Re: "Seeking advice on enjoying Geminispace via CLI"
I really like amfora.
I'll say the same as the people before, make sure the configs are good and try another terminal emulator for testing.
Also, when I installed the themes from the github page, I had to make sure the full path was in there when I was testing them out. I'd close amfora, edit the config, check the spelling of the filename, and reopen. tmux helped here.

I added this to my alacritty.toml
Placed a nord.toml file inside a folder named themes in the amfora config.
Added below line to amfora config.toml
It works. :)
It did crash for me when the path to my theme in the amfora config.toml was incorrect.

@Half_Elf_Monk
Thanks for the advice! You're right, resetting to the default and editing step by step seems like a good idea. There’s a chance that multiple factors are overlapping and causing the errors. I'll give it a shot! Thank you!
@sy
Thanks for the advice! Checking the path and… wow, I didn't know you could launch a terminal from within a terminal! It's like a Matryoshka doll (Russian nesting dolls) lol. I never would have thought of that. I'll give it a try! Thank you!

Thanks for the advice! My theme settings were at their defaults, but I wasn't using the full paths, so I'll try changing those and see how it goes. Also, I didn't know about using full paths or tmux, so that’s really helpful! Thank you!

I am so sorry, I accidentally replied to the wrong person earlier!
And thank you so much for actually testing it out for me! I really appreciate you writing out the detailed steps. I’m going to try it right away. Thank you!

Instead of modifying the config, you can also use `alacritty -e amfora`
@sy
Since it can be done with such a short command, I don't think I even need to bother writing it in the config file! Thx!
Thanks, everyone! Everything went perfectly thanks to you all. Now I can finally start my comfy life with Amfora!

...By the way, is it also possible to post on this BBS?

@knshow If you mean post an image here, yes you can do it in the draft composer. The image needs to be smaller than 100 KB, though.
Hi, @skyjake! I'm currently posting to this BBS using Lagrange, but I was wondering if it's also possible to post from a terminal browser like Amfora.
🌆 skyjake [mod...] · 20 hours ago:
@knshow Sure, you can use any Gemini client that supports client certificates to post here.
with Amfora you have to split your pem certificate from Lagrange into its two parts and specify the locations in the config file for each site. I think there's an example on amfora's wiki. it's cumbersome but not too bad once you get it set up, especially if you only use certs on a few sites.
@skyjake Thank you! I'll check my client certificate settings.
@gritty omg, thank you so much for explaining how to do it! You're an absolute lifesaver. ily <3
Original Post
Seeking advice on enjoying Geminispace via CLI — Hi everyone. I’m currently using QTerminal as my main terminal, but I’m trying to set up Alacritty specifically for exploring Geminispace with Amfora. (I've only ever used GUI browsers before.) I’ve been trying to customize the colors to my liking, but I’m having trouble. I believe I need to coordinate the settings between Alacritty's alacritty.toml and Amfora's config.toml, but it keeps crashing (force-closing). Following advice from Gemini AI,…
