I see that gophernicus has some ways to run a 'virtual server'
which isn't working right now on my server
(lucid.observer and l0tek.press both run on my server)
I was told that using nginx reverse proxy wouldn't help either,
as gopher would have a 'domain' in the url requests.
What other ways could be use to run 2 gopher server on the same
machine? I tried to follow gophernicus virtual domain / server
but that didn't work. Not sure what I did wrong there, I've
setup the 2 domain / home in /var/gopher/...

Hi everybody
First all excuse my poor english. It's not my first language.
I have installed and configured gophernicus on my debian server (my root is /srv/gopher/)
I can access my gophermap locally via lynx. Everything working!
But I can't access via gopher://myip from outside the server!
Do I need to configure anything else?
Thanks for any direction.

Hello, I installed and launched the Gophernicus server on Linux Debian i686.
I managed to get CGI scripting working. However, I have a problem with passing parameters to the CGI script via itemtype=7.
I don't know how to configure the server to make it work. I tried to apply the information from https://boston.conman.org/2020/01/06.1 but it didn't help.
My server address: gopher://dyn.tuffo.ovh
I make the following call in the gophermap file:
7->Witaj - wprowadzv swoje imieq /cgi-bin/hello.cgi? dyn.tuffo.ovh 70
The script I want to pass a parameter to is as follows hello.cgi:
(the script is executable)
#!/bin/sh
NAME="$1"
echo "iHello $NAME - welcome to $HOSTNAME"
exit 0
Please help.
I'm trying to set a gopher server for the first time. However nothing
seems to work!
First I plan to Reconfigure all the stuff on the command line.

Hi all,
Gophernicus 3.1.1 is a small build system fix release that makes various
configurations and listeners work correctly and makes it more clear as
to what extra steps are required by the user in this version (3.1 and
up). Also, it makes it obvious that a listener was required, whereas the
configure script would previously erroneously succeed even when no
listener was given.
Changes:
* Fix various build system issues
* Add better install messages
Binaries are not being recreated for this release, as there is no
difference between 3.1 and 3.1.1 binaries.
This release completely supersedes 3.1.
Please contact fosslinux at gophernicus(a)gophernicus.org or on
irc.freenode.net#gophernicus if you encounter any further issues.
There is currently a warning when gophernicus is built without libwrap
support on some system configurations. This warning is harmless.
- fosslinux and the Gophernicus developers
Hi all,
I am very happy to release Gophernicus version 3.1. A large number of
changes have been made since the last release, including:
* OpenBSD pledge and unveil support.
* A new filetypes system.
* -nH to disable HTTP responses.
* A new build system.
* A manual page.
* An official Debian package coming in the next stable release of Debian!
* A wide variety of bug fixes.
Please note that the way in which Gophernicus is built and installed has
changed significantly. It now uses a more traditional `./configure &&
make && make install` setup, with a hand-written configure script, that
attempts to emulate autotools to an extent. Please note that a
`--listener` argument is required. As you may be aware, Gophernicus does
not listen to a port. It requires a tool such as systemd, inetd or
xinetd to work and pass through requests to Gophernicus. In the past,
this was auto-detected in the Makefile, but often poorly and not
portably. The option to autodetect is still there, but you must be
explicit about it, by using `--listener=autodetect`. Otherwise, choose a
listener using the same argument, for example `--listener=systemd`.
For clarity, this is an example install:
```
./configure --listener=xinetd
make
sudo make install
```
The previous build system did not support parallelization, but the new
one does. You can pass `-jx` to make now.
Thanks to the work of @ryanakca, we will now have a Debian package
available just in time for the next stable release of Debian
(hopefully!). If you are a deb package user, note that we have removed
the debian packaging scripts from the repository, to allow downstream to
manage this. You have 3 options.
* wait for the official Debian package to come into your repositories
and apt will handle the rest. You will not need to do anything but will
not have the 3.1 release for a number of months.
* compile and install manually, preferably to /usr/local or /opt as not
to mess with the system package; when the new Debian package comes, you
can easily remove the manual install.
* take the Debian package scripts from the downstream repository and
manually create a package, once these scripts are complete. This
document will be edited when this occurs.
Along with this release we are now distributing binaries. They are:
* An x86_64 glibc binary, linked against glibc 2.30.
* An x86_64 static binary.
* An x86_64 musl-linked binary (1.1 series).
* An AARCH64 glibc binary, linked against glibc 2.30.
* An AARCH64 static binary.
These are available here.
https://github.com/gophernicus/gophernicus/releases/tag/3.1.
I would like to thank all these contributors, especially those who made
quite significant changes, particularly @augfab (proper manual page,
`-nH`) and @vext01 (OpenBSD pledge and unveil support), as well as
@hb9kns (Gophernicus maintainer).

Hi all!
I have just released the first (and probably final) Release Candidate
for Gophernicus version 3.1. This brings a host of improvements to
gophernicus, notably including:
- OpenBSD pledge and unveil support.
- A new filetypes system.
- `-nH` to disable HTTP responses.
- A new build system.
- A manual page.
- An official Debian package coming in the next stable release for 3.1!
- A wide variety of bug fixes.
I would really appreciate testing, especially of the new build system.
You can get sources and binaries here:
https://github.com/gophernicus/gophernicus/releases/tag/3.1rc1.
Please read INSTALL.md, the process has changed (you now need to run
`./configure` first).
If you are a deb package user, please either:
1. wait for the official Debian package to come into your repositories
and apt will handle the rest.
2. if you want the new releases sooner, please compile and install
manually, preferably to `/usr/local` or `/opt` as not to mess with the
system package. Then, when the new Debian package comes, you can easily
remove the manual install.
Along with this release we are now distributing binaries. There are
currently two binaries, and there will be more added for the final
release. The current two are:
1. An x86_64 glibc binary, linked against glibc 2.30, without libwrap.
2. An x86_64 static binary, which will work on any system, even running
alternative libcs or older versions of glibc, without libwrap.

Hi all,
Gophernicus v3.0.1 has been released.
Changelog:
* add installation notes to git checkout before installing
* fix typo in debian packaging (fixes `make deb`)
* update docs to reflect new changes
* fix indenting and typos in docs
This is mainly to fix `make deb` which didn't work in v3.0.
There is no pressing need to upgrade, but you may like to anyway.
