My First Gemini specific post

Posted on 2021-02-13

Today, I worked on my on my gemini capsule. The first version I published earlier this week when opening my gemini server was basically a copy of my blog page. It could have been ok if the posts where clean but the conversion was a bit too simplistic and links where not in the right format. As well it was not very flexible.

I basically follow these different links for that first version:

These solution did not work for me, at least not the way I wanted my gemini capsule to be, so I had to adapt the process a bit.

My requirements were:

I'm not going to detail it in this gemlog entry as I'm going to write a blog post (so available via the web and here) soon on the full solution I'm using as it might be useful for other people joining the gemini fun :).

The summary of how I did it was a mix of what is detailed above (creating a different homepage and section template). Pages are not generated for the gemini output though, only homepage and sections have a gemini output. I run after that a script that will move somes generated files around and more importantly transform all .md files into .gmi files. That part was achieve very easily thanks to the Md2gemini python library (WEB)[4].

It still miss an RSS feed for my gemini capsule, but that's something I'll work on later and I'll write about it after as well, so stay in touch for the blog posts^^.

In the meantime, for this first gemini only post, I wanted to highlight why, not only did I creat this capsule, but also why I want to publish specific content here (even though I'm not publishing enough content on my weblog already).

Here's why (in no particular order):

That will do it for this first gemini only post! Until the next one :).
