Nostr Web Client

#asknostr Relays, clients, etc where are they being hosted? Aws, Google, etc?

As a user I understand the decentralized strategy through relays and divers clients options.

But as developers (which I am not) , where are they storing their app codes and where are the relays storing the data. For the most part, as I assuming most big relays and clients are not using home servers.

So if I want to deploy let's say a Haven relay, not from my home network, what cloud provider, would you recommend me?

Hope there is logic in my questio. If not I welcome wisdom.

I'm hosted my [nostr-rs-relay] nostr.4rs.nl at netcup.com.

Relays don't have much data, it's only store json events, the media are stored in different servers called media servers, then you only attach the URL of your media in your note under `imeta` tag, you can learn more from [nip-92].

For example this is your GM note tags

```json

{

"tags": [

[

"imeta",

"url ",

"m image/jpeg",

"ox 32db714ca53dd9e31021def06a4c5a55d6620bc1167ab1ba0e8b5844d269fdb4",

"dim 4080x2296"

]

}

```

As you can see your image hosted in #primal mediaserver, the clients will take care of you, you only click on "Add image" button. btw, you can specify to your client what media server to use, I don't know if #primal support that or not, but it's exist.

Some clients does not render markdown, I don't know why. Anyway, #Amethyst render it correctly.

Hey Thanks!

So for example, the relay of Bitvora Haven by nostr:npub1utx00neqgqln72j22kej3ux7803c2k986henvvha4thuwfkper4s7r50e8, it includes a Blossom Server for media. In this case, or in the case that you have a dedicated media server separate from the relay, the storage capacity will increase drastically right? Of course, depending on how much media you have.

And I just check netcup, looks interesting for sure! thanks!

Yes, but this is not #Nostr job, the relays doesn't receive or send any kind of media, it's only receive and send json events.

So HAVEN is not only a nostr relay, it's a nostr relay + mideaserver, because as I said, dealing with the media is not a #Nostr job.
