Ok cool! So I am trying to use zooid for my project and running the provided command (after making the proper directories and config and such), it says it is running on :3334 and that the config is lo...

Got it, sounds like everything is working as designed but there are some documentation gaps.

First of all, the url to make requests against is the one in the config file, not the one printed when zooid starts up. That's where it's listening, but you have to proxy other ports (or hostnames) to zooid in order for it to serve those. This is probably why your nginx setup helped.

If you want to run without a reverse proxy, then the `host` in your config file should match the host/port that zoooid is running on. So, by default it's `localhost:3334` - you need to include that exact value in your config:

```
host = "localhost:3334"
```

You should then be able to make requests against zooid using nak:

```
nak req -k 1 --auth localhost:3334
connecting to localhost:3334... ok.
authenticating to ws://localhost:3334 as npub10x…kge6d...
ws://localhost:3334 CLOSED: restricted: you are not a member of this relay
```
`nak event` and `nak relay` should work in this setup too. Docker is fine, podman and docker have the same API. Caravel is still a work in progress, hopefully we'll have it up next week, and then it will include a dockerfile (and built image).

Let me know if this clears things up for you!

Yes that worked!!!! It seems I am unable to send a join request to the group unless I am using the pubkey set in the config. Public joins are open. It could be an issue with the group identifier because the docs do not make it clear what the group identifier should be. I figure it is just "{host}'...

I have not been able to do anything with NIP-29 on Zooid. I can create a group with nak using --auth and the pubkey I set for the relay, but when I try the same thing with NDK or Welshman, it is unable to post the event (I made sure relay is authenticated). I am also unable to join groups no matter ...
