Goals

• Easy to deploy: anyone's Uncle Jim with any sliver of IT knowledge should be able to deploy a relay.
• Easy to moderate: blocking IPs, whitelisting pubkeys, setting up specific moderation rules, all should be achievable without code knowledge.
• Community driven: nostr's main usecase is as a global townsquare but it can also be used to create small communities. tandem's main goal is to serve the latter usecase.

Usage

Prerequisites

• edgedb

Installation

Define a configuration file:

[http]
host=localhost # env var: HTTP_HOST
port=5150 # env var: HTTP_PORT

[log]
level=info # env var: LOG_LEVEL, one of debug|info|error, default: info
log_file_path=/path/to/file.log # env var: LOG_FILE_PATH, optional 

[storage]
uri="edgedb://edgedb:<password>@localhost:10701/main" # env var: STORAGE_URI, replace with your edgedb credentials, one of edgedb|memory
skip_tls_verify=true # env var: STORAGE_SKIP_TLS_VERIFY, default: false

Run:

$ tandem -config <path_to_toml_file>

Tests

with edgedb

$ STORAGE_URI=<your_uri> go test -v -tags=storage,edgedb ./...

with memorydb

$ STORAGE_URI="memory://" go test -v -tags=storage,memory ./...

without storage

$ go test -v ./...
