One-line ncat Gemini server

ncat --ssl -l -k -p 1965 -c "/usr/bin/echo -e \"20 text/gemini\r\nhi\r\n\""

Then go to gemini://localhost/ to view. It should display "hi".

If you would like to create a certificate for your server instead of having it generate a new one every time (and thus get security warnings every time) you can do the following:

1) Create a certificate in Lagrange called localhost (or whatever the name of your server is.)

2) Click on it and choose "Show in File Manager".

3) copy it somewhere and rename the file that ends in .crt to a.crt and the file that ends in .key to a.key.

4) Type the following in the terminal.

Then go to gemini://localhost/ to view. It should display "hi".

If you'd like to make an HTTPS web server instead:

Then go to https://localhost:9965/ in a web browser.
