< What's a good Gemini server these days?
at anachronauts.club we use freebsd + molly brown, with warp for feed aggregation. it works pretty well, no complaints and default config is sane. if you've got untrusted users, you'll need to restrict dynamic content.
On an entirely unrelated note I want to say that I didn't know about anachronauts.club and that I am now your number #1 groupie! IRL I've been nursing a small collection of old computers since way before you could get a heart attack looking at ebay prices, and I'm actually kind of professionally involved with retrocomputing, too, so you have no idea how happy I am when I hear about one of these places! Do you guys hang out in an IRC channel somewhere, or do you have a bulletin board, or...? I'd love to drop in some time and say hi!
Oh, cool, thanks!
I'd actually planned to go with FreeBSD for Smog, too, and eventually decided against it thinking that Ubuntu LTS would be a more common target and it would therefore be easier for me to set up a server for a technology I'd only used on the client side before. Big mistake...
Can I bother you with two more questions?
1. I see Molly Brown is not in the ports tree, but I hear it has good support for FreeBSD. I've noticed you have a port at https://anachronauts.club/repos/ports/tree/www/molly-brown -- is that what you're running?
2. Do you run it in a jail? Should I even bother with any of that for a server with no untrusted users (no users other than myself, in fact)? I'm super comfortable with jails, I use them for development all the time, I'm just not sure if this is something that's relevant for deployment in this scenario.
Thank you very much!
