Hello, fellow Nostriches.
We at #GitCitadel have spent this week pricing out remote servers and brainstorming; considering the most cost-effective, but still performant, way to implement a public #gitserver based upon Nostr. In order to help us front the rental fees and lower the price to individual npubs, we have begun a new https://Geyser.fund goal.
The resulting server will have multiple #gnostr implementations and tools on it. We are planning to begin with:
* the #GitRepublic API, that will make it possible to log in to git with your Nostr signer, and will trade out e-mail communication with Nostr notes,
* an HTTP-based git server (the first thing that will be going online, so that everyone can move or mirror their repos),
* a paid AUTH relay https://gitcitadel.nostr1.com (currently 5000 sats/month, to cover all the running costs, but we hope to bring that down dramatically, due to your donations),
* an #Alexandria instance focused on technical documentation and styled for the dev users,
* and an instance of https://GitWorkshop.dev that displays the repos on the server.
It's difficult to compete with a "free" public service, like GitHub or Codeberg, but we're hoping that tighter integration with Nostr will add some value to the developers using it, and for the public interested in browsing the PoW stored on it. Through the integration of Nostr and Lightning, we are leaning into the comfortable, Nostrized, friction-free logins, and will facilitate V4V payments for Nostr's hard-working devs.
Many thanks in advance.
And may you have a good morning.
For the record:
I am building an extensive, professional-quality, fully-automated, test landscape for our #Alexandria and #GitRepublic projects, and all associated relays. And my repos are FOSS, and I'm going to design them to be easily forked-and-customized. That means I can use it to expertly test our products, as if I were a crazy hacker.
It also means that a real, actual, crazy hacker can use those same tools to test ANY APP and ANY RELAY, so long as he has a computer, can read my clear instructions, and doesn't have shit for brains.
You're welcome.
We already have a relay wss://thecitadel.nostr1.com, that doesn't contain any Kind 01 notes. It's "public and free", as it's intended as a backend for #Alexandria, #Wikistr, #Biblestr and #GitRepublic.
So, it's going to mostly contain documents, books, academic journals, wiki pages, bug reports, git repo events, and etc.
We'll have to rate-limit it, eventually, nostr:npub10npj3gydmv40m70ehemmal6vsdyfl7tewgvz043g54p0x23y0s8qzztl5h , and maybe have a curated one for rent, or something, but OtherStuff hasn't yet been hit by the full brunt of spam.
