I can only speak to how I use it. I have Tor installed on a PI 5. I configure the SOCKS5 proxy in Alhena to use the Tor SOCKS5 port. I check the box to only use the proxy for .onion addresses (as you can use Tor for all your gemini/spartan/nex/http surfing if you really want anonymity).
That's Alhena though. I believe there are ways to make this work in Lagrange and other clients without SOCKS5 support.
For the server (running on a PI 3), I also have Tor installed and a config file that tells it to serve my super secret onion address from port 1965 on that device. At the moment, I can't remember how the address was initially generated but there are some docs out there. It was pretty simple.
I also use this configuration to visit HTTP Tor sites. If it's basic HTML, Alhena renders it just fine and you don't have to worry about about installing a Tor approved browser or things like JS exploits, etc.

Lupa And Onion — When I checked the logs on the PI running my super secret onion site, I noticed a request for robots.txt from the Lupa search engine. Sure enough, Lupa now lists Gemini .onion addresses. [gemini link] Lupa [gemini link] Dispatches From The Apocalypse
