<p>‘/nɛmɪnaɪ/’ Nem-in-eye</p> <h3 id="a-simple-gemini-server">A simple Gemini server</h3> <p>Nemini is a simple Gemini server with static file serving, virtual host and alias support. “Simple” in the way it is, hopefully, simple to configure and use with minimal knowledge of web servers in general. You probably need to be familiar with TOML configuration files, but other than that the server should run fairly easily.</p>
