alex 627724f702 start: introduce Server type and Shutdown (breaking change)
the main motivation for this change is to be able to run tests.
before this commit, Start, Router and Log operated on global variables,
making automated testing unreasonably hard.

this commit puts all that a server needs in a new Server type,
which also made it possible for a Server.Shutdown - see ShutdownAware
doc comments.

BREAKING CHANGES:
- Relay.OnInitialized takes one argument now, *relayer.Server.
- relayer.Router is now replaced by relayer.Server.Router().
  package users can still hook into the router from OnInitialized
  for custom HTTP routing.
- relayer.Log is gone. apart from another global var, imho this was
  a too opinionated choice for a framework to build a custom relay upon.
  this commit introduces a Logger interface which package users can implement
  for zerolog to make it log like before. see Server.Log for details.

other notable changes: finally added a couple basic tests, for start up
and shutdown. doc comments now explain most of the essentials,
hopefully making it more approachable for newcomers and easier to understand
the relayer package.

the changes in handlers.go are minimal, although git diff goes crazy.
this is because most of the lines are simply shifted indentation back by one
due to go fmt.

before this commit:

    func handleWebsocket(relay Relay) func(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request)
    func handleNIP11(relay Relay) func(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request)

after:

    func (s *Server) handleWebsocket(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request)
    func (s *Server) handleNIP11(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request)

expensive-relay, a sybil-free corner of nostr

  • a nostr relay implementation based on relayer.
  • uses postgres, which I think must be over version 12 since it uses generated columns.
  • requires users to manually register themselves to be able to publish events and pay a fee. this should prevent spam.
  • aside from that it's basically the same thing as relayer basic.

running

this requires a recent CLN version with Commando.

grab a binary from the releases page and run it with the following environment variables:

POSTGRESQL_DATABASE=postgresql://...
CLN_NODE_ID=02fed8723...
CLN_HOST=127.0.0.1:9735
CLN_RUNE=...
TICKET_PRICE_SATS=500

adjust the values above accordingly.

compiling

if you know Go you already know this:

go install github.com/fiatjaf/relayer/expensive

or something like that.
