I want to play around a bit with Gemini and start building my own blog/tutorial site or whatever comes to my mind idk. So any recommendations? (if possible not only based on price, privacy/foss are important principles for me, is there’s something like that).
I use gandi and they’re fine I guess. Do note that on Gemini we use self signed certificated which are trusted on first use (as opposed to how the web uses “certificate authorities”). Its also suggested you set a very long expiration date for your cert, like 100 years. Heres some info about it: https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/tls-tutorial.gmi
You can manually create the certs with
sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 36500 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout /etc/ssl/gemini/private/example.com.key -out /etc/ssl/gemini/certs/example.com.crtor depending on the webserver you pick some of them will automatically generate certs for you on first run. Anyway always cool to see more people getting into gemini! Many of us publish our stuff on gemini://warmedal.se/~antenna/ these daysI bookmarked it! I will give it an eye when possible!
PS: I also love seeing more ppl on gemini so I decided to make my own capsule :)
