View submission: Isn't there an easy way to self-host a Gemini server?

I wonder if gemini could leverage existing hosting tech, such as ssh, or even no server at all to make it much easier to deploy on a local network.

supertxt, for example, makes use of cli commands like cats that are sshla that work local as well as they do remote over ssh using your existing ssh creds and configuration.

Also, it would be great if it servers can generate their own config files with sane defaults, including the encryption keys. This is what the conserv server does, although it's ssh tech instead of tls.

Cloudron is an easy way to deploy. It is one-click. What is needed is a Docker image of the application, in this case, a Docker of a Gemini server like molly-brown. That then needs a little tweaking to make it work with Cloudron and then people can one-click deploy.

There is a demo of what it would be like on the main cloudron site:
