#introductions

https://github.com/haorendashu/cfrelay

The last version #nostrmo had add NIP-96 support too.

You can find more -precise- information about Blossom on the Nostr article published today by [hzrd149](nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr), the developper behind it:

You find the Blossom github repo here:

GitHub - hzrd149/blossom: Blobs stored simply on mediaservers

[https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom](https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom)

### Meet Blobs

Blobs are files with SHA256 hashes as IDs, making them unique and secure. You can compute these IDs from the files themselves using the sha256 hashing algorithm (when you run `sha256sum bitcoin.pdf`).

### Meet Drives

Drives are like organized events on Nostr, mapping blobs to filenames and extra info. It's like setting up a roadmap for your data.

### How do Servers Work?

Blossom servers have four endpoints for users to upload and handle blobs:

```

GET /: Get blobs by their SHA256 hash, maybe with a file extension.

PUT /upload: Chuck your blobs onto the server, verified with signed Nostr events.

GET /list/: Peek at a list of blobs tied to a specific public key for smooth management.

DELETE /: Trash blobs from the server when needed, keeping things tidy.

```

Yon can find detailed information about the Blossom Server Implementation here..

[https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom/blob/master/Server.md](https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom/blob/master/Server.md)

..and the Blossom-server source code is here:

[https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom-server](https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom-server)

### What's Blossom Drive?

Think of Blossom Drive as the "Front-End" (or a public cloud drive) of Blossom servers, letting you upload, manage, share your files/folders blobs.

Source code is available here:

[https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom-drive](https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom-drive)

### Developpers

If you want to add Blossom into your Nostr client/app, the blossom-client-sdk explaining how it works (with few examples 🙏) is published here:

[https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom-client-sdk](https://github.com/hzrd149/blossom-client-sdk)

### How to self-host Blossom server & Blossom Drive

We'll use docker compose to setup Blossom server & drive. I included Nginx Proxy Manager because it's the Web Proxy I use for all the Fractalized self-hosted services :

Create a new docker-compose file:

```

~$ nano docker-compose.yml

```

Insert this content into the file:

```

version: '3.8'

services:

blossom-drive:

container_name: blossom-drive

image: pastagringo/blossom-drive-docker

# ports:

# - '80:80'

blossom-server:

container_name: blossom-server

image: 'ghcr.io/hzrd149/blossom-server:master'

# ports:

# - '3000:3000'

volumes:

- './blossom-server/config.yml:/app/config.yml'

- 'blossom_data:/app/data'

nginxproxymanager:

container_name: nginxproxymanager

image: 'jc21/nginx-proxy-manager:latest'

restart: unless-stopped

ports:

- '80:80'

- '81:81'

- '443:443'

volumes:

- ./nginxproxymanager/data:/data

- ./nginxproxymanager/letsencrypt:/etc/letsencrypt

- ./nginxproxymanager/_hsts_map.conf:/app/templates/_hsts_map.conf

volumes:

blossom_data:

```

You now need to personalize the blossom-server config.yml:

```bash

~$ mkdir blossom-server

~$ nano blossom-server/config.yml

```

Insert this content to the file (CTRL+X & Y to save/exit):

```yaml

# Used when listing blobs

publicDomain: https://blossom.fractalized.net

databasePath: data/sqlite.db

# find files by querying nostr relays

# If this is set the server will redirect clients when loading blobs

# publicURL: https://s3.region.example.com/

# rules are checked in descending order. if a blob matches a rule it is kept

# "type" (required) the type of the blob, "*" can be used to match any type

# "expiration" (required) time passed since last accessed

# "pubkeys" (optional) a list of owners

# any blobs not matching the rules will be removed

rules:

# mime type of blob

- type: text/*

# time since last accessed

expiration: 1 month

- type: "image/*"

expiration: 1 week

- type: "video/*"

expiration: 5 days

- type: "model/*"

expiration: 1 week

- type: "*"

expiration: 2 days

upload:

# enable / disable uploads

# require auth to upload

requireAuth: true

# only check rules that include "pubkeys"

requirePubkeyInRule: false

list:

requireAuth: false

allowListOthers: true

tor:

enabled: false

proxy: ""

```

You need to update few values with your own:

- Your own Blossom server public domain :

```

publicDomain: https://YourBlossomServer.YourDomain.tld

```

and upstream domains where Nostr clients will also verify if the Blossom server own the file blob: :

```

upstream:

enabled: true

domains:

- https://cdn.satellite.earth # don't set your blossom server here!

```

- The Nostr relays where you want to publish your Blossom events (I added my own Nostr relay):

```yaml

discovery:

# find files by querying nostr relays

nostr:

enabled: true

relays:

- wss://nostrue.com

- wss://relay.damus.io

- wss://nostr.wine

- wss://nos.lol

- wss://nostr-pub.wellorder.net

- wss://nostr.fractalized.net

```

Everything is setup! You can now compose your docker-compose file:

```

~$ docker compose up -d

```

I will let your check [this article](https://fractalized.net/how-to-manage-your-domain-with-self-hosted-nginx-proxy-manager/) to know how to configure and use Nginx Proxy Manager.

You can check both Blossom containers logs with this command:

```

~$ docker compose logs -f blossom-drive blossom-server

```

Regarding the Nginx Proxy Manager settings for Blossom, here is the configuration I used:

![]()

PS: it seems the naming convention for the kind of web service like Blossom is named "CDN" (for: "content delivery network"). It's not impossible in a near future I rename my subdomain blossom.fractalized.net to cdn.blossom.fractalized.net and blossom-drive.fractalized.net to blossom.fractalized.net 😅

Do what you prefer!

After having configured everything, you can now access Blossom server by going to your Blossom server subdomain. You should see a homepage as below:

![]()

Same thing for the Blossom Drive, you should see this homepage:

![]()

You can now login with your prefered method. In my case, I login on Blossom Drive with my [NIP-07 Chrome extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/alkiaengfedemppafkallgifcmkldohe?ref=fractalized.net).

![]()

You now need to go the "Servers" tab to add some Blossom servers, including the fresh one you just installed.

![]()

You can now create your first Blossom Drive by clicking on "+ New" > "Drive" on the top left button:

![]()

Fill your desired blossom drive name and select the media servers where you want to host your files and click on "Create":

PS: you can enable "Encrypted" option but as [hzrd149](nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr) said on his [Nostr note](nostr:naddr1qqxkymr0wdek7mfdv3exjan9qgszv6q4uryjzr06xfxxew34wwc5hmjfmfpqn229d72gfegsdn2q3fgrqsqqqa28e4v8zy) about Blossom:

> "There is also the option to encrypt drives using [NIP-49](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/49.md?ref=fractalized.net) password encryption. although its not tested at all so don't trust it, verify"

![]()

You are now able to upload some files (a picture for instance):

![]()

And obtain the HTTP direct link by clicking on the "Copy Link" button:

![]()

If you check URL image below, you'll see that it is served by Blossom:

![]()

It's done ! ✅

You can now upload your files to Blossom accross several Blossom servers to let them survive the future internet apocalypse.

Blossom has just been released few days ago, many news and features will come!

Don't hesisate to follow [hzrd149](nostr:npub1ye5ptcxfyyxl5vjvdjar2ua3f0hynkjzpx552mu5snj3qmx5pzjscpknpr) on Nostr to follow-up the future updates ⚡🔥

_See you soon in another Fractalized story!_
