how many customers do you have?
there was also https://relaying.to but I suspect no one wants to setup relays
😁 people always ask this.. and that's all good. But there is not just one answer.
The measurement I tend to use is *not how many people use the relay.tools instance, but how many install it and use it with their own networks and servers. So far, that number is less than I had envisioned (1-3 that I know of). Also I can see many of the reasons why and I know what needs to happen.
The instance I run currently has approx 60 relays and .. (hundereds?) of relay members. This is probably more what you were wondering about.. I don't tend to do a lot of marketing either, because expanding this instance past what it already is, that just isn't really my main goal here. To be distributed there needs to be many instances.
if you don't mind me asking, what is your main paid gig to enable you to do all this? be general, of course, no need to be detailed, i'm just curious. i got lucky, first, with a shitcoin/nostr gig for 18 months and now part of one of the most important nostr marketplace projects (and one of the first). very grateful for that, and also for having become part of two other projects that are using my skills and relay.
i guess i'm asking, actually, to understand better so i can apply my brain to maybe spotting an opportunity that you haven't yet
i would name-drop on all of the above but some of the people have continued to be hostile to me since this all started and others deserve privacy

It’s tough when the funding side doesn't see the vision yet, but please know the tech value is definitely felt by those of us building here. Don’t give up on the 'one click' dream—the ecosystem needs that UX.
