# Zooid
This is a multi-tenant relay based on [Khatru](https://gitworkshop.dev/fiatjaf.com/nostrlib/tree/master/khatru) which implements a range of access controls. It's designed to be used with [Flotilla](https://flotilla.social) as a community relay (complete with NIP 29 support), but it can also be used outside of a community context.
## Architecture
A single zooid instance can run any number of "virtual" relays. The `config` directory can contain any number of configuration files, each of which represents a single virtual relay.
## Environment
Zooid supports a few environment variables, which configure shared resources like the web server or sqlite database.
- `PORT` - the port the server will listen on for all requests. Defaults to `3334`.
- `DATA` - the location of the directory for storing database files and media. Defaults to `./data`.
## Configuration
Configuration files are written using [toml](https://toml.io). The name of the configuration file should be the hostname the relay serves, for example `relay.example.com`. Config files contain the following sections:
### `[self]`
Contains information for populating the relay's `nip11` document.
Required:
- `schema` - a string that identifies this relay. This cannot be changed, and must be usable as a sqlite identifier.
- `secret` - the nostr secret key of the relay. Will be used to populate the relay's NIP 11 `self` field and sign generated events.
Optional:
- `name` - the name of your relay.
- `icon` - an icon for your relay.
- `pubkey` - the public key of the relay owner. Does not affect access controls.
- `description` - your relay's description.
### `[groups]`
Configures NIP 29 support.
- `enabled` - whether NIP 29 is enabled.
- `auto_join` - whether relay members can join `open` groups without approval. Defaults to `true`.
- `auto_leave` - whether relay members can leave groups without approval. Defaults to `true`.
### `[management]`
Configures NIP 86 support.
- `enabled` - whether NIP 86 is enabled.
- `methods` - a list of [NIP 86](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/86.md) relay management methods enabled for this relay.
### `[blossom]`
Configures blossom support.
- `enabled` - whether blossom is enabled.
### `[roles]`
Defines roles that can be assigned to different users and attendant privileges. Each role is defined by a `[roles.{role_name}]` header and has the following options:
- `pubkeys` - a list of nostr pubkeys this role is assigned to.
- `can_invite` - a boolean indicating whether this role can invite new members to the relay by requesting a `kind 28935` claim. Defaults to `false`. See [access requests](https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1079) for more details.
- `can_manage` - a boolean indicating whether this role can use NIP 86 relay management and administer NIP 29 groups. Defaults to `false`.
A special `[roles.member]` heading may be used to configure policies for all relay users (that is, pubkeys assigned to other roles, or who have redeemed an invite code).
### Example
The below config file might be saved as `./config/my-relay.example.com` in order to route requests from `wss://my-relay.example.com` to this virtual relay.
```toml
[self]
name = "My relay"
schema = 'my_relay'
secret = "ce30b1831a4551f4cb7a984033c34ab96d8cf56ff50df9d0c27d9fa5422f2278"
[groups]
enabled = true
auto_join = false
[management]
enabled = true
methods = ["supportedmethods", "banpubkey", "allowpubkey"]
[blossom]
enabled = false
[roles.member]
can_invite = true
[roles.admin]
pubkeys = ["d9254d9898fd4728f7e2b32b87520221a50f6b8b97d935d7da2de8923988aa6d"]
can_manage = true
```
## Development
See `justfile` for defined commands.
## TODO
- [ ] Sync claims to management db, pull directly from management db when checking access
- [ ] Add admin/owner/etc to list allowed pubkeys
- [ ] Watch configuration files and hot reload
- [ ] Free up resources after instance inactivity
