Does anyone know how to get a Gemini server set up on a Raspberry Pi 3b+? I know that may sound a bit dumb, but I've given myself a headache trying to get it set up...
I have no issue, like, using ssh to get into the pi and whatever, but I don't really know how to connect my domain to anything?? Or get everything set up properly???

I remember a free service called duckdns and a script for Debian to sincronize your IP with duckdns... Said that you can connect your domain to duckdns... Sounds easy but it is not... 😅 · 1 year ago
one thing I had to remember to do was forward the port from my home router. also had a script that ran with Cron to periodically update the DNS entry with njalla, the DNS provider · 1 year ago
gemini://gemini.mingmengtou.org/gemini_server_set_up.gmi might help you - a few updates since i did it but posts for all of these - using dynamic dns · 1 year ago

You could buy some relatively cheap internet connection with static IP using sim-cards. That's what I did. Then connect your Pi to internet using this sim-card, set up a firewall (allow inbound connections on port 1965 if you want a Gemini server). That's it. Now - you can leave it that way and give everyone your IP address, or - if you want to, you can buy a domain name if you don't already have one and set an A record on it pointing to your IP. Done! :-) · 1 year ago
You're gonna need a static IP which is rather rare on residential connections these days. Depending on your ISP, inbound connections (from internet to your computer/pi) might not even be possible at all. If they are, you might want to take a look at "dynamic dns". It's generally less reliable than having a static ip, but it might just be sufficient for your use case. · 1 year ago
