Furthermore, on .Ox , .Xr pledge 2 and .Xr unveil 2 are used to ensure that .Nm dosen't do anything else than read files from the given directory, accept network connections and, optionally, execute CGI scripts. .Pp It should be noted that .Nm is very simple in its implementation, and so it may not be appropriate for serving sites with lots of users. After all, the code is single threaded and use a single process, although it can handle multiple requests concurrently. .Pp If a user request path is a directory, .Nm will try to serve a .Pa index.gmi file inside that directory. .Pp The options are as follows: .Bl -tag -width 12m .It Fl c Ar cert.pem The certificate to use, by default is .Pa cert.pem . .It Fl d Ar docs The root directory to serve. .Nm won't serve any file that is outside that directory. By default is .Pa docs . .It Fl h Print the usage and exit. .It Fl k Ar key.pem The key for the certificate, by default is .Pa key.pem . .It Fl l Ar logfile log to the given file instead of the standard error. .It Fl p Ar port The port to bind to, by default 1965. .It Fl x Ar dir Enable execution of CGI scripts inside the given directory (relative to the document root.) Cannot be provided more than once. .El .Sh CGI When CGI scripts are enabled for a directory, a request for an executable file will execute it and fed its output to the client. .Pp The CGI scripts will inherit the environment from .Nm with these additional variables set: .Bl -tag -width 18m .It Ev SERVER_SOFTWARE "gmid" .It Ev SERVER_PORT "1965" .It Ev SCRIPT_NAME The (public) path to the script. .It Ev SCRIPT_EXECUTABLE The full path to the executable. .It Ev REQUEST_URI The user request (without the query parameters.) .It Ev REQUEST_RELATIVE The request relative to the script. .It Ev QUERY_STRING The query parameters. .It Ev REMOTE_HOST The remote IP address. .It Ev DOCUMENT_ROOT The root directory being served, the one provided with the .Ar d parameter to .Nm .El .Pp Let's say you have a script in .Pa /cgi-bin/script and the user request is .Pa /cgi-bin/script/foo/bar?quux . Then .Ev SCRIPT_NAME will be .Pa /cgi-bin/script , .Ev SCRIPT_EXECUTABLE will be .Pa $DOCUMENT_ROOT/cgi-bin/script , .Ev REQUEST_URI will be .Pa /cgi-bin/script/foo/bar , .Ev REQUEST_RELATIVE will be .Pa foo/bar and .Ev QUERY_STRING will be .Ar quux . .Sh EXAMPLES To quickly getting started .Bd -literal -offset indent $ # generate a cert and a key $ openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.pem \\ -out cert.pem -days 365 -nodes $ mkdir docs $ cat < docs/index.gmi # Hello world test paragraph... EOF $ gmid -c cert.pem -k key.pem -d docs .Ed .Pp Now you can visit gemini://localhost/ with your preferred gemini client. .Pp To add some CGI scripts, assuming a setup similar to the previous example, you can .Bd -literal -offset indent $ mkdir docs/cgi-bin $ cat < docs/cgi-bin/hello-world #!/bin/sh printf "20 text/plain\\r\\n" echo "hello world!" EOF $ gmid -x cgi-bin .Ed .Pp Note that the argument to the .Fl x option is .Pa cgi-bin and not .Pa docs/cgi-bin , since it's relative to the document root. .Sh CAVEATS .Bl -bullet .It it doesn't support virtual hosts: the host part of the request URL is completely ignored. .It it doesn't fork in the background or anything like that. .El
