blizanci
Blizanci is a Gemini protocol server. It is designed primarily for robustness and security.
Features:
- TLS client certificate support
- single-user CGI
- distributed PKI: authorisation by subject or issuer of certificates
- Titan protocol uploads
Prerequisites
You'll need Erlang and Rebar. On a Debian-derived system like Ubuntu, this means installing the rebar3 executable from the rebar3 website, and installing the deb package erlang:
- Rebar3 installation instructions
apt-get install erlang
Config
Currently, a config file is required. In due course, this will become optional.
Create an appropriate sys.config and vm.args file in the config/
directory in the format suggested in the examples in that directory.
You'll also need to put TLS certificates in ssl/certificate.pem and
ssl/key.pem; these locations can be reconfigured, but blizanci will
fail on startup with a badmatch / couldnt_open_pem_file message if
the certificates cannot be read.
Build
$ rebar3 release
Run
$ ./manage.sh start-daemon
Trivia
"blizanci" / "близанци" is Serbo-Croatian for "twins" (i.e., Gemini).
