 Or you can do it in 2 lines ;-) :


pip install nostr-relay   
nostr-relay serve 

 Nice!  Although I got:

> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'sqlalchemy.ext.asyncio' 

 OK worked on ubuntu 22.04, not ubuntu 20.04, I probably had an old pip 

 Now the problem is: "ERROR r2d2: unable to open database file: /usr/src/app/db/nostr.db" 

 Sounds like the container can't write to your data folder on the host. 

 Directions on https://sr.ht/~gheartsfield/nostr-rs-relay/ demonstrate how to make a mounted directory writeable w/ podman. 

 Or you can YOLO it and try "chmod 777 data". 

 It works. TY! 

 Awesome! 

 Locally works fine using noscl. Now tring make it works over internet...
 

 It´s working now locally. One more thing...how connect from internet to my relay? 

 Make sure your pwd (present working directory) is where you want the data folder to be on your host system sounds like you didn’t have permissions 

 Changed permissions and... Works! TY!
