Run a Messenger Relay
Requirements
- A Linux server with Docker + Docker Compose.
- A domain / subdomain with TLS (Let's Encrypt recommended, so clients trust it natively).
- Open the relay's TLS port; do not expose any node RPC.
Operating notes
- Do not log client IPs. Check your reverse-proxy and relay log config.
- Persistence, storage caps, and rate limits are built in — a single relay cannot be flooded into filling its disk.
- Keep the server patched, SSH key-only, and firewalled to just the TLS port + SSH.
