I’ve set up an experimental relay that I’m hoping a few people can add to test - wss://relay.austrich.net. This relay is running strfry on three VPSs, one here in Australia, one in the US and one in the UK, with events streamed between them. Amazon Route 53 is used for geoproximity routing which should connect to the “closest” server, and fail over to another server if one goes down. I’m not entirely sure if this is a good idea for a Nostr relay but I’d be interested to hear feedback. Note that this is a proof of concept only, the VPSs that it is running on are underpowered to handle too many connections, and I may not keep this relay running permanently.

This seems to be working as expected. I can see connections on each of the servers and events are being streamed to the other servers. #[0]

There aren’t many people using it yet so not a lot of load on the servers.

I see. When people hear about and add it it will be different. I think the idea behind it is great 🤙

I’m testing a regional relay now that uses geolocation to connect you to the closest server #[4]

I’d love some more people to test wss://relay.austrich.net. Even with the small VPSs that it’s running on there is currently no load. #[0]

For anyone that has been testing this relay, please let me know if you start seeing any issues with it as I’ve switched to a different Geo DNS service. I’ve also added a 4th VPS running strfry in South America which is synced and streaming from the others to see how this scales when adding additional servers. If there is anyone else who would like to test this, please add wss://relay.austrich.net to your relays. #[0]

How hard was the stir fry deployment? That’s the next relay type I am going to spin up.

Thanks, it’s something I had been thinking about for a while as a way to get low latency connections to relays with failover and without needing to add a lot of relays to the list so I thought I would set it up to try. It seems to work well with strfry at least at small scale.
