gmitohtml/CONFIGURATION.md

gmitohtml loads its configuration from ~/.config/gmitohtml/config.yaml by default. You may specify a different location via the --config argument.

Configuration options

Client certificates

Client certificates may be specified via the Certs option.

To generate a client certificate, run the following:

openssl req -x509 -out localhost.crt -keyout localhost.key \
  -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -sha256 \
  -subj '/CN=localhost' -extensions EXT -config <( \
   printf "[dn]\nCN=localhost\n[req]\ndistinguished_name = dn\n[EXT]\nsubjectAltName=DNS:localhost\nkeyUsage=digitalSignature\nextendedKeyUsage=serverAuth")

Files localhost.crt and localhost.key are generated. Rename these files to match the domain where the certificate will be used.

Allow file:// access

By default, local files are not served by gmitohtml. When executed with the --allow-file argument, local files may be accessed via file://.

For example, to view /home/dioscuri/sites/gemlog/index.gmi, navigate to file:///home/dioscuri/sites/gemlog/index.gmi.

Example config.yaml
