image To guarantee your notes will stick around on Nostr it is essential to run your own relay. Public and even private relays aren't going to hold them forever. Setting up and running your own relay isn't that difficult, and there are options for most hardware and all skill levels. 🔹Local Options on your PC or phone. 🔻For your PC nostr-relay-tray by @Cody is a great option, available for Linux, Mac & Windows. Combined with jumble.social it gives you an all in one solution to store and view your notes on your own computer.

 🔻For Android phones use citrine, created by @greenart7c3 It integrates well with Amethyst, jumble.social and nostrudel.ninja It gives you a local backup of your notes, and can even pull notes from other relays for a more complete backup. Complex setups using Orbot can even give you more private DM messages over Tor.

 🔻iOS doesn't currently have any options available afaik. 🔹 Internet Based Options 🔻The easiest option here is relay.tools created and maintained by @cloud fodder It is a hosted option, meaning you don't need to know how to run Linux or configure and maintain the relay software. Just set it up the way you want and use it. 🔻A slightly more difficult option is Haven relay created by @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 It is a fantastic piece of relay software, combining outbox, inbox and private relays, and the ability to import old notes. It even includes a blossom server for hosting your own media files. This will require either PC hardware with Linux installed, or a Linux VPS. If you feel comfortable managing a Linux server this is the best option, but is again the most difficult one I have listed.

Thanks for the suggestions @Ryan ! I haven't run Haven relay yet but it seems from browsing the docs, its not "more difficult" but just more configuration steps, actually its pretty close to just running your own lightning node or lnbits server. should be easy for just someone who's comfortable sysadmini'ing 😉

If you can run your own node, Haven should be no problem 🫡 I've helped people with minimal Linux experience set it up on a VPS, it's doable.
