I am proud to have migrated my Gemini capsule and web blog into an Orange Pi Zero that I bought years ago and never really knew what to do with because it was so underpowered.
However, hosting both protocols is requiring only a handful of megabytes of RAM, so I am eager to think about more use cases for it!

I’m toying with the idea of running a Gemini capsule off an ESP32 just for gimmicks…
@requim I can't remember which capsule but someone is running a gemini server on an ESP32.

I host my telnet BBS from a Pi 3B+
I’ve hosted my capsule on Orange Pi PC for some time. I worked pretty well, but I killed one of my SD cards (old one, not new one, it was working in my phone for a while) and than wanted to keep data on HDD in external socket connected via USB and killed HDD in result too.
With external HDD I’ve managed to cram Syncthing, stargazer (Gemini server), cgit, nginx, Xandikos and Miniflux with PostgreSQL on it. And I think that having almost 300GB of data on it + connection via USB was causing problems with storage longevity…

@drh3xx Maybe gemini://gemini.dimakrasner.com/ ?
Load times for Gemini pages are at least five seconds.
@michaelnordmeyer And how incredibly good of the author to publish the server source code!
I hosted on my Pi for a while but didn't want people connecting to my home network.
My capsule was previously on an ESP32 but now it's on a Pi Pico W - TLS handshakes are super slow (was much faster with ESP32 but concurrent connection limit was lower)
Esp’s have a crypto chip to handle TLS don’t they? Pretty cool about hosting uour capsule off an ESP tho. I might think up some fun ways to include ESP’s in gemini space apart from hosting. “Sm0lnet of things” style.
