-To read more about Gemini and ways to test out this new protocol without your
-own server, see my previous post [Launching a Gemini
-Capsule](../launching-a-gemini-capsule/).
-
-# Preparation
-
-This guide assumes you have access to a server accessible to the world through a
-public IP address and that you own a domain name used for this Gemini capsule.
-
-# Getting Started with Agate
-
-We are going to use [Agate](https://github.com/mbrubeck/agate) for this
-tutorial. This is a basic Gemini server written in Rust. It takes very little
-time and maintenance to get it running.
-
-# Install Dependencies
-
-First, you will need to install the Rust package for your system. On Ubuntu, use
-the following commands (remember to use `sudo` if you are not the root user).
-The Rust installation will give you options to customize the installation; I
-used the default installation options.
-
-```sh
-sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
-curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
-```
-
-Remember to configure your shell with the new configuration:
-
-```sh
-source $HOME/.cargo/env
-```
-
-Before we install agate, make sure you have the `gcc` package installed:
-
-```sh
-sudo apt install gcc
-```
-
-Next, you'll need to install the agate executable with Rust's Cargo package
-maintainer:
-
-```sh
-cargo install agate
-```
-
-# Create Symlinks
-
-Once Cargo has finished installing all the required packages, symlink the
-executable to your $PATH.
-
-```sh
-sudo ln -s $HOME/.cargo/bin/agate /usr/local/bin/agate
-```
-
-# Using Agate's Built-In Installation Tool
-
-If you're running Ubuntu or Debian, use the Debian installation script found in
-Agate's GitHub repository, under the `tools/debian` folder.
-
-```sh
-git clone https://github.com/mbrubeck/agate
-cd agate/tools/debian
-sudo ./install.sh
-```
-
-# Configure the Gemini Service
-
-We have a little more to do, but since this script tries to immediately run the
-service, it will likely fail with an exit code. Let's add our finishing touches.
-Edit the following file and replace the hostname with your desired URL. You can
-also change the directory where content will be served.
-
-```sh
-sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/gemini.service
-```
-
-```sh
-# Edit these lines to whatever you want - see the next code block for my personal configuration.
-WorkingDirectory=/srv/gemini
-ExecStart=agate --hostname $(uname -n) --lang en
-```
-
-This is my personal config:
-
-```sh
-WorkingDirectory=/var/gemini/
-ExecStart=agate --hostname gemini.example.com --lang en
-```
-
-Since we've altered the systemd configuration files, we have to reload the
-daemon. Let's do that, restart our service, and check its status.
-
-```sh
-sudo systemctl daemon-reload
-sudo systemctl restart gemini.service
-sudo systemctl status gemini.service
-```
-
-# Fixing Systemd Errors
-
-If you're still getting errors, the installation process may not have properly
-enabled the gemini service. Fix it with the following commands.
-
-```sh
-sudo systemctl enable gemini.service
-sudo systemctl restart gemini.service
-sudo systemctl status gemini.service
-```
-
-# Firewall Rules
-
-Great! Our server is now functional and running. The first consideration now is
-that you need to be able to access port 1965 on the server. If you have a
-firewall enabled, you'll need to open that port up.
-
-```sh
-sudo ufw allow 1965
-sudo ufw reload
-```
-
-# Creating Content
-
-Let's create the Gemini capsule. Note that wherever you set the WorkingDirectory
-variable to earlier, Agate will expect you to put your Gemini capsule contents
-in a sub-folder called "content." So, I place my files in "/var/gmi/content."
-I'm going to create that folder now and put a file in there.
-
-```sh
-sudo mkdir /var/gemini/content
-sudo nano /var/gemini/content/index.gmi
-```
-
-You can put whatever you want in the "index.gmi" file, just make sure it's valid
-Gemtext.
-
-# The Results
-
-To view the results, you can use a Gemini browser, such as
-[Lagrange](https://gmi.skyjake.fi/lagrange/) or
-[amfora](https://github.com/makeworld-the-better-one/amfora).
