Well luckily we live there, because we aren’t living on his platform anymore.
Here is a good guide / dockerised version by #[1]

If I had the capabilities (I don’t) - all that would need to be done from here would be to put a GUI on-top of it and it would be ready for something like Umbrel.
Would be cool to have the ability to easily input whitelisted/admin npubs, relays you want to query and buttons to adjust the various settings.
This way you could easily run a public or private relay over VPS with little to no technical background.
It is one of the pieces of software that relays run….in essence it is the relay software. There are a number of them.

Looks like strfry has a good bit of what I am looking for. Now all I have to do is figure it all out.
This one way to fund a dying company. I’m going to bet that Elon loaded up on a nice fat stack of shitcoin in anticipation.
It is up 35% because of this garbage. This will do more harm to people than it does good and give the government yet another reason to attack.
The whole thing is just sad. Almost like Elon wants people to be pushed over to #Nostr.
Twitter fell apart so fast, the only thing holding it together is network effects but in time that will go too.
I am nowhere near smart enough to understand the implications fully, but if it was simple enough to deploy (think umbrel) people would be uncle jimming their relays like mad.
I just setup a normal relay, and it is honestly a bit useless because a lot of the info is already centralized to a handful of popular relays.
Need some help with a #NOSTR relay idea. Let me start at the end goal, and work back from there. Hoping this exists already and I am just unaware…seems very close to filter.nostr.wine
End Goal:
- Have the ability to connect to a single (private / invite only) relay without losing reach or visibility.
Relay Requirements:
- Self-Hosted / VPS
- Ability to curate list of relays to aggregate to/from
- Ability to share access to the relay by adding npub’s (Uncle Jim)
- Spam Filtered
I could see something like this making its way to the Umbrel App Store (for those running it on legit linux servers) to make it dead simple. Then just adding people to a Tailscale network to access it, but I would like something that would also work well with a VPS for uptime and easy backups etc.
Just want to provide this relay for friends and family giving them an optimal experience without all the tinkering of relays.

My nostream public relay is up: wss://relay.hodl.haus
Hosted @ DigitalOcean (New York) with decent specs. Will evolve as I learn - please feel free to offer improvement suggestions. Currently running the standard setup.
I am also launching a wiki ( https://hodl.haus ) to begin building a resource for the #NOSTR / #Bitcoin / #LightningNetwork communities. I am finding it very difficult to find answers / guides on #NOSTR related projects and would like to change that for others in the future.
Please share this note & follow me for future updates.

Miley has pipes. Say what you will about her music or her personality, but the pipes are undeniable!
#Bitcoin is digital energy that will power everything. All you have to do is tap into it. That’s it’s killer app.
#Nostr is a blazing signal of this shifting paradigm.
As with #Bitcoin, those who adopt #Nostr early will disproportionately benefit.
This is just the beginning. Flint striking steel over a bed of kindling.
The more I use #NOSTR, the more I come to dislike Twitter.
Sort of feels like going into a city when you’ve been living in the woods.
This may be really stupid, but I cannot figure out how to get the SVGs from that repo.
