Big update to **npack** today. npack is a Nostr-native package manager where releases are signed by Nostr keys, discovered through relays and stored as content-addressed `.npk` packages on Blossom. The latest work adds some important pieces: • a local package catalogue with `npack refresh`, `search` and `info` • a background `npackd` service so graphical app stores and other tools can use npack without needing to understand Nostr • proper transaction progress, cancellation, rollback and recovery • separate user/system daemons with PolicyKit authorisation • AppStream metadata support for Linux software stores • Nix integration has now been tested against real npack releases v0.3.0 is being prepared now. The interesting bit for me is where this is heading: Nostr can handle software discovery and publisher identity, Blossom can handle the actual package storage, while npack provides the package management layer on top. Still early, but it is becoming a fairly complete stack.

NostrHost has moved forward quite a bit over the last few days. The biggest change is that the native app system is starting to feel real. Apps can now be discovered, installed, updated, moved, backed up and restored without leaning so heavily on the old YunoHost model. Nsites are also starting to become a proper part of the platform. They can now be discovered alongside apps in the catalogue, which makes them feel much less like a side feature and more like part of the normal hosting experience. The Nostr control side has also been pushed further, with more of the server’s identity, permissions and admin actions flowing through the same model. There have been plenty of smaller improvements too, including better catalogue handling, multi-user app support, cleaner admin settings and more work removing older YunoHost dependencies. Still early, but it is starting to feel much more like one platform now.

Core Lightning is now packaged for YunoHost and up and running.

Even better, the existing Alby Hub YunoHost package successfully connects to it. That gives us a working self-hosted stack: Bitcoin Core → Core Lightning → Alby Hub The goal is to make running your own Bitcoin + Lightning infrastructure much easier through YunoHost and the Nostr Catalog. ⚠️ **Important:** Core Lightning can hold and move real Bitcoin. This YunoHost package is new and should be considered experimental. Bugs, configuration mistakes, failed backups or loss of Lightning node state can result in loss of funds. Start with testnet where possible. If using mainnet, only use funds you can afford to lose and make sure you understand Lightning backups and recovery first. Core Lightning:
