Dockerfile

contrib/Dockerfile

A sample Dockerfile that builds an alpine linux-based image with a statically linked gmid installed as /bin/gmid. To build the image:

# docker build -f contrib/Dockerfile -t gmid .

and then run it with something along the lines of:

# docker run --rm -it -p 1965:1965      \
        -v gmid.conf:/etc/gmid.conf:ro  \
        -v path/to/keys:/tls:ro         \
        -v /var/gemini:/var/gemini:ro   \
        gmid -c /etc/gmid.conf

gencert

contrib/gencert

contrib/gencert is a simple script to generate self-signed certificates.

OpenBSD rc file

contrib/gmid

contrib/gmid is a sample service file for OpenBSD rc(8). To install it:

# cp contrib/gmid /etc/rc.d

then the usual ‘rcctl [start|stop|enable|restart] gmid’ are available.

systemd unit file

contrib/gmid.service

contrib/gmid.sysusers

A simple service file for systemd. To install it

# cp contrib/gmid.service /etc/systemd/system/gmid.service
# systemctl daemon-reload

then the usual ‘systemctl [status|start|enable|stop] gmid’ commands can be used to manage the server.

Some things to keep in mind:

the ExecStart path may depend on the installation
a ‘gmid’ user needs to be created with systemd-sysusers or useradd:

# systemd-sysusers contrib/gmid.sysusers
 or
# useradd --system --no-create-home -s /bin/nologin -c "gmid Gemini server" gmid

logs can be inspected with journalctl(1)

# journalctl -t gmid

mime.types

contrib/mime.types

A copy of OpenBSD' /usr/share/misc/mime.types to be used as

# /etc/gmid.conf

types {
	include "/path/to/mime.types"
}

renew certificates automatically

contrib/renew-certs

contrib/renew-certs is a script meant to be run in a crontab that watch for certificate expiration. It can optionally renew the certs and restart gmid too.

Read the documentation with: perldoc renew-certs
