Yeah, the issue is that the running #start9 system is stored on a read-only image and the services are container images (again read-only) with the configs projected into them. So the writeable content of the server is designed to be just configs and data.

Meaning if you install executable deb packages via apt, if they install at all they will disappear upon restart.

Start9 has an application porting guide somewhere to explain how to properly package software. I will rummage around for it and report back.

Thank you. I see that a start9 VPN is targeted for a future upgrade. I am awaiting the blockchain to sync before I look more a the start9 Nostr Relay. I will tend not to expose my IP address for a Relay.

Are you running this on a Raspberry Pi? I set one up with StartOS, began syncing the Bitcoin blockchain, stuck it in a closet, and forgot about it. A month later it had not yet completed!

I'm fairly sure the reason it was so slow is that the RPI was throttling the CPU due to poor heat dissipation. So if any of that rhymes with your setup, make sure you've got it plenty of ventilation!
