What are the requirements in terms of hardware and bandwidth?
Running both ๐ซฃ๐ฌ
It depends on what kind of relay you want to run. Public? Private? Personal? Etc.
You can run a private one on your phone or on a Raspberry Pi.
Haha. It's private though ๐. But I'm working on it.
What is private vs personal?
That's fine!
Private meaning only certain people can use it, maybe it's paid, maybe it's for your family, maybe it's for your community group. This could be something like nostr.wine or a WoT relay or something much smaller.
Personal would be just for you, essentially s backup of all of your events and more. This would be something like a #Haven relay.
run for your lives
How much space does a relay take up in a computer? And what data is stored? I mean, if I run a public relay, will I end up with stuff like porn and similar junk?
I guess it's personal since I'm the only one to use it. I'd run a full relay but honestly I don't know the implications of "c" p content nor do I know how to protect against it.
I run 2 bitcoin nodes so I should do a nostr node also
Check out Haven from @Bitvora Inc. It's what I run for my personal relay.
Sure!
Never knew, thought it would require quiet a lot of bandwidth and storage. Will look into this!
my haven relay runs on an old laptop at home :P
I'll check it out right now I run my BTC node and nostr relay in the same start9 box I made out of a thin client optiplex. Simple enough for a dummy like me.
Run a marathon.
Oh sorry, wrong thread.
