Atlas

the launch rocket of the gemini capsule

C# / NET 8
zero dependencies
Linux and Windows - x86, x64 and ARM

Features

Docker Support
Automatic certificate generation
Analythics
Server-side animations on supported clients (eg. Lagrange) DEMO: gemini://her.st/
Built-in special tokens (see below)
vhosts
- Per Location Configuration
  - directory listing
- JSON config file
Configurable Default Mime Types
tsv Mimetype map
gemini:// with titan:// file uploads*
spartan:// file uploads and downloads*
CGI interface compatible with jetforce
- CGI streaming (for things like gemini://chat.mozz.us/)

*Still WIP

Built-in Special Tokens

Token	Replaced With
%%{sub}%%	Gemini: Subject Name of the Client Cert (without CN=) - if any - otherwise 'Anon'. For Spartan it always returns 'Spartan'
%%{host}%%	FQDN - eg: her.st
%%{path}%%	requested path - eg: /index.gmi
%%{scheme}%%	protocol of request - eg: spartan / gemini
%%{date}%%	YYYY-MM-DD - eg: 2024-03-30
%%{time}%%	HH:mm:ss - eg: 21:04:25
%%{datetime}%%	YYYY-MM-DD HH-mm-ss - eg: 2024-03-30 21:04:25
%%{rendertime}%%	Milliseconds - eg: 0.59
%%{ls}%%	Create Directory Index

Example

Gemtext	Rendered
Sub: %%{sub}%%	Sub: Alumniminium
Host: %%{host}%%	Host: localhost
Path: %%{path}%%	Path: /index.gmi
Scheme: %%{scheme}%%	Scheme: gemini
Date: %%{date}%%	Date: 2024-04-01
Time: %%{time}%%	Time: 11:32:41
Datetime: %%{datetime}%%	Datetime: 2024-04-01 11:32:41
Render Time: %%{rendertime}%%	Render Time: 4564.80
%%{ls}%%	=> gemini://localhost//index.gmi 2024-04-01 \| 0.00mb \| index.gmi
	=> gemini://localhost//localhost.pfx 2024-03-30 \| 0.00mb \| localhost.pfx

Roadmap (in no particular order)

FastCGI
Use single Docker volume
Caching
~~certificate validation~~ DONE IN v0.3 (April 1st 2024)
rate limiting
proper networking with SocketAsyncEventArgs
Inline Server Sided Scripts using %%{exec scriptname}%%
Assign "Owner" Cert in Capsule config to allow editing of files via TITAN:// in-client

Sample configuration with all options

A minimal config file will be autogenerated if none is found. this one is just an advanced example
