Amethyst

Amethyst is an experimental Gemini server focused on providing a clean interface for building dynamic sites (although it can also handle static sites just fine). It is currently serving this capsule!

Features

It's Python
(Optional) automatic TLS certificate management: expired certificates can be rotated automatically without restarting the server, and new certificates are generated on first launch
CGI support
Directory listing support
Nix package and NixOS support
Extension interface for new content backends
Works cleanly with systemd DynamicUser

Getting Amethyst

Amethyst is on GitHub:

Main server package

NixOS modules repository

The NixOS module for Amethyst is at "services/amethyst.nix" in the modules repository.

Whenever I get around to writing a repository browser, I'll make the files available for browsing here too!

Documentation

Roadmap

I plan to add the following features to Amethyst soon:

Client certificate support
Middleware (for e.g. restricting access to paths to certain client certificates)
