2022-11-29 - So I have a Gemini Server now

I managed to get the server up sooner than expected, but it wasn’t without its challenges.

There wasn’t an `agate` server package, nor working Rust compiler on my server, and my local machines required newer versions of GLIBC than what was available, too. Luckily, the Github¹ project releases page had sufficiently older GLIBC requirements.

The next issue to sort out was my Pandoc-utilizing Makefile needed a newer version of Pandoc than was available. Similarly the Pandoc site² had binaries.

The next issue to tackle is automatic building from git and proper certificates. The builds should be easy enough but I have to figure out how to convert my PEM certificates to DER or possibly generate new ones in DER because the Gemini spec³ might call for different algorithms than what I use for my domain.

I also need to find a Mastodon instance that I can use to host comments so I can have some method of user feedback on here.

So, per yesterday’s⁴ TODO items, I have to finish the following:

• Mastodon post for user feedback
• embed some navigation links in the page
• maybe preserve tags
• automate the Mastodon posting because I’m lazy
