Gack helps you build Gemini protocol applications with Ruby.
Install gem:
gem install gack
Build an app:
require 'gack'
class App < Gack::Application
route '/' do
'Hello, World!'
end
end
App.run!Gemini requires TLS handshakes. Gack does not do TLS handshakes. You need to setup a TLS terminator. I use Nginx. Below is some quick information on how you might begin to use Nginx to terminate TLS.
Generate a self-signed .crt and .key. Example:
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout localhost.key -nodes -x509 -out localhost.crt -subj "/CN=localhost"
Nginx will be used for the TLS handshake and termination:
stream {
upstream backend {
# change this to reflect what port your Gack server is running on (default is 6565)
server localhost:6565;
}
server {
# 1965 is the default Gemini protocol port
listen 1965 ssl;
proxy_pass backend;
# change these to match the directory and filename of your crt and key
ssl_certificate /your/localtion/to/certs/localhost.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /your/localtion/to/localhost.key;
ssl_protocols TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
ssl_ciphers ECDH+AESGCM:ECDH+AES256:ECDH+AES128:DH+3DES:!ADH:!AECDH:!MD5;
ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:20m;
ssl_session_timeout 4h;
ssl_handshake_timeout 20s;
}
}
