 How much technical expertise is required to run my own relay? I’ve no experience with running my own server. I looked into Plex a few years ago but decided it wasn’t worth figuring out. 

I’d like to run my own relay this year and experiment with it but I remember last year @preston saying on a podcast that he was giving up trying to run his own relay. That makes me think it’s pretty difficult. 




Do you know of any guides or videos?

 Products like Start9 have built in apps for that,  which makes it easier. You can use Start9's program for free on your own system. 
 For the self hosting curious with little technical experience...i recommend @Start9

Running a relay at the click of a button that you can experiment with is one of the things you can do with Start9 OS.   
 Awesome. Thanks for taking the time to respond! 
 Do you have hardware to run it from? Spare laptop/desktop? 
 I use a mini pc i bought refurbished to run mine. 16 gb ram and 2tb SSD will set you up good ( more in either the better ofc long term ). 
 should be good for 5 yeeers i reckn 
 I conveniently have some for sale if he doesn’t 😇
