Hi, I am interested in hosting some content over the gemini protocol. however I am struggling to find information on setting up the server and specifically the format on the content and how it is served. can someone point me in the right direction?

01:30 - zerodni

Hi Kingsy, can you give us more infomation on where you're stuck have you checked out https://gemini.circumlunar.space/software/?

zerodni's link to 'https://gemini.circumlunar.space/software/?'

02:47 - b0b

Kingsy: are you set on hosting your own server or do you just want a gemin url you can call your own?

07:06 - gerikson

Kingsy: take a look at my notes here https://gerikson.com/blog/comp/Setting-up-a-Gemini-server.html

sysrq's link to 'https://github.com/zenoamaro/unnamed-gopher-client'

gopher client in electron

14:53 - nihilazo

......why

totally defeating the point

lol

14:57 - nytpu

looking through their account they are also responsible for a few other gopher-related ~~abominations~~ "programs"

for instance, serve a gopherhole from a google sheet: https://github.com/zenoamaro/gophersheet

15:50 - Laerte

rofl whyyyyy

(i guess it's fun... in a way)

18:12 - gerikson

advanced level satire

everyone knows a gopher client can only be done in ANSI C

anthing else is an abomination in the eyes of the lord

22:28 - omni

:D

22:33 - tris

I almost wrote a Cloud Native™ Gemini server that would pull content from S3 and would've been deployed as an AMI for EC2 spot instances

but then came to my senses and realized this was not very smol

22:39 - sennomo

More like SMOL

bigsmol

22:42 - tris

:D

23:29 - nytpu

tris: feels a bit like this lol: https://zserge.com/posts/bfaas/

23:52 - tris

perfect!

00:28 - zerodni

tris, yeah at that point uisng the free tier lambda and API gateway would make more sense but feels so wrong.

00:28 - tris

zerodni, could you serve gemini with that? I thought API gateway would force you to http

00:33 - zerodni

yeah good point maybe with web stockets but at hat point your just building your own proxy

01:01 - timmc

nytpu: "You probably shouldn’t read this article."

...I should not have read that article.

11:32 - ged

nytpu: I've snorted near 3am

nytpu: fun read

12:02 - nfc

When writing gemtext is there no official recommendation about how lines end? I've seen some CRLF, some LF, some CRLF LF.

12:12 - CommunistWolf

for gemtext it doesn't matter, at a guess it follows existing platform conventions

12:14 - sysrq

nfc: >When in canonical form, media subtypes of the "text" type use CRLF as the text line break. Gemini relaxes this requirement and allows the transport of text media with plain LF alone

12:54 - nfc

sysrq: thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.

14:40 - nytpu

nfc: i believe the only requirement is that each document must be entirely one or entirely the other, you can't have mixed line endings
