I’ll shoot him a message next time he is around and see if we can coordinate something. Not sure how much Pleroma logs. He’s running a big instance so I don’t know how much he can enable before it starts straining the machine or affecting his users.

Will give it a whirl though and let you know if we catch anything.

Hmm, I run HAProxy to do my HTTP(s) proxying / TLS offloading but didn’t think it would work for doing gemini, especially for passing client certs to final server. Will take another look

For nginx you let it bind to the gemini port and handle subdomain routing to pipeline traffic to other servers running on different local ports.

Makes it easy to run gmcapsuled, misfin, and tootik all on one machine without needing to specify ports when accessing each

Ack - sorry folks:

I didn't realize that registration was still open on my server, and it looks like a few folks signed up - problem is that I'm stretched between too many social medias to reliably/effectively moderate a community.

So if you signed up - please migrate your account, sorry!

I've closed registrations properly now, and I'm happy to help with basic questions about how to set up a tootik server of one's own, it's a slight bit of fiddling to get it going, but once it's set up, it's quite easy to run and very low resource requirements :)

Thanks for understanding.

oh yeah - see also my write-up on how I set up nginx so that I could run both tootik and a gemini capsule on the same machine: gemini://gemini.patatas.ca/posts/tootik-capsule-nginx.gmi

Thanks for the link. I just setup the same thing in HAProxy. I just needed the mental shove to realize you could do SNI without doing TLS offloading. For some reason I just assumed it wouldn’t work so didn’t look into it.

— fedi.8by3.net

Now running behind the same router as my main 8by3.net site.

reminder: there's a really nice distraction-less gemini fediverse server type called #tootik by @dimkr . You can do many things that you can via Web and @dimkr is very responsive to feature requests and issues. when I want a relaxing fediverse time I naturally go there. The interface is easy and intuitive and if you're into the open social web you should definitely go to one of the two instances and sign up! the flagship one is in [gemini link] the other one that I know of is [gemini link]
