Ok I'm dumb... don't saw the braces :-)
Bash process substitution will do too
#!/bin/sh
port="1965"
cert="cert.pem"
key="key.pem"
printf "Starting gemini server on port %s...\n" "$port"
while true; do
ncat --ssl --ssl-cert "$cert" --ssl-key "$key" --listen "$port" <( \
printf "20 text/gemini; charset=utf-8\r\n" ; \
printf "Page generated: %s\n\n" "$(date)" ; \
cat "$1" )
done

> ncat waits only for a single connection, then terminates. I tried using
the switch to keep the connection alive and reuse it, but that means the
connection is never closed on any single request and most clients display
nothing. By wrapping it in an infinite while I just tell ncat to start a
new listener when the previous one is used. There's only ever one running
at a time, and it's a single thread, but traffic is low and it seems to work just fine.
