gmid is a fast, small, and secure Gemini server. It uses libtls (a GREAT tls library from the OpenBSD folks) to serve static content and execute CGI scripts.

GitHub mirror (https://github.com)

You can fetch the code with git:

git clone https://git.omarpolo.com/gmid

or via the github mirror:

Future plans

This is mostly a TODO/wish list of things, just to get an idea of what I'm gonna do (and to remind to myself too).

• different logging styles
• listen only on specific IPs
• customize error messages
