  • RSS/Atom-Feed: which protocol and port?

    From zeitverschreib@zeitverschreib.usenet@emailsammelordner.de to comp.infosystems.gemini on Tue Apr 7 19:04:26 2026
    From Newsgroup: comp.infosystems.gemini

    I'm currently working on a small static site generator for my gemlog.
    Which means that I'm abusing LibreOffice Calc and some Basic script to
    create .gmi files from the content of a sheet.

    Quick'n'Dirty doesn't even come close to describe the abominations I'm
    putting together.

    Anyhow...

    While I'm at it, I'd also like to include a feed for subscription in a standard feed reader. And there the questions begin.

    Is there any way to serve a feed.xml via e.g. Agate on port 1965? Or do I
    have to set up NGINX and provide the .xml via 80/443?

    How do other people do this?

    Thanks in advance for any hints.

    "standard feed reader"? Do you mean the feed reader in some gemini
    client? Or a feed reader that works through HTTP?

    Is there any way to serve a feed.xml via e.g. Agate on port 1965? Or do I have to set up NGINX and provide the .xml via 80/443?

    Agate will serve .xml files, or any another other kind of file, over the
    Gemini protocol, and by default will use the standard port 1965.


    How do other people do this?


    My gemlog just provides a gemfeed, which is sufficient for all gemini
    feed readers out there. It sounds like you want to provide an Atom feed instead, which is certainly an option, but it is unclear why you want to
    do that or what your goal is.

    I was actually thinking of an HTTP reader, but now that you mention it: I
    only just found out that LaGrance has a feed option.

    feed readers out there. It sounds like you want to provide an Atom feed instead, which is certainly an option, but it is unclear why you want to

    I wanted to provide a subscribeable feed of new gemlog entries for people outside the Gemini protocol, but now I will also take a look the this
    gemfeed thing I didn't know about. :-)

    Thanks.

    I think this could be it:

    You gemfeed format is correct. I've subscribed to it.

    I use gempost to generate my gemlogs, and it generates an atom file which
    I serve using vger, for example:

    gemini://scandinavianretro.eu/posts/atom.xml
