A nostr relay bouncer.
## What is this?
**Bostr** is a multi nostr relay **proxy** that were serving as a nostr relay.

## Why?
Nostr relays is a bunch of dummy servers that store user events. Normally nostr clients usually connects to more than 5-10 relays to receive and transmit events.

When configuring reverse proxy, Ensure that `x-forwarded-proto` header was set as `https`.
## Environment Variable
- `CLUSTERS` - Run Bostr with specified numbers of clusters.
- `LOG_ABOUT_RELAYS` - Whenever to log about relay connections
## Docker
### Quick Run
### Docker
```
git clone https://github.com/Yonle/bostr
cd bostr
cp config.js.example config.js
```
You will then need to edit `config.js` before running the bouncer.
#### Running
```
docker build -t bostr:local .
docker run --rm --name bostr -p 8080:8080 -v ./config.js:/usr/src/app/config.js bostr:local
```
**Note:** You will need to edit `config.js` before running the bouncer.
## Environment Variables
You could specify the following environment variables to override the current settings:
- `CLUSTERS` - Run Bostr with specified numbers of clusters.
- `LOG_ABOUT_RELAYS` - Whenever to log about relay connections.
