Mirror (almost) all http(s) site to gmi.

Posted on 2022-01-01

Ever wanted to view (almost) the entirety of the web using your favorite gemini browser? Wait no more, this is now possible using html2gmi and a little cgi script.

The project repository

jetforce for cgi

How can you use it?

You will need to host it yourself. I will not make the service public for the following reasons:

I have no server

I do not want the entirety of the web to be indexed by a search engine

I do not want any legal trouble when something copyrighted is synced

Mainly for the second reason you should also not make this public without informing geminispace.info

The most popular search engine on gemini

Therefore you have to self host this, but it is not that difficult. Just follow the steps in the README of the project.

The future

There are still many things that need to be done:

More templates.

Mirror a search engine (maybe search.brave.com?).

More improvements inside html2gmi itself.
