This is how I update my Transjovian Capsule using Lagrange on my phone, with many screenshots.
Back to the Transjovian Capsules introduction
Here I am, loading my capsule. Notice how I picked the “Alex” identity down at the bottom where the head silhouette icon is. Create a new identity, if you don’t have one.
Click the “Specify file for upload” link and provide a file name ending in “.gmi” – the filename we’re going to create – and click “Send”.
Now we’re at the correct URL, but we still need to upload something.
Click the three dot menu “⋯” above and pick “Upload Page with Titan” from the menu.
Pick your identity again (“Alex” in my case) and click on the “Upload Plain Text” link.
Write or paste the text you want to upload. Notice how I’m already preparing a link to an image at the very end: I want to upload an image called “face.jpg”, too. Click “Upload” when you’re done.
We’re back at the file list, and the new file “family.gmi” exists!
Click on the link to check it out.
Return to the capsule page using the left pointing arrow at the bottom.
Click the “Specify file for upload” link and provide the file name we want: “face.jpg” and click “Send”.
Again, the file does not exist – yet!
Pick your identity again (“Alex” in my case) and click on the “Upload a File” link.
Here’s the tricky part, on the iPhone: you cannot pick an image in your Photos! It has to be a “file”. In the Photos app, pick the photo, click “Share” and pick “Save to Files”. And here’s the next tricky part: You need to pick a place to save it. I like to use On My iPhone → Firefox → Downloads.
Back in Lagrange, find the file and pick it.
The important part to check is whether the file size is 100,000 or less. You need to find a way to resize your files if your files are too big. Or host them elsewhere.
Click “Upload”.
We’re back in our capsule, and the file is uploaded!
Click the link and see how Lagrange inlines the image! 🤩
Maybe we’re done, right? Well, maybe not! Remember Antenna? We want to let other people know about the new page. So let’s go to our “gemlog” – that is, the page “index.gmi”.
Click the three dot menu “⋯” above and pick “Copy Page Source” from the menu. Then click the three dot menu again and pick “Upload Page with Titan” from the menu.
Copy Page Source and Upload Page with Titan
Pick your identity again (“Alex” in my case) and click on the “Upload Plain Text” link.
Click in to the text area, then click on the cursor again to call up the edit menu. Pick “Select All” and hit the backspace key.
Click into the text area again to call up the edit menu. Pick “Paste” and insert the page source we copied.
Add a new entry for the page we just created. Make sure you start the link text with a date in the format YYYY-MM-DD (four digit year, two digit month, two digit day). Click “Upload”.
Now go back to your bookmarks and find that link to submit your “gemlog” (the URL to your “index.gmi” page) to Antenna.
To do it, use “gemini://warmedal.se/~antenna/submit?” and add the URL to your “index.gmi” page: “gemini:/transjovian.org/capsule/intetebi/index.gmi” (replace “intetebi” with your own capsule’s name).
There’s more info on how it all works on Antenna itself. Plus all the other people who are writing! 😄
