A private nostr relay

Why

A private relay is a great way to make sure that your notes are always available.

How

The relay will only save notes from a specified privatekey, and ignore all others, but let anyone request the notes that it has saved.

The software will accept settings from a file or environmental variables, and be connected to a postgresql database (support pending).

TODO

• filter on e and p tags
• error response message when non pubkey user tries to post

Nice to have

• Friend-of-a-Friend support Save notes from more pubkeys, based on connection to main pubkey.

Config

Configuration is read from environment and .env file.

• debug_level: ERROR, WARN, INFO(default), DEBUG, TRACE
• pg_host: Postgres endpoint
• pg_pass: Postgres password
• pg_user: Postgres user
• pubkey: The pubkey of the nostr user that can post (required)
• ws_ip: IP interface to host ws on (default: 0.0.0.0)
• ws_port: Port to host ws on (default: 8080)

Note that non persistent in memory sqlite will be used unless postgres configurations is set.
