GRAIN 🌾 WIP
Go Relay Archetecture for Implementing Nostr
GRAIN is an open-source Nostr relay implementation written in Go. This project aims to provide a robust and efficient Nostr relay that supports the NIP-01 protocol, focusing on processing user metadata and text notes.
Features
- NIP-01 Protocol Support: GRAIN fully supports the NIP-01 protocol for WebSocket communication.
- Event Processing: Handles events of kind 0 (user metadata) and kind 1 (text note).
- MongoDB 🍃: Utilizes MongoDB to store and manage events efficiently.
- Scalability: Built with Go, ensuring high performance and scalability.
- Open Source: Licensed under the MIT License, making it free to use and modify.
Installation
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/oceanslim/grain.git cd grain
-
Build the executable:
go build -o grain.exe
The
grain.exe
will be placed in a temporary directory within...\appdata\local\temp\go-build
and subdirectories.
Usage
To run the GRAIN relay:
./grain.exe
Configuration 🍃
Configuration options can be set through environment variables or a configuration file. Example configuration:
server:
port: 8080
database:
type: mongodb
connection_string: mongodb://localhost:27017
database_name: grain
logging:
level: info
WebSocket Endpoints
- Connect: / - Clients can connect to this endpoint to start a WebSocket session.
- Publish Event: Send events of kind 0 (user metadata) or kind 1 (text note) to the relay.
