NosDAV

Nostr-native Solid storage server. Powered by JSS.

NosDAV gives you a personal Solid pod with a Nostr identity baked in. One command, no install, no config.

Try in 60 seconds

npx nosdav-server

A Schnorr secp256k1 owner keypair is generated on first start, stored at /private/privkey.jsonld, and published in your WebID profile as a Multikey verification method. Your pod becomes its own DID resolver via /.well-known/did/nostr/. The same pod also speaks normal Solid — WebID, ACL, OIDC, LDP, content negotiation, WebSocket notifications, git push/clone — all of JSS’s features unchanged.

Relationship to jspod

NosDAV is the Nostr-default wrapper. jspod is the Solid-default wrapper. Both are thin opinion layers on top of JSS:

If you want Nostr identity on your pod from day one, run npx nosdav-server. If you want a Solid-only personal pod, run npx jspod. The data on disk is portable between them.
