Instructions for generating a certificate are available at

gemini://oppen.digital/memex/posts/tech/android_pkcs12/

Ariana is complaining about the address as copy/pasted into the address bar. Any idea why?

Not sure. That link is on the default homepage for Ariane though (gemini://oppen.digital/ariane/)

Just in case it still doesn't work though, I'll attach it to this email.-------------- next part --------------# Generate a PKCS12 keystore on AndroidAriane currently only supports a private key plus X.509 certificate bundled in the PKCS12 archive format.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKCS_12 PKCS12

To generate a client certificate on your device firstly install Termux if you don't have it already. The latest Termux is now only available on F-Droid:

https://www.f-droid.org/ F-Droid=

https://termux.com/ Termux=

https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=com.termux Termux: F-Droid

Open Termux and follow the steps below:```openssl # follow the prompts to install

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365

enter a passphrase and follow the instructions:# enter a nickname/identity name in the Organization Name field

cat key.pem

cert.pemopenssl pkcs12 -export -in cert.pem -out cert.pfx``` You should now have a cert.pfx file you can use as a Gemini identity in Ariane.The same commands can be used after installing OpenSSL on Linux or MacOS if you don't want to install Termux.
