About strfry
strfry is a relay for Nostr, the decentralised social protocol in which clients publish signed events to relays and read them back. Running your own relay lets a community, a group of friends or a single person keep a copy of their posts on infrastructure they control.
It supports most of the applicable NIPs, including 1, 2, 4, 9, 11, 28, 40, 42, 45, 70 and 77. The repository includes Dockerfiles for Ubuntu and Arch, a sample docker-compose file, Debian packaging files and a single strfry.conf configuration file.
