My friend, if this thing works and truly simplifies running a full-featured personal relay+Blossom server... It will revolutionize how a large number of people use Nostr.
Most people will only really need to connect to 2 relays: 1. Their personal Haven relay, and 2. their personal WoT relay that pulls in their follows' notes from their outbox relays. To round things out, they could connect to an aggregator relay that does some spam mitigation, like nostr.land.
how u activatee the ui? .env is enough?
This will require docker or podman to run since the idea is to be able to run this on Umbrel. One container runs a lightweight frontend that let's you edit .env and and the two relay json files.
The whole idea is to make this as easy to run on an Umbrel as possible. Messing around editing .env files is a major point of friction for most non-technical folks.
A GUI for configuring the .env files goes a long way to making running a personal relay more approachable. Making it a one-click install from an Umbrel community app store goes even farther.
Then the relay can be exposed via Tor, Tailscale, or a reverse proxy, depending on the individual's preference.
