 There are  handful of nip98 server implementations (nostrcheck server , route96 and nostr.build) and none of them are easy to set up. None of them have compiled binary releases. (Not that I expect them to) I'm sure I could get one working worth enough tinkering but no time.  What's interesting is they are all three different language implementations. PHP/HTML, Rust and TS/NodeJS. The PHP would probably be my favorite as I don't have as many packages managers and dependencies to go find and set up but on the other hand it requires you have a webserver executing PHP (not too bad though) I'd really like to see an implementation that a normy can clone, download a simple database with little experience, and set up their own self hosted nip96 server. We still have lots of work to do to make users more capable of maintaining data sovereignty.
