Re: "Yet Another Gemini Server Announcement"

it _should_, although I admit I haven't tested that

ok, I'm wrong about it, I think one of the checks for vhosts is a bit too strong right now, will address this upcoming week

@tenno-seremel wait, actually, what is the reason to have IP-based capsule?

I mean, I looked at Lupa database, there are no hosts there that are using IPs.

Besides that, the check I've added is because of this statement in the gemini spec:

"5. the use of an IP address in the authority section SHOULD NOT be used."

Are there any capsules that are IP-only? (What's the use case? are they indexed anywhere?)

Sites running over Yggdrasil network do not usually have domain names. And, IMO, current DNS system is too susceptible to disruptions by outside players.

@tenno-seremel I actually fixed and tested IPv4 already, ( https://codeberg.org/gim913/yags/commit/6f47a19b2bf21989026a39e3e024314e4e762066 ), this actually fixed some minor bug as well (when resolving but non-matching dns name was used). Althought v0.2.0 will have it's tag at some later point.

I still need to test if IPv6-based hostnames will work properly.

@tenno-seremel seem that after change mentioned earlier, ipv6 should also work, I was able to test it on link-local interface:

to bind to all (ipv6) interfaces set

Bind = "[::]"

and hostname in servers section to ipv6 addr:

Hostname = "[fe80::9656:d028:8652:66b6]"

I _assume_ it would be nice to set CN in cert to that address as well. Although I'm not sure how clients should be handling that anyway (in context of TOFU I mean).

Anyway, simple script I got `getgem 'gemini://[fe80::9656:d028:8652:66b6]/'` seems to properly connect and retrieve the content

Yet Another Gemini Server Announcement — Hello, I think I can finally share initial version of a server I've been working on. Version 0.1.1 supports: virtual servers (and per-server certificates) certificate zones CGIs, SCGIs and FastCGI for dynamic content user directories [https link] It seems I have also succesfully switched my capsule from "Molly Brown" to YAGS 🎊
