This is a nostr relay, written in Rust. It currently supports the entire relay protocol, and has a SQLite persistence layer.
The project master repository is available on sourcehut, and is mirrored on GitHub.
NIPs with a relay-specific implementation are listed here.
- NIP-01: Basic protocol flow description
- Core event model
- Hide old metadata events
- Id/Author prefix search
- NIP-02: Contact List and Petnames
- NIP-03: OpenTimestamps Attestations for Events
- NIP-05: Mapping Nostr keys to DNS-based internet identifiers
- NIP-09: Event Deletion
- NIP-11: Relay Information Document
- NIP-12: Generic Tag Queries
- NIP-15: End of Stored Events Notice
- NIP-16: Event Treatment
- NIP-22: Event
created_at
limits (future-dated events only) - NIP-26: Event Delegation
The provided Dockerfile
will compile and build the server
application. Use a bind mount to store the SQLite database outside of
the container image, and map the container's 8080 port to a host port
(7000 in the example below).
$ docker build -t nostr-rs-relay .
$ docker run -it -p 7000:8080 \
--mount src=$(pwd)/data,target=/usr/src/app/db,type=bind nostr-rs-relay
[2021-12-31T19:58:31Z INFO nostr_rs_relay] listening on: 0.0.0.0:8080
[2021-12-31T19:58:31Z INFO nostr_rs_relay::db] opened database "/usr/src/app/db/nostr.db" for writing
[2021-12-31T19:58:31Z INFO nostr_rs_relay::db] DB version = 2
Use a nostr
client such as
noscl
to publish and query
events.
$ noscl publish "hello world"
Sent to 'ws://localhost:8090'.
Seen it on 'ws://localhost:8090'.
$ noscl home
Text Note [81cf...2652] from 296a...9b92 5 seconds ago
hello world
A pre-built container is also available on DockerHub: https://hub.docker.com/r/scsibug/nostr-rs-relay
The sample config.toml
file demonstrates the
configuration available to the relay. This file is optional, but may
be mounted into a docker container like so:
$ docker run -it -p 7000:8080 \
--mount src=$(pwd)/config.toml,target=/usr/src/app/config.toml,type=bind \
--mount src=$(pwd)/data,target=/usr/src/app/db,type=bind \
nostr-rs-relay
Options include rate-limiting, event size limits, and network address settings.
For examples of putting the relay behind a reverse proxy (for TLS termination, load balancing, and other features), see Reverse Proxy.
