noStrudel¶

noStrudel is a web app for exploring the nostr protocol.

Available platforms

• StartOS

Using noStrudel on StartOS

1. Install the noStrudel service from the Start9 registry on your server.

   

2. Click “Start”.

   

3. When the service is ready click “Launch UI” to access noStrudel.

   

4. Choose how to setup your relays and create a new account or access an existing account by using a nip-07 browser extension. If creating a new account, be sure to securely back up the private key, preferably using Vaultwarden on StartOS.

   

5. To connect to your own private relay, go to Relays -> App Relays, paste in your Nostr Relay Websocket URL (e.g. ws://address.onion) and click add. You can find this value in the Properties section of your Nostr RS Relay service.

   Note

   It is recommended to use your Relay’s Tor websocket URL (ws://address.onion), since the LAN websocket URL (wss://address.local) will only work when you are home.

   If you plan to do this, you must use Tor browser or run Tor on your system.

   Note

   We recommend using Firefox which must be configured to use Tor.

   You must also allow ws:// websockets.

   Open Firefox and enter about:config in the URL bar. Accept any warnings that appear.

   Search for network.websocket.allowInsecureFromHTTPS and set the value to true.

   

6. To connect to your LND instance using Alby Hub for LN payments, go to Settings -> Lightning -> Connect wallet. Then see the Alby Hub guide for connecting apps.
