< What's a good Gemini server these days?

Oh, cool, thanks!

I'd actually planned to go with FreeBSD for Smog, too, and eventually decided against it thinking that Ubuntu LTS would be a more common target and it would therefore be easier for me to set up a server for a technology I'd only used on the client side before. Big mistake...

Can I bother you with two more questions?

1. I see Molly Brown is not in the ports tree, but I hear it has good support for FreeBSD. I've noticed you have a port at https://anachronauts.club/repos/ports/tree/www/molly-brown -- is that what you're running?

2. Do you run it in a jail? Should I even bother with any of that for a server with no untrusted users (no users other than myself, in fact)? I'm super comfortable with jails, I use them for development all the time, I'm just not sure if this is something that's relevant for deployment in this scenario.

Thank you very much!

1 - yes, that's what we're running.

2 - if you plan to operate multiple services on the host (e.g. gopher) jails seem like a good idea for isolation.
