Does it route the request from a third party service or completely stand-alone? I’m not very familiar with how this works so it is not obvious for me how does it work.
If you don’t know enough to even get started setting up a relay I have you covered as well:
checkout 
and read the server sections:
- Get a Server
- Get a Domain Name
- Remote Access
Introduction - Relay Runner
None
it requests to pull down the relaywiz binary from here: 
You can clone the repo yourself and compile the code if you’d like to with `go build`

If a person started a personal relay, in assuming it's limited by npub so other than the server provider/owner it's secure in terms of the data it's storing?
And do old notes propagate to it or just new ones?
finally 😂
But my problem is actually that there's no instructions for how to use relays. I got the strfry server running and have no idea what to do with it. The process just sits there, staring at me.
Couldn't figure out how to connect it to my website, how to query it or add it to my client, nothing.
Yeah I agree. We keep hearing how dumb and easy relays are but have almost none detailed instructions about them on how to operate a relay.
Someone should write a "nostr relays for dummies" book

I had Citrine working with Nostrudel.
I guess I need to run Nostrudel on the remote server, too, then?
Okay, let me add that to the wiki...
Yeah, that's the only combo I've got working, so far.
Is your problem the networking aspect? Like setting up nginx or a domain name?
Everything, just everything. Give me a chance to get some subheadings into the wiki I started and fill in what I know, and then you'll see the gigantic knowledge gap.
sure no problem, also I had trouble decrypting your DM, not sure what the issue is there, but hopefully I can help fill in some gaps.
I didn't DM you. It's a Damus bug.
@jb55 I get this multiple times per day, now. It must be EVERYWHERE. 😂🙈
great contribution, Christian.
this I call ”onboarding folks”
every moderately committed newbie should be able to set up a relay, thx to contribs in kind + helping hands at standby
great space to see this happen
