**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
1. **Clone the repository**:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/oceanslim/grain.git
cd grain
```
2. **Build the executable**:
```sh
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:
```sh
./grain.exe
```
### Configuration 🍃
Configuration options can be set through environment variables or a configuration file. Example configuration:
```yml
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.
