If anyone wants help with web hosting and nostr relays, don't come to me for actual help, but I can tell you specific things not to do.
Like don't begin setting up the relay until you already have the certificate for https and web sockets.
That one mistake cost me A LOT of time and frustration.
For a nip 05 to work, the json file has to be in the right place, and you need a html for the root domain otherwise it'll throw 404/403 preventing nostr clients from finding the json file.
That one also took me awhile to figure out.
