Immortal

The Immortal is a Nostr relay implementation in Rust.

Immortal is aimed and designed to be scalable, high-performance, and configurable. It's a good choice for paid relays or big community relays, and not a good choice for a personal relay.

Installation & Running

Prerequisites

• Rust 1.70 or later
• Cargo (comes with Rust)

Building from Source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/dezh-tech/immortal.git
cd immortal

# Build the project
cargo build --release

# Run the relay
cargo run --release

Configuration

The relay can be configured using a config.toml file. See the example configuration in the repository.

Telegram Bot Integration

Immortal includes optional Telegram bot integration for monitoring and notifications. To enable the bot:

1. Create a new bot with @BotFather on Telegram
2. Get your bot token
3. Add the token to your config.toml:

telegram_bot_token = "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE"

The bot supports the following commands:

• /start - Welcome message
• /status - Get relay status
• /help - Show available commands

If no token is provided, the relay will run without the Telegram bot.

Updates

Updates, changes, or community discussions can be followed on the GitHub issue/discussion or the Dezh Technologies Nostr profile.
