 What's the best set of instructions for setting up a relay on a VPS? I'm not an expert with installing in console on Linux but I get by. It'd have to be clear and step-by-step. Thanks #nostriches #asknostr

 You can use this guide that was just posted the other day.

 Thanks so much for this. I tried it and am running into a different error than the chap in the video did. Going to scrap this instance and start over. I cannot install it on my machine at the house so I am trying with VPS using this. I'm using Ubuntu Server 22.04 on Cloudzy

 Did you sudo apt update before starting

 Yeah. I've been trying this all day with other sets of instructions. Making new instances each time it errored out after following directions. Lol. And now with this tutorial still running into issues. Lord have mercy.

 Strfry recommends 2gb of memory and I see you only have 1gb. You are probably getting OOM errors

sudo nano /var/log/syslog

 Ahhh.. Ok. I'll up the instance to 2 GB. Let me try that and we'll cross our fingers

 I got it set up @utxo the webmaster 🧑‍💻 !! Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction. I haven't messed with console since I was setting up miners quite a few years ago. I appreciate it

 I'm going to break my leg kicking my own ass if that 1GB was the culprit 🤣

 You can also skip all the steps and just buy one from relaying.io but otherwise you can check the tutorial
