You can find it here: gemini://vi.rs  I'm using Let's Encrypt TLS certs with a modified Pollux. I've been watching the Gemini project for months now and I like where it is headed. I chose to publish using only Gemini because it is the closest user-sovereign publishing system we have ATM.

There aren't any precompiled packages or installers so I've been having them ssh to kiosk to run the VP client. Is anybody planning to publish packages/installers anytime soon? I've had several thousand hits on my Gemini space in the last couple of days despite the hurdles for getting onto Gemini. Castor is hosted on sr.ht that has CI capabilities. I'm familiar with setting up CI builds on Github but not on sr.ht. Does anybody know how to set that up and is willing to send a patch to the maintainer of Castor?

Can't answer your specific question since I've only written a server nota client, but I figured I'd chime in.

I'm somewhat familiar with packaging stuff using OpenSuse's OpenBuildSystemwhich can spit out rpms, debs, etc pretty easily. If anyone wants theirclient/server packaged but doesn't know how I'm more than happy to helpout and get that ball rolling.
