pyGopherd

pyGopherd provide the gopher protocol which was an alternate to the commonly know world wide web in its early days. Clients are available for a variety of older systems and as such we have provided the option here

We have implemented a python3 compatible fork from Michael Lazar

Caveats

The configuration is setup with the hostname retronas you may need to create a host record on your network to browse depending on how your client works

If you get a message similar to Cannot connect to host retronas, port 70 that means your client is not able to resolve the hostname retronas, unfortunately turning off the servername option in the configuration and letting it auto determine the hostname for the RetroNAS has similar issues so the only solution (for now) is create a host record on your network.
