SourceHut pages quick start

The steps for publishing your capsule are:

Once you’re live, we’ll look at ways to automate the process.

Your personal access token

You can generate your personal access token via meta.sr.ht:

Write it down for later reference.

Here's a simple example. Let's say you write this file to index.gmi:

# My sourcehut capsule

Welcome to my cool sourcehut capsule!

You can create a tarball for it like so:

$ tar -cvz index.gmi > site.tar.gz

Add any number of files other than index.gmi to expand this.

Here's another example of a capsule using gssg:

$ gssg
$ tar -C public -cvz . > site.tar.gz

You can use any tool, just so long as it outputs static content.

Once you have a tarball, upload it to pages.sr.ht:

$ curl --oauth2-bearer "access token" \
    -Fcontent=@site.tar.gz \
    -Fprotocol=GEMINI \
    https://pages.sr.ht/publish/username.srht.site

Substitute “access token” with your personal access token, and username with your sr.ht username.

Once you run this command, your capsule should now be live at gemini://username.srht.site!
