gmid

A Gemini server

gmid is a full-featured Gemini server written with security in mind. It can serve static files, has an optional FastCGI and proxying support and a rich configuration syntax.

gmid also bundles a small gemini client called ‘gg’ (gemini get), a small command-line server for quick testing called ‘gemexp’ and a titan implementation.

• gmid(8) - Gemini server
• gmid.conf(5) - gmid configuration file
• gg(1) - gemini client
• gemexp(1) - export a directory over Gemini
• titan(1) - Titan client

Install

Some distros provide a package — thanks to the maintainers!

Otherwise, compile it from source: it’s easy and takes less than a minute on a raspberry pi 3

• gmid-2.1.1.tar.gz

• git repository
• Codeberg mirror
• GitHub mirror

The dependencies are:

• libevent
• LibreSSL or OpenSSL
• yacc or GNU bison

Once all the dependencies are installed, building is as easy as:

$ curl -LO https://ftp.omarpolo.com/gmid-2.1.1.tar.gz
$ tar xzvf gmid-2.1.1.tar.gz
$ cd gmid-2.1.1
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install # eventually

A SHA256 file is available. However, it only checks for accidental corruption. You can use signify (gmid-2.1.1.sha256.sig) and the public key gmid-2.1.pub to cryptographically verify the downloaded tarball. The signify public key for the previous and the next release is included in the tarball.

• gmid-2.1.1.sha256
• gmid-2.1.1.sha256.sig

To verify the signatures with signify(1):

% signify -C -p gmid-2.1.pub -x gmid-2.1.1.sha256.sig
Signature Verified
gmid-2.1.1.tar.gz: OK

Git tags are signed with the following ssh key:
