Hi rtr,
I'm not that successful up to now:
I can ping your host via yggdrasil.
I can ping my vps via yggdrasil.
.. but I can't call your capsule or my capsule, same error:
Loading gemini://[209:dead:1cc2:970:637b:450f:6575:9a24]/~/rtr/...

I'm using amfora. I made my certificate this way, would the CN be ok
in your eyes? How did you do it? Which browser do you use?
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -days 36500 -nodes \
-keyout yggdrasil.key -out yggdrasil.crt -subj \
"/CN=201:112e:4d49:1af1:9190:6da8:bf38:aa9d"
But: THIS IS THE WRONG WAY
I successfully created a self signed certificate for localhost, but I
never managed to call the gemini server just by it's ip, always I need
to call it localhost.
I googled a lot but up to now I did not find a way to work just with ip.

Hi Martin,

That's odd. I was able to access my capsule in Yggdrasil through Elpher

and Lagrange. I've just tried Amfora and I can confirm that that error

does show up on my end too.

I've used roughly the same command as you did above. I've set the CN

variable to the IP address of my Yggdrasil machine. If that's the wrong

way then I have no idea at the moment to properly do it. I've just

looked into SAN but I'll probably need to look at it when I have more

time in my hands.

Also, I don't think setting the HOSTNAME variable to localhost will work

since Molly Brown assumes that the variable to be connectable

from the outside. If that would be an issue, probably something like

gnmisrv might be more apt since it (seems) to not look for a hostname

variable [1].

One solution that I'm thinking right now is to just get a DNS record for

your Yggdrasil capsule. I believe you can use Alfis to do this

[2]. I haven't messed around with DNS for Yggdrasil yet though so I

don't have any informed opinion about that.

Cheers!
