+## Configuration
+
+gmid has a rich configuration file, heavily inspired by OpenBSD'
+httpd.  While you should definitely check the manpage because it
+documents every option in depth, here's an example of what gmid can
+do.
+
+```conf
+ipv6 on     # enable ipv6
+
+server "example.com" {
+    cert "/path/to/cert.pem"
+    key  "/path/to/key.pem"
+    root "/var/gemini/example.com"
+    lang "it"
+    cgi  "/cgi/*"

+    location "/files/*" {
+        auto index on
+    }
