I have made documentation for Nestri, so everybody easy can find instructions to get started. It will also make it easier for people to help contribute to the documentation. The documentation is built with Nuxt3, [Docus ](https://github.com/nuxt-themes) which uses Nuxt Content.

## Generating an SSL Certificate for Nestri Relay
|
|
|
|
This guide is for developers and advanced users who wish to self-host Nestri Relay. We strongly discourage this setup for general users due to its complexity, particularly when it comes to configuring SSL certificates correctly. Using a self-signed certificate or manually generating certificates can lead to issues with browser compatibility and security warnings, making it difficult to ensure a smooth experience.
|
|
|
|
For most users, we highly recommend using the **Nestri-hosted Relay**, which requires no manual setup and is ready to use out of the box.

## Generating an SSL Certificate Using Terraform
|
|
|
|
If you still wish to proceed with self-hosting, we recommend using Terraform to generate a valid SSL certificate. This method provides a secure, automated way to obtain the necessary certificates for Nestri Relay.
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
1. **Update the `terraform.tfvars`** file with your domain and email.
|
|
2. Run the following command to initialize the Terraform working directory:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
terraform init
|
|
```
|
|
```bash
|
|
terraform plan
|
|
```
|
|
```bash
|
|
terraform apply
|
|
```
|
|
The configuration provides two sensitive outputs:
|
|
```bash
|
|
certificate_pem: The full certificate chain
|
|
private_key_pem: The private key for the certificate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
These can be then be used in your `moq-relay` as it requires SSL/TLS certificates.
|
|
|
|
## Note
|
|
The generated certificate and key files are saved locally and ignored by git:
|
|
```git
|
|
.terraform
|
|
relay_*
|
|
``` |
