I keep seeing gemini capsules without an RSS feed and whatnot, so I thought I’d share my standard setup. There’s not much to it.

It’s a python script which takes dates and tags from the markdown metadata, then uses that to order the RSS feed (future dates are simply not published) and uses the tags to create topics.gmi files, with a list of all the articles which have that tag.

The basic example is here:

git clone ssh://soft.dmz.rs:2222/capsule.com

It requires fortune, make (optional), md2gemini, and gematom to run.

fortune is in all the Linux repos, and md2gemini can be installed with pip. Unfortunately, gematom will need to be installed from the AUR or built from source (I have instructions in the doc, but I’ve not tested them very well).

But if getting gematom working goes smoothly, the rest is simple - just type make.
