Primal’s caching service for Nostr connects to the specified set of relays, collects all events in real time, stores them locally, and makes them available to nostr clients through a web socket-based API.
Usage
Running the caching service if you have nix package manager installed:
nix develop -c sh -c '$start_primal_caching_service'
Running the caching service if you have docker installed:
docker run -it --rm -v `pwd`:`pwd` -w `pwd` -p 8801:8801 -e PRIMALSERVER_HOST=0.0.0.0 nixos/nix nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' develop -c sh -c '$start_primal_caching_service'
Log files for fetched messages and sqlite database files will be located in var sub-directory by default.
Monitor fetching (press enter to stop monitoring):
Fetching.mon()
To safely stop the process:
Fetching.stop(); close(cache_storage); exit()
