Fix copyright header on files
Add freebsd-cross bundle target
Fix build script
Stargazer is a fast and easy to use Gemini server with no runtime dependencies (if compiled with musl libc).
Heavily inspired by gmnisrv.
There are various installation methods, take your pick.
docker pull zethra/stargazer
Docker Hub
You can download pre-built Linux binaries from the release page. The bundle contains a static binary, example config, and man pages. It should work on any distro.
cargo install stargazer
Dependencies:
git clone https://git.sr.ht/~zethra/stargazer && cg stargazer
./scripts/build
# As root
./scripts/install --prefix=/usr
If crates.io is inaccessible, Stargazer's dependencies for each release are
also available on the release page. Simply download the vendor tar ball,
extract it in the project root, and follow the instructions in the
INSTRUSTIONS
file.
The required Rust version will not change between patch versions.
Stargazer officially supports Linux and FreeBSD. It will likely work on other BSDs, MacOS, Windows, and other platforms that its dependencies support but it's not currently tested on those platforms. Other free platforms may be officially supported in the future if there are sufficient requests for them. Patches to support other platforms likely will be accepted though.
Configure stargazer by editing it's config file, normally found at
/etc/stargazer.ini
. See stargazer(1) for CLI
options and stargazer.ini(5) for configuration
instructions.
Stargazer should be reasonably secure. I used it myself and I've tested it quite a bit. However, Stargazer has been almost exclusively written by one person and hasn't gone through any formal code review or audit so keep that in mind.
Do be mindful if you use CGI scripts. It can be easy to write them incorrectly such that they cause security problems. Especially if they are written in POSIX shell.
Stargazer would serve files from anywhere on the file system if a path starting
with //
was requested.
