Thank you very much Robert!
The reason why i have not considered gemserv is that it is written in
/rust/ another language to which my exposure is NULL!
And the instructions on your website scared me off: As said, i am not a
rust developer and there are none of the rust tools installed on any of
my machines, so i would have to install the basic rust toolchain first…
