How to Setup a Nostr Relay using Umbrel

I show you how to setup a Nostr relay using Umbrel. With this tutorial you should be able to back up all your future Nostr messages onto a relay that you own.

Umbrel is a Linux based OS that you can run on a Raspberry Pi as a Bitcoin Full Node or a home server that we’ve covered previously on the channel to interact with the lightning network and learn more about Bitcoin.
