[ANN] Gemini capsule: cratermouse

1. reuben (reuben (a) cratermouse.com)

Hi all,
known as ruenoak on the list.
with a bit of trial and error and help from Chris Were's Youtube 
tutorial, I finally go my Gemini server up and running.
Seem to be having a little trouble with text wrapping for some reason, 
not sure why yet.
Gemini is what I have been waiting for,? just clean beautiful text.

gemini://cratermouse.com

All the best
ruenoak

I can't load this in amfora, but lagrange can load it, even tho it's
complaining about an Untrusted Certificate (CN = YOURDOMAIN.COM)
Maybe try generating your certificates with this:

openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout cratermouse.com.key -nodes
-x509 -out cratermouse.com.crt -subj "/CN=cratermouse.com"

that's what I use to generate my certificates

Indeed, the problem is that the certificate is not issued for
cratermouse.com but for yourdomain.com:

% gnutls-cli -p 1965 cratermouse.com
...
- Certificate[0] info:
 - subject `CN=YOURDOMAIN.COM',

The specification
<gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/specification.gmi> is silent
about that (a general problem of section 4) so all clients, whether
they accept or reject this certificate, are right.

A fellow Emacs user! Welcome! =)

There's a problem with the ASCII art, you should enclose it in ``` so
it's treated as a verbatim block; not every client uses monospace to
render the lines, and it could confuse screen readers and such :)

P.S.: you may want to check out elpher, an Emacs client for Gemini

P.P.S. maybe it's just me, I'd bump that 2048 ;)

Thanks Omar Polo for the ASCII tip I will try it. I've heard about 
elpher, I'll give it a try.
metalune, I generated the keys again, I still get a self-signed and 
untrusted key warning in the Kristall browser. Kristall and Ariane on my 
phone are the only two browser I have installed at the moment i will 
need to add a few more for testing I'm thinking.

Thanks.

The problem were not the keys, regenerating them does not help. The
problem is the owner of the certificate (subject, in X.509 parlance),
which is yourdomain.com when it should be cratermouse.com.

 % gnutls-cli -p 1965 cratermouse.com
...
- Certificate[0] info:
 - subject `CN=YOURDOMAIN.COM',

Thanks Stephane seems to all be working now

Thanks
