mollyb

mollyb is a basic gemini protocol server written in java, without dependencies.

supported features

• serves .gmi files

• automatically looks for index.gmi in a directory

• uses TLS (1.2 or 1.3)

• serves media files of type image/jpeg, image/png and image/gif

• serves feed/xml files

• writes a basic access log (if so configured)

• returns a decent "File not found" page if file or path does not exist

currently unsupported features

• does not handle interactive stuff (not so likely to be added)

setup

basics

Assuming you have some recent JDK and maven installed:

• clone the repository

• inside the folder, run

mvn package

TLS

The server does not directly work with pem files. To help you convert your fullchain.pem and privkey.pem into a .jks (java keystore) file, see the certifcates.sh in the scripts/ folder.

configuration

• Copy the config/config.ini-dist file to config/config.ini

• Set the required parameters, such as the path to your webroot

starting the server

java -jar target/mollyb-server.jar /path/to/your/config.ini

Does it work?

Sort of, yes.
