This is a very basic guide, just to understand what’s needed to set it up.

Prerequisite
- a webserver with a domain under your control
- nostr account with private and public key setup on https://nostr.com, preferably set up with nos2x: https://github.com/fiatjaf/nos2x or alby.
Setup static file on server
Create a file that resolves to \<domain\>/.well-known/nostr.json, and fill it out like this (enter the name you want to use, and input your own public key, make sure its the HEX-key):
{
"names": {
"<name>": "<pubkey>"
}
}
Setup CORS permissions
For nostr-clients to be able to execute the file, you have to allow CORS on your webserver.
On nginx you just have to put something like this in the config:
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
Setup branle/nostr
In branle, go to settings and fill inn your <name>@<your topdomain> in the “NIP-05 Identifier” field.
Go you your profile. If everything worked out, you will see a checkmark next to your name (based on your domain).
Usual problems
- CORS: Make sure CORS is correctly set up. You can test it here: https://www.test-cors.org/
- Pub-key: Only use the HEX-key. Npub-key won’t work.
