What if:
1. Email was just nostr notes (whenever they figure out the best practice for DMs) wrapped in a cross-platform app that converted it all to work with the legacy email system.
2. All online non-text (email attachments, images, web banners, etc) is stored on blossom in one giant pool of data and just referenced by key.
3. Website html is hosted on nostr
4. Decentralized DNS is figured out
So let’s look at the docker-compose.yml file.
There are 3 sections:
Version, services, and volumes.
Version is 3.8. I’ll leave that until I see something different.
In Services, the guide installs nginxproxymanager, but I already have that running, so I’ll skip that.
In that section there’s also blossom-drive and blossom-server.
I will be installing blossom-drive, and for this section it looks like I just need to switch the ports from 80:80 to something else, like 2080:80, since port 80 on the server is already used.
Under blossom-server I’ll change ports from 3000:3000 to 3200:3000 since 3000 is also used on the server.
For volumes, I think this maps server volumes from:to volumes inside the docker.
There are two volumes mapped in the guide:
1. './blossom-server/config.yml:/app/config.yml'
2. 'blossom_data:/app/data'
Both are mapped to the “app” directory inside the docker, so I think both should be /mnt/user/appdata in my setup.
In that case, I should create config.yml in the appdata/blossom directory.
But “blossom_data” sounds like the actual images/files maybe? If so I don’t want them in appdata. So I’ll need to look into that.
First I should get the docker running, save an image and see where it puts things, then I can make changes and run it again.
Last section in the docker-compose is Volumes.
This says: blossom_data:
Which doesn’t seem to map this to anything inside the docker. Not sure what to do here.
#grownostr #blossom #asknostr
The guide I’m using installs via docker, which Unraid has, so that’s a good start.
My entire docker experience has been installing by the community apps on unraid using the “install” button.
Manually installing a docker not customized for unraid will be different.
I am able to ssh into the server with root access. I created a “blossom” share with the same settings as my Nextcloud share. Storage is “array” so there’s no “mover” action, and I have a little over 10tb free.
I created /mnt/user/appdata/blossom for the config files.
First I have to figure out where to create the docker-compose file.
My first guess for the location is the blossom share. Appdata may be better, but who knows. I searched for where unraid puts the config files, and I think it was /mnt/user/admin but I read that was overwritten on reboot.
#asknostr #blossom #grownostr
The blossom server will be installed on a NAS running Unraid 6.2.18.
I will be following this guide:
I will be installing a blossom server and documenting my steps in this thread.

May give https://www.bunsenlabs.org a try, I haven't tested it in a while.
Loved crunch bang! Is it still around?
FTX redux?
Introducing Boardwalk Cash - the first dollar-based Cashu wallet built on top of #bitcoin and connected to #nostr.
We now have stablecash on bitcoin - completely interoperable with the lightning network.
Share your lightning address or invoice to receive dollars. Paste a lightning address or invoice to send dollars.
Boardwalk Cash connects to any nostr client via NWC. Zap dollars on nostr apps like nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg or on Discord with our Zap Bot.
This is a very early product and there are not many public mints, so use at your own risk. Yet, we’re excited to show some of what ecash and nostr can offer for advancing #bitcoin payments.
This sounds like a private, cheap way to short Bitcoin

Hal making the case for nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg and cashu 30 years ago.
So I didn’t do any of those things above “find bitcoin.”
How can I become an “open source contributor “ for cashu if I can’t code?
PSA you have a lightning address for ecash, whether you like it or not (by nostr:npub1mhcr4j594hsrnen594d7700n2t03n8gdx83zhxzculk6sh9nhwlq7uc226)
npub.cash
That’s the value prop of Nostr. Create an app and instantly have user base and network.
well at least it wasn't derailed by a solar storm this weekend
What about *all* apps and websites? Nostr is the discussion board about/on websites.
What’s the utopian end state?
In researching Chaumian eCash and cashu, I came across this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwMzNE1D3so&list=WL&index=2&t=3990s
wherein, he references this blog post, which is a great read.
At the end, he kinda suggests tying ecash to bitcoin, and this blog post is from 2012.
