Make sure your dns is in order. My domain name is malinfreeborn.com, so put your own in there.

Install agate by placing the binary somewhere or (on Arch):

yay -S agate

sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/gemini/{certs,gemini}

sudo useradd gemini -d /usr/share/gemini

sudo chown -R gemini:gemini /usr/share/gemini

sudo su gemini

cd

echo 'Hello Gemworld!' > gemini/index.gmi

Make a service file.

sudo vim /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/agate.service

Start agate once to make the certificates.
