### Overview

Primal’s caching service for Nostr connects to the specified set of relays, collects all events in real time, stores them locally, and makes them available to nostr clients through a web socket-based API.

### Usage

Running the caching service if you have nix package manager installed:

    nix develop -c sh -c '$start_primal_caching_service'

Running the caching service if you have docker installed:

    docker run -it --rm -v `pwd`:`pwd` -w `pwd` -p 8801:8801 -e PRIMALSERVER_HOST=0.0.0.0 nixos/nix nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' develop -c sh -c '$start_primal_caching_service' 

Log files for fetched messages and sqlite database files will be located in `var` sub-directory by default.

Monitor fetching (press enter to stop monitoring):

    Fetching.mon()

To safely stop the process:

    Fetching.stop(); close(cache_storage); exit()
