This weekend I set myself out to learn how to set up a local Gemini server.
So far I had been doing everything over ssh, which was fun in a sense but at times a bit cumbersome as my Gemini page kept growing larger.
I used mozz's Jetforce and could run a server from a very small Python file:
from jetforce import GeminiServer, StaticDirectoryApplication
app = StaticDirectoryApplication("public_gemini")
if __name__ == "__main__":
server = GeminiServer(app, host="127.0.0.1", hostname="localhost")
server.run()
Here's a link to the Jetforce repo:
And here are some more options of Gemini servers:
One thing I took a while to figure out was that I should just point the Gemini browser to "localhost", not even including the port number.
Before that I was pointing it to "127.0.0.1" and getting the error "This server does not allow proxy requests".
I hope this is useful to you somehow. I have a more detailed post in the Portuguese section that I may or may not translate one day:
