Gemini IPFS Gateway

Install and user

Install the dependencies and clone the repo:

apt-get install git python3-venv
git clone https://github.com/JonStratton/geminipfs
cd geminipfs

Optionally make a venv and install the python requirements (gemeaux and requests):

python3 -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Generate certificates in the directory where geminipfs.py runs from:

openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -new -nodes -x509 -days 3650 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -subj "/CN=localhost" -addext "subjectAltName=IP:127.0.0.1"

Optional, run the ipfs daemon. If not, the text will be pulled from https://ipfs.io/ipfs/

ipfs daemon

Start geminipfs

python3 ./geminipfs.py

Run a gemini client point it at gemini://127.0.0.1/ipfs/ plus the hash:

amfora gemini://127.0.0.1/ipfs/QmSZ5rn5f9TMp3e9xfEGSFEnoFG3rxBros3H5zWgLWuWA2

Optionally open gateway to the network. Create a cert with the resolvable name and run with an IP to listen on (0.0.0.0 for all). Warning; this hasn't been security tested:

openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -new -nodes -x509 -days 3650 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -subj "/CN=localhost" -addext "subjectAltName=DNS:localhost,DNS:`hostname`,DNS:`hostname`.lan,IP:127.0.0.1"
python3 geminipfs.py --ip 0.0.0.0

Adding a gemini site to ipfs
