Checked while asking whether the amethyst-nostr cask's review feedback applied
to the two formulae. It does not — but running homebrew-core's own linter over
them turned up a real defect neither had been checked for.
**The style violation, in both files.** `brew style` flags
Homebrew/FormulaPathMethods: Use formula_opt_prefix("openjdk")
instead of Formula["openjdk"].opt_prefix
on the `write_env_script` line. Fixed in `amy.rb` and `geode.rb`; both now
report no offenses. It would have been raised on submission.
**A duplicated sentence.** amy.rb opened with "Reference Homebrew formula for
`amy`, the Amethyst CLI." twice, once on line 1 and again on line 3.
**Why they must NOT be made to match the cask.** The cask lost its `livecheck`
block and inline comments on review, so the obvious next step is to do the same
here. That would be wrong, and the header now says so with the evidence:
homebrew-cask and homebrew-core differ. Sampling the live core tap, 127 of 300
formulae with GitHub-release URLs declare `livecheck` (62 using
`:github_latest`), and 109 of 200 carry indented inline comments. `livecheck`
is load-bearing in core — it is what lets BrewTestBot open version-bump PRs, so
stripping it would disable exactly the automation the block exists for.
**geode cannot be submitted under that name.** homebrew-core's
`formula_renames.json` maps "geode" -> "apache-geode", so the token is
permanently reserved and `brew info --formula geode` resolves to Apache Geode.
Submitting needs a different token (`geode-relay`, `amethyst-geode`) plus a
matching change to bump-homebrew-geode-formula.yml. Recorded as a blocker in
the header rather than discovered at PR time.
**amy is unblocked but not ready.** The one-open-AI-PR limit that gated it is
cleared now the cask has merged; the ~70 MB bundle from `:commons` pulling
Compose/Skiko onto the CLI classpath is still the likely review objection, and
`brew audit --new --formula` has not been run end to end.
Verified the enlarged headers cannot confuse the bump workflows: both anchor on
`^ url ` / `^ sha256 ` at a two-space indent, each matches exactly once, and
replaying their `sed` changes those two lines only. `ruby -c` passes on both.

geode
A standalone Nostr relay for the JVM, built on Quartz's relay-server code (Ktor CIO). It speaks the core relay protocol plus NIP-11 (info doc), NIP-42 (AUTH), NIP-45 (COUNT), NIP-50 (full-text search), NIP-77 (Negentropy sync), and NIP-86 (relay management), stores events in SQLite (or a filesystem backend), and can mirror upstream relays strfry-router style.
geode depends only on :quartz — no Android, no Compose. amy serve (the
Amethyst CLI) embeds the same engine in-process.
Install
Pick the channel that matches how you deploy. For a real relay, the Docker
image or the .deb/.rpm + systemd are the two production paths;
Homebrew and the portable tarball are handy for local testing.
Docker (recommended for servers)
Images are published to GHCR on every release:
# Ephemeral — in-memory store, events vanish on restart:
docker run --rm -p 7447:7447 ghcr.io/vitorpamplona/geode:latest
# Persistent + configured:
docker run -d --name geode -p 7447:7447 \
-v $PWD/geode.toml:/etc/geode/geode.toml:ro \
-v geode-data:/var/lib/geode \
ghcr.io/vitorpamplona/geode:latest --config /etc/geode/geode.toml
with in_memory = false and file = "/var/lib/geode/events.db" in your
geode.toml. Pin a version (:1.14.0) instead of :latest for reproducible
deploys. To build the image yourself, from the repo root:
docker build -f geode/Dockerfile -t geode:local .
Debian/Ubuntu (.deb) and Fedora/RHEL (.rpm)
Download geode-<version>-linux-x64.deb (or .rpm) from the
release page and install
it — a minimal JRE is bundled, so no system Java is required. It installs to
/opt/geode/ with the launcher at /opt/geode/bin/geode.
sudo dpkg -i geode-1.14.0-linux-x64.deb # or: sudo rpm -i geode-1.14.0-linux-x64.rpm
To run it as a managed service, wire up the shipped systemd unit
(/opt/geode/share/geode/geode.service) — the unit file's header comment has
the copy-paste steps (create the geode user, drop your config in
/etc/geode/geode.toml, systemctl enable --now geode).
Homebrew
brew install vitorpamplona/tap/geode # from the tap, once published
The formula depends on openjdk and installs the no-JRE jar bundle. Reference
formula: packaging/homebrew/geode.rb.
Portable tarball (any Linux/macOS, no system Java)
Download geode-<version>-<os>-<arch>.tar.gz, unpack, and run:
tar xzf geode-1.14.0-linux-x64.tar.gz
./geode/bin/geode --config geode/share/geode/config.example.toml
The tarball bundles a jlink'd JRE plus share/geode/config.example.toml and
share/geode/geode.service.
From source
./gradlew :geode:run --args="--config /etc/geode.toml"
Configure
geode runs with zero config (binds 0.0.0.0:7447, in-memory SQLite). For
anything real, copy config.example.toml and edit it —
the sections mirror nostr-rs-relay's config.toml so existing configs port
almost verbatim. Precedence is CLI flags > TOML > built-in defaults.
geode --config /etc/geode/geode.toml
geode --help # full flag list
geode --version
Key sections: [info] (NIP-11 doc), [network] (bind + thread pools),
[database] (SQLite path/tuning), [options] (AUTH / verify / search),
[authorization] (allow/deny lists), [[mirror]] (upstream mirroring), and
[admin] (NIP-86 management). See the example file for every knob.
Verbs
geode [relay] [flags] serve the relay (default)
geode import [flags] [FILE…] bulk-load NDJSON events into the store
geode export [flags] dump the store as NDJSON to stdout
import/export are geode's strfry import / strfry export — one JSON event
per line, for seeding, migrating, or backing up a relay. Both stream, so a
multi-million-event corpus round-trips in roughly constant memory.
Release process
geode ships on the same tag-driven pipeline as the rest of Amethyst: pushing a
v* tag runs .github/workflows/create-release.yml, whose build-geode job
produces the tarball + .deb/.rpm + Homebrew jvm bundle, docker-geode
builds and pushes the GHCR image, and bump-homebrew-geode-formula.yml syncs
the reference formula. Design notes:
