Getting closer on the Haven relay.
Ah ok, I didn’t check that. Seems obvious now that you mention it 😆
Another question if you don’t mind. I’m now able to get some clients to connect to my Haven instance. When I post a note, the Portainer logs show that Haven fails to connect to three relays listed in the import file. I removed them from the import file, and restarted the stack/container, but it still tries to connect to them. How do I update things so it stops attempting to connect to those relays?
Last test (for a while).
More testing.
Confirmed I can connect to my instance of Haven with Damus over Tailscale.
It appears that nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 (and possibly Amethyst) is the only client that connects directly to a relay and therefore can work using #tailscale to connect.
Just confirming.
Testing relay once again.
Well, at least this solves the problem! 🤣 Seriously now, hosting your own Nostr client isn't a bad idea. I honestly don't know the specifics of how noStrudel writes events to relays (this is a good question for nostr:nprofile1qqszv6q4uryjzr06xfxxew34wwc5hmjfmfpqn229d72gfegsdn2q3fgpzfmhxue69uhkummnw3e82efwvdhk6tcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszythwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn99urf278z). Assuming it's just opening a WebSocket directly from the browser, it should work fine. If it's doing anything more complex (i.e. some sort of backend, proxy, etc.), then the nostrudel.ninja/ version won't have access to your relay, while your local client will as it's on the same network. I know for sure that nostrudel.ninja can read from local relays, as shown in my screenshot above. I had a strong impression that the hosted version would also be able to write to local relays, but given your observation, I might be wrong.
This is interesting. Umbrel has their own pre-packaged relay in their store. In the description:
"Step 1. Connect your Nostr client (e.g., Damus, Amethyst) to your private relay for seamless backup of all Nostr activity. In Damus, add your Relay URL via Menu > Relays.
Tip: Install Tailscale on your Umbrel and your devices for an uninterrupted connection between your clients and your relay, even when you're away from your home network. Enable Tailscale's MagicDNS and use ws://umbrel:4848 as your Relay URL."
This makes me think at least Damus and Amethyst should work, if not others. Which also makes me think perhaps an issue with Portainter, not Tailscale.
...
Sometimes I just don’t feel like zapping, but want to express something. It’s nice to have that choice.
One more.
There is stuff above "Time"
Does this apply to other relays?
I don't see anything in the Time column. Should that show something only when I post a note?
Yeah Umbrel is not very flexible or customizable, but it's simple, plug and play (I appreciate simplicity more and more the older I get). Portainer is by far the most complex thing I've done on Umbrel. My Linux days were long ago and I'm revisiting them (other than Umbrel I'm running Linux on an old iMac) but I don't want something that needs constant maintenance and troubleshooting. Umbrel has been running solid for me with little to do keeping it going. I do appreciate all your help, this has been educational for me, thank you.

In my mind, all clients should send data directly from device to relays without anything in between, but hey, I’m not a dev. And not convinced perhaps there isn’t some setting in Portainer blocking the connection. Yeah it is kinda cool though to use my own hosted client and relay in my (relatively) secure Tailnet. However noStrudel is not my preferred day to day client (that and Snort, which I may try, are the only prepackaged ones on Umbrel).
Please excuse the noise.
Good to know.

Issue with Haven
I might be the only person doing this, running a Haven docker image in Portainer on Umbrel OS connecting via Tailscale.
Haven is running, I can connect remotely from devices with a web browser, Nostr client shows relay connected, but…
notes are not sent to it.
I created a GitHub issue (hopefully the right thing to do), more details there.

Because as soon as military intelligence and/or the CIA doesn’t like it, it’s game over for them. At least that’s my take.

If I understand, my Alby Hub on LND cannot be backed up with Pro? How do you self-host Alby Hub on LDK?
And if we already have a custom Lightning address, that will remain?
