Step 1/4 to bring back to life my blog on #gemini : ✅
Still work to do but starting is always the hardest (or maybe it won't be, we'll see).
Step 2 will be the most difficult, step 3 and 4 should go quickly and smoothly.

ETA for bringing my blog back on gemini for real: no idea! :D

Step 2/4 to bring back to life my blog on #gemini : ✅
Step 3/4 to bring back to life my blog on #gemini : In (good) progress

This is going faster than expected :-).
Wouldn't be the case if I didn't find lowdown <3

Bringing my blog back to life on #gemini :

  • Step 1/4: Export orgmode to markdown with yaml frontmatter (instead of toml) ✅
  • Step 2/4: Convert markdown to gemtext, including internal links and images (thanks lowdown) ✅
  • Step 3/4: Automate build of the capsule in my CI/CD pipeline (like I did for my website): ✅
  • Step 4/4: Auto deploy after successful build based on ntfy message (like for my blog): In progress!

There is actually a step 5, which is changing DNS to point to the new server, but that is not worth a line in here :-).

I'm actually very happy that my capsule is now generated with a working blog area with working internal links and images, which weren't the case before! For now, all is deployed in an inaccessible capsule as DNS points to the old one, but looking at the success I had in the past days, I think my blog will be back and up to date on gemini by the end of week!
Never thought that would be that quick, just needed the right level of motivation (and finding lowdown was key too).

@bacardi55 what is your gemini domen now? I know only gemini://gmi.bacardi55.io/ what was last updated a year ago (I guess before your server colapse)
@zordsdavini It is still the same :-). For now, the domain points to the "old" one because I still need to finish a couple of things so it is "hidden". But should replace the old version later this week or next at the latest :).
@bacardi55 c'est tre bien :) I like your writtings and I like to read them in geminispace. I implemented your gemini-mentions RFC
@zordsdavini Oh you did? Funny that I saw some tractions around gemini-mention lately 2 years after the initial idea/RFC :D But it is great to hear/read, thank you!
