  • How to build iroh-relay with the Rust toolchain
  • Any deployment gotchas other than "put binary on vps with ipv4"
  • How to configure the code to use the relay (adapting this)

I've gotten a bit further and have binaries for x86_64/aarch64 ready for testing 🤓

I'll find time soon to continue exploring the relay config, proxy and how to work this into iroh-go itself. It should also be super simple to fire up one of these private relays and wire it into ones code. I also see the relays support a --dev option which might be a nice for offline-first hacking.

These docs look super useful:

OK, that was fairly painless in the end. Documented and ready for people to pick up!
