Top! Test itβ¦ π
Hmmm this is interesting.
A relay is different than a NOSTR node or they are the same just different terminology?
And when we say βrun a small relayβ is this more for private communities letβs say?
For example how small is βsmallβ, is it number of follower or following based?
Always good to have free hosting options π
I see you have integrated bouquet. How you make any changes yet? I'm currently working on a big update.
Cool! Canβt wait to have a minute to try to set it up ππ
Same thing, different terminology I think.
This is definitely for smaller, private (or public) communities and groups on nostr.
Small depends on how much data and bandwidth your team uses. If it's under 5gb of data between you all then thats alot of memes and content to host for $0 - as well as the relay. I think total cost would be the price of the domain as you could spin these up almost indefinitely afaik. And you don't have to pay for a domain either π
Hi Florian! π I think there might have been some minor styling css changes but no major functional changes. Would be great to get your updates merged in, I love using bouquet to sync all my media, its fantastic, and I'm sure others would too π
Do you think it would be suitable for Nostr music hosting?
I actually don't understand what Nostr music is yet, or how it is different to podcast2.0. I'm just testing with self hosting the content now.
Don't see why not. If you're just dumping mp3's there it should work I'm guessing.
Podcasting2.0 and Wavlake and Fountain is another thing, but I'm sure such interoperability could become a thing with the right peeps working on it
Thanks I'll continue my learning and discovery process!
Yes. if you read through

Nostr Relay Setup
Deploy Your Nostr Relay - $0/month Forever
Deploy your own Nostr relay for $0/month forever.
carefully - scroll through ENTIRE page and Really read it - you will see a S3 option and you can use tigris for it, very cheap to host up to 100GB of media, NO Egress fees
These step by step instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Well done.
So easy even I can do it. β
So how many of us clicked some buttons on built relays today?
View quoted note β
this is indeed a good UI tool for non-tech users - please dnot say its FREE
will checkout later script - i think it may be better to have web ui for admin (surely better some than cli made scripts)
those who r new relay+blossom = notes + pic both can stored.
many people are renting containers for other works - they can USE underutilized cpu n ssd space for above (i prefer not call it free tough)
I mean, I paid for mine. It was $2.
There is a free tier up to $5 of usage. You have to read the options carefully.
I still haven't paid anything for it and am running 4 services currently on zeabur. Its not "production" but it definitely works and has been working over the last week.
Fair enough.
I do cringe at people who say $2 is too expensive, tho
What can I buy with $2 anymore? A relay π
Yup Its also about addressing what is the real issue here. If you don't want zeabur you can manually deploy on other VPS....your own server if you even want but this does take work. And its too difficult for the non-technical person.
The point here is getting NON-Technical people started on this with as little friction as possible, so do the $0 Tier which still exists afaik, TRY IT OUT and see if it works for you and you will see how easy it is.
Its a no brainer. And with the Zero Cost option, you have absolutely Nothing to lose, only Experience to gain.
Its a Win-win
A Snickers bar? Maybe?
π
fact is people WASTE or UNDER UTILIZE already rented hosts containers - not free - but FREE for some
main thing how to deploy n backup DB only of relay - then whole thing nearly free for people renting already for other pupose
I am def not eating that π
the future is TenCent π
But why they gotta call it TenCent when I pay TwoBucks? π€ π€£
Good point! π
I'll be eventually it will be 0.10 π... the Tigris is already doing 0.10 for 10GB π
tencent's revenue is bigger than amazon AWS of bezos
