<p>We can create three different directories to simplify the process:</p>
- <pre><code>
-mkdir -p gemini/{content,certificate,server}
- </code></pre>
+ <pre><code>mkdir -p gemini/{content,certificate,server}</code></pre>
<h3>Content</h3>
<p>Gemini uses text/gemini markup. It heavily borrows from Markdown. Similar to .html or .md, gemini uses .gmi as its extension.</p>
<p>To create one gemini file, go inside the <code>content</code> directory and create one <code>index.gmi</code> file.</p>
- <pre><code>
-touch gemini/content/index.gmi
- </code></pre>
+ <pre><code>touch gemini/content/index.gmi</code></pre>
<p>Update the file content of index.gmi</p>

## With header 1 and header 2
And a short paragraph like this.
-=> /index.gmi Link to the same page

+=> /index.gmi Link to the same page</code></pre>
<h3>TLS certificate</h3>
<p>Go to the <code>certificate</code> directory which we have created earlier. Generate the TLS certificate using OpenSSL. Change YOURDOMAIN.COM to the domain of your gemini capsule.</p>
- <pre><code>
-openssl req -new -subj "/CN=YOURDOMAIN.COM" -x509 -newkey ec -pkeyopt ec_paramgen_curve:prime256v1 -days 3650 -nodes -out cert.pem -keyout key.pem

<h3>Gemini server</h3>
<p>There are many gemini servers available. You can check the list of servers <a href="https://gemini.circumlunar.space/software" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>We will use <code>agate</code> server for now. This is a simple gemini server written in Rust. Go to <code>server</code> directory and download agate server.</p>
- <pre><code>
-wget https://github.com/mbrubeck/agate/releases/download/v3.1.0/agate.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.gz

+ <pre><code>wget https://github.com/mbrubeck/agate/releases/download/v3.1.0/agate.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.gz</code></pre>
<p>Unzip the gz</p>
- <pre><code>
-gunzip agate.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.gz
- </code></pre>
+ <pre><code>gunzip agate.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.gz</code></pre>
<p>Rename and make it executable</p>

-chmod +x agate-server
- </code></pre>
+ <pre><code>mv agate.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu agate-server

<h2>Finalization</h2>
<p>Now your server should be running. If everything went okay, you can access your gemini via any gemini client with this url</p>
- <pre><code>
-gemini://YOURDOMAIN.COM
- </code></pre>
+ <pre><code>gemini://<strong>example.org</strong></code></pre>
<p>Sample gemini site for reference:</p>
- <pre><code>
-gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space
- </code></pre>
+ <pre><code>gemini://gemini.circumlunar.space</code></pre>
<p>Enjoy your first gemini capsule.</p>
