It's a mess still, my apartment will get renovated early next year, after that I'll do some proper cable management. I promise 😊 https://image.nostr.build/267562b05cc0a871ef0609671e8d37387f819751e53a3ee0539eb9b7fd19f663.jpg

Bitaxe Supra from @npub1qvw…2h4p just arrived and already mining 🔨 🔨 🔨 Next step: wrap and run public-pool.io on StartOS server and use my own pool.

Everything is done through the cloudflare dashboard (no ssh/terminal commands needed). Just install the service, fill in your token and manage everything from the CF Zero Trust dashboard. The only requirement is that you know your way around the Cloudflare dashboard. Which yea, maybe is a bit technical :)

I'm using StartOS with cloudflare zero trust tunnels. I can access all (http) services from a public domain, with SSL. Not exposing my home IP directly, and also avoid routing through TOR. Running BTCPayServer with Nostr plugin to receive zaps directly to my node. The free tiers of cloudflare also offer some basic ddos and bot protection. It has been working perfectly.

So this is SOCKS5 over JSON messages over Websockets over HTTP over TCP/IP... did I miss any layers?
Cool stuff, but I don't know how viable this will be in the long run.

const clearly states intent, it's good for longevity of the code especially with multiple maintainers. Not sure about performance, I can imagine a runtime can make some assumptions for performance if it knows it's a const.

Uptime Kuma has a 'TCP port' monitor also, which can ping port 8332/8333 of bitcoind for example.

OAuth/OIDC flows are perfect for this, no need to reinvent the wheel and OIDC support in libraries/frameworks is pretty solid these days. Which makes integrating this in apps quiet easy I suppose if you can expose OIDC compliant "nsec bunker" endpoints.

If you're going the cloudflare tunnel route, I created a startos wrapper for cloudflared, which makes setting this up very easy: https://github.com/remcoros/cloudflared-startos

It's undergoing testing by start9, I can't publish to it directly. We ran into a crashing issue, which I hope is now solved, hence the call for some beta testers :). You can sideload the .s9pk from the github release.

I might look into that as soon as they publish stable release binaries.

After a log of digging, signature verification, code debugging and reading primal server/caching source code, I'm 99% sure my "test account" used for zapping doesn't pass the "is_human" test and primal ignores them. (although they increase the stat counter, which doesn't do the is_human check).
Other zaps I miss from other people is probably the same problem, their npub does not pass the is_human check.

Both. I like thunderhub UI more (especially the tables) and the boltz integration. But I miss some detailed information on invoices/payments, so use RTL for that.

Yea, @primal is broken I guess. this is what it shows for the note: https://image.nostr.build/6629b18187ea275f88a25472814c87e2dd737011891cc5e7093dc8ad2f198fd0.png
I checked pretty much everything, the lnurlp spec, nip57 spec, checked the sigs, checked the description hashes, compared 'working' zaps with non-working zaps. I don't see it... primal just doesn't render/show the incoming zaps.
Weird thing is. when I zap the other way around (from my account to test account). It works! Compared those 9734/9735 events with each other, I don't see a difference or why this wouldn't work...
Only primal though, nostrudel and amethyst work.
Time to switch for now I suppose.

Hi @npub12vk…pugg any idea why incoming zaps on my profile and notes are not showing up in primal?
For example, this event id: b2ba049883e6d54fb934945732703ca0f475fe2784843ae1ffef9c2ab021a447
I can find the receipt event on relays, nostrudel shows them. But nothing in the primal (web)app.
I'm using BTCPayserver with Nostr plugin, setup seems correct.

Devs do set the defaults, node-in-a-box providers usually take over those defaults and provide (automatic) updates. How many node runners are actually consciously configuring their node settings?

Not all incoming zaps show up on my notes. Some do, but when I test myself with a test account/test wallet, they don't.

Did you use cloudflare tunnel for this? I noticed some images not loading on your blog. I have some local changes to the ghost startos wrapper that might fix this. Will push to GH soonish.

And using cloudflare you get all their goodies (basic ddos/bot protection, ssl certificate, url routing rules, etc.)

2024-05-28 18:54:18

There's more options coming in 036/040 for opening ports on your StartOS server, but that only helps if you want to expose it to your router, set up port forwards and directly expose your WAN IP address.
Using a tunnel (like cloudflared) hides your WAN IP. That is not something StartOS can provide (unless they are going to provide some cloud services for it, but I didn't hear anything about that yet).

Currently running a #Start9 #StartOS TOR only Bitcoin / Lightning / BTCPay server node including my own lighting address behind a clearnet domain+ssl. No VPS, no complex (and slow) TOR forwarding.
I'm using the free tiers of Cloudflare websites, ssl, dns and tunnels and the StartOS wrapper I made for the cloudflared tunnel client: https://github.com/remcoros/cloudflared-startos
Basic knowledge of how to setup a cloudflare domain, ssl and a tunnel is required but it's mainly clicking through the UIs.
Leave a comment if you're interested in setting up something like this and have questions.

This also unconsciously helps identifying an account as trusted, if it's already part of your network. Even when you're not 'actively' using it as such.

Unfortunately not, this would require support from StartOS (at the linux kernel level), which is unlikely to happen. I tried to hack it on my own node, but couldn't get it working. Specter has a very different architecture in this regard, as it is a 'web application' and can use the browser API for that. KASM /webtop (which sparrow on startos is based on) can do this, but needs a virtual camera device on the actual OS (StartOS) and forwarded to the webtop container.
Someone asked something similar for USB device support, but that would require tighter integration from StartOS at the OS level and is confirmed not happening/planned by the devs.
