I just know serve scripts are possible, but I don't know what is
realistically doable and it of that what actually works within the

You can basically do any sort of CGI scripting you want, in python,shell, etc. I wrote a very simple Python script here that simply proxiesthe tilde wiki over gemini:
gemini://tilde.team/~remyabel/wiki.cgi
It's not very advanced but it gets the job done. To start off, all youneed to do is print the correct response code and content type. So ahello world would look like:
printf "20 text/gemini\r\n"printf "hello world"
I would look at the specification or other CGI scripts for moreexamples.
