Nostr Gateway

The Nostr Gateway is an effort to pull Nostr data from relays around the nostrsphere into HTML pages for the consumption of the unnostrinitiated. It is built using Node.js and Docker, and is designed to be easy to deploy and run on any machine.

Usage

The Nostr Gateway provides a simple web interface for viewing Nostr data from relays around the nostrsphere. To use the interface, simply visit https://nostrexplorer.com in your web browser.

Developing with Next.js

1. yarn --ignore-engines
2. yarn run dev

Deploying

It can be deployed to these places that can run Next.js apps natively, like https://vercel.com/. When deploying on Vercel it's necessary to add the environment variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/vercel/path0/node_modules/canvas/build/Release:/var/task/node_modules/canvas/build/Release manually because of the canvas package.

Running with Docker

1. Clone the repository to your local machine using the git command line tool or a Git desktop client:
2. Navigate to the repository's root directory:

   git clone https://github.com/fiatjaf/nostr-gateway.git
   cd nostr-gateway

3. Edit relays in utils/nostr.js (optional)
4. Build the Docker image for the Nostr Gateway:

   sudo docker build -t nostr-gateway .

5. Run the Docker container for the Nostr Gateway:

   sudo docker run -p 3000:3000 -d nostr-gateway

6. Verify that the Nostr Gateway is running by visiting http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
