This is slightly different from other capsule hosting sites. Insteadof hosting .gmi files, glv.one will run your Docker image with Geminiservice. Obviously the barrier of entry is higher than sftp-ing textfiles to a server, but I see some folks here who want to build dynamicgemini sites but not able to host them themselves.

It all started when I was annoyed with complicated deployment of mygemini servers (egsam, wikipedia proxy, geddit) and wanted somethingsimple, like a `docker push`. So I've built a Platform-as-a-Service(think Heroku, AWS Elastic Beanstalk etc). My sites have been runningon it for about a month now.

What you get- 1 docker container with 0.1 CPU shares and 10mb of RAM- MySQL database with daily backups- Domain MY_APP.glv.one with support for a custom (sub-)domain if you have one- At no cost (my setup is pretty economical and I can easily support ~50 apps)

How to use it- Ping me for an account at this email address- Login and create an app at gemini://glv.one (this is where you willfind an admin panel)- Push your docker images to deploy.glv.one/USER/APP:VERSION

ExampleThe following example deploys a simple Go app using gig framework, butany language is supported as long as it can run inside Docker. Tostart, create the following files:

Dockerfile```FROM alpine:latest

ADD example /ADD my.crt /my.crtADD my.key /my.key

CMD ["/example"]```

main.go```package main

import "github.com/pitr/gig"

func main() { g := gig.Default()

g.Handle("/", func(c gig.Context) error { return c.Gemini("# Hello, World!") })

g.Run("my.crt", "my.key")}```

Now run the following:- `go mod init example`- `GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build`- `openssl req -x509 -out my.crt -keyout my.key -newkey rsa:2048-nodes -sha256 -subj '/CN=example.glv.one' -extensions EXT -config <(printf "[dn]\nCN=example.glv.one\n[req]\ndistinguished_name =dn\n[EXT]\nsubjectAltName=DNS:example.glv.one\nkeyUsage=digitalSignature\nextendedKeyUsage=serverAuth")`- `docker build -t deploy.glv.one/USER/example:v1 .`- `docker push deploy.glv.one/USER/example:v1`

That's it, it's deployed. More information, such as how to access DB,is available once authenticated at gemini://glv.one
