Test your Relay

We'll use the cli tool nak to test our Relay. If you haven't installed it yet, you can do so by running:

go install github.com/fiatjaf/nak@latest

If you don't have go installed, you can download the latest release from the releases page

Test the Relay

First we'll send a message to the relay:

nak event -c 'testing relay' relay.relayrunner.xyz

Now we'll check if the message was received by the relay:

nak req -k 1 -l 1 relay.relayrunner.xyz

You should see an event with the content testing relay.
