Gack

Gack helps you build Gemini protocol applications with Ruby.

Usage

Install gem:

gem install gack

Build an app:

require 'gack'

class App < Gack::Application
  route '/' do
    'Hello, World!'
  end
end

App.run!

TLS

Gemini requires TLS handshakes. Gack does not do TLS handshakes. You need to setup a TLS terminator. I use Nginx. Below is some quick information on how you might begin to use Nginx to terminate TLS.

Certs

Generate a self-signed .crt and .key. Example:

openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout localhost.key -nodes -x509 -out localhost.crt -subj "/CN=localhost"

Nginx

Nginx will be used for the TLS handshake and termination:

stream {

  upstream backend {
    # change this to reflect what port your Gack server is running on (default is 6565)
    server localhost:6565;
  }

  server {
    # 1965 is the default Gemini protocol port
    listen 1965 ssl;
    proxy_pass backend;

    # change these to match the directory and filename of your crt and key
    ssl_certificate     /your/localtion/to/certs/localhost.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /your/localtion/to/localhost.key;

    ssl_protocols TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;

    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
    ssl_ciphers ECDH+AESGCM:ECDH+AES256:ECDH+AES128:DH+3DES:!ADH:!AECDH:!MD5;

    ssl_session_cache    shared:SSL:20m;
    ssl_session_timeout  4h;

    ssl_handshake_timeout 20s;
  }
}
