First entry on my first day of having a gemlog.
This capsule is being hosted using Agate¹ on an AWS free-tier EC2 instance. I will probably swap Agate out for Spacewalk² (because I like Clojure significantly better than Rust, and being able to program in the same language as the server is written in seems beneficial).
I followed this guide³ to get this thing stood up.
Getting AWS set up wasn't terribly difficult, but I think it would be pretty overwhelming to a complete newcomer. I don't know that much about using AWS to self-host stuff either, but between Googling around for guides and having had similar experiences trying to figure out how to use GCP I was able to stumble my way through getting the networking set up to permit Gemini protocol messages. Everything else is in the guide above.
