As promised, I have implemented a Gemini server in C11 for POSIX
systems: gmnisrv.
gemini://drewdevault.com/gmnisrv.gmi
gmnisrv is a high-performance server which requires next to no
configuration. You just write a file like this:
listen=0.0.0.0:1965 [::]:1965
[:tls]
store=/var/lib/gemini/certs
organization=gmnisrv user
[example.org]
root=/srv/gemini/example.org
[example.com]
root=/srv/gemini/example.com
Stick it in /etc/gmnisrv.ini, start the daemon, and you're done. It
automatically generates and rotates certificates for you.
The only dependencies are a C11 compiler, a POSIX-like system, and
OpenSSL*. It clocks in at about 3,000 lines of code. In the future, I
would like to add support for some simple URL rewrites and reverse proxy
support.
* I actually mean OpenSSL when I say it, not LibreSSL or GNUTLS or
anything else.

Enjoy!
