Thank you to the peeps that DM'd me to let me know my LNURL was having issues.
Adding zap server container to nostpy-relay stack and connected to my node at home
Self-hosted zapping is back on the menu, we are so back...
Are you a relay developer going to @Nostriga and interested in instrumenting your code with OpenTelemetry but haven't gotten around to it or don't know where to start? Looking for some other projects to get involved with and I'd love to chat.
I've been experimenting with relay administration using notes sent from a GUI client, specifically leveraging my own kind 42021 note (note spec to follow). I’ve developed a basic proof of concept that allows Nostr relay operators (or other implementations if they eventually support this kind) to:
- Ban or allow pubkeys and kinds from posting to your relay.
- Delete stored events from a specific pubkey.
-View the allow list for pubkeys and kinds.
All of this can be done without the need to SSH into the server or store private keys on your relay or computer. This is just a test case—there are already operators managing relays through notes, but there isn’t a standard relay admin API yet. There’s also ongoing discussion about whether this approach is the right one or if relay operators should instead use a web client for management.
I welcome any feedback or criticism of this approach and greatly appreciate anyone willing to test it out!
