Oddbean new post about login | logout Can I just run it on a shared hosting webserver?
Sure could. Not sure how quickly storage would be eaten up, given it’s storing notes though. 🤷♂️
If someone can help me estimate bandwidth and storage costs I could probably figure out what we’d need.
I’ve not been in the relay game, so it might take reaching out to another relay runner for those details.
@Derek Ross @YEGHRO What should we do?
Hey buddy You need a 2 core 2 gig ram VM with like 100gb of space
that much space? I think 20 or 30 would be enough to last for a few years…
I bet after one day you're already at a gig I'm gonna build something to be able to purge old reactions notes tho
143M after almost 24 hours (more like 20 hours). Maybe i have too few friends? :-D
How big is your trust network? Mine is doing 1gb per day

Hmmm my network size is 60,000 so that would explain it lol Maybe it's roughly 150mb/day/10,000 peers
So it would probably have to be a VPS. My hosting company has a 60GB and 130GB option. Starting at $15/mo on an annual plan. If anyone has a better recommendation I’ll take a look. I’m not trying to spend a ton of money right now.
I’ve got a VPS with a site on it that I haven’t looked at in a while. I think it’s minimal specs, but I’ll see what it is.
I can always redirect a subdomain to another server so if you or anyone else in the group wants to run it that’s an option.
look at Lowendbox blog or lowendtalk forums. they have some very cheap options there (like 4 dollars a month or 30 dollars a year)
Stats for the price look pretty good there, on a couple providers. The challenge is the storage is pretty low. Not sure how we’d add storage as we filled it up.
check those offers here: https://www.racknerd.com/BlackFriday/ there's one vps with 2 vCPU, 80 GB SSD, 4 GB RAM for 38.88/year.
Bandwidth seems to be very low but I haven’t measured yet (I run it at home, in my raspberry pi, and it Doesnt seem to interfere with my internet speed at all). As for space, it’s using just a few megabytes for now. I estimate it won’t go over 5GB/year For the wot Relay.
Use my WoT relay and utxo's WoT relay and paid relays.
Which WoT relay is yours? Would hosting my own with myself as the only allowed npub also help (in addition to paid relays)?
@The: Daniel⚡️ I’d say that’s what we start with. We can fire something up later, if need be?
Can we just clone one of these relays and run it under the nodestrich.com domain?
I’ve never run a wot relay before and it sounds interesting. I currently have 2 relays running. Nostream and strfry, Ive created filters to block unwanted things and have little issue with excess spam. But spammer get clever and I think I’d like to test out a WOT relay. So I’m considering just hosting one for the nodestrich community to see how it goes. An experiment if you will. Let me know what you think.
I would love it if you would and I’m sure we could get some contributions to cover the expenses.
