Nostr Relay
Backup all your Nostr activity with your private relay
Introducing Nostr Relay — an official app by Umbrel. Step 1. Connect your Nostr client (e.g., Damus, Amethyst) to your private relay for seamless backup of all Nostr activity. In Damus, add your Relay URL via Menu > Relays. Tip: Install Tailscale on your Umbrel and your devices for an uninterrupted connection between your clients and your relay, even when you're away from your home network. Enable Tailscale's MagicDNS and use ws://umbrel:4848 as your Relay URL. Step 2. Tap the globe icon on the top to back up past Nostr activity from your public relays and ensure uninterrupted future backups, .
