## Install
|
||
|
||
Some distros provide a package — thanks to the maintainers!
|
||
|
||
=> https://repology.org/project/gmid/versions [https] Repology: packaging status for gmid
|
||
|
||
Source code and precompiled binaries for linux are available:
|
||
|
||
=> https://github.com/omar-polo/gmid/releases/download/1.7.5/gmid-1.7.5.tar.gz gmid-1.7.5.tar.gz

||

|
||
=> gemini://git.omarpolo.com/gmid.git/ git repository via Gemini
|
||

||

||

|
||
|
||
When in doubt, compile from source: it’s easy and takes less than a minute on a raspberry pi 3. The dependencies are:
|
||
|
||
* libevent
|
||
* OpenSSL/LibreSSL
|
||
* libtls (from either LibreSSL or LibreTLS)
|
||
* yacc or GNU bison
|
||
|
||
Once all the dependencies are installed, building is as easy as:
|
||
|
||
```Example of how to compile from source
|
||
$ curl -LO https://github.com/omar-polo/gmid/releases/download/1.7.5/gmid-1.7.5.tar.gz
|
||
$ tar xzvf gmid-1.7.5.tar.gz
|
||
$ cd gmid-1.7.5
|
||
$ ./configure
|
||
$ make
|
||
$ sudo make install # eventually
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
A SHA256 file is available. However, that only checks for accidental corruption: you can use signify (SHA256.sig and the public key gmid-1.7.pub) or GPG. The hash of the signify public key is also included in the SHA256 file and thus signed with my GPG. The signify public key for the next release ‘gmid-1.8.pub’ is also included.

|
||
=> https://github.com/omar-polo/gmid/releases/download/1.7.5/SHA256 SHA256.gpg
|
||
=> https://github.com/omar-polo/gmid/releases/download/1.7.5/SHA256.sig SHA256.sig
|
||
|
||
To verify the signatures with signify(1)
|
||
|
||
```Example of how to verify the signature with signify
|
||
$ signify -C -p gmid-1.7.pub -x SHA256.sig
|
||
Signature Verified
|
||
gmid-1.7.pub: OK
|
||
gmid-1.7.5.tar.gz: OK
|
||
gmid-1.8.pub: OK
|
||
gmid.linux.aarch64: OK
|
||
gmid.linux.amd64: OK

|
||
1.7 “Space-dye Vest” — Released July 10, 2021
|
||
|
||
Starting from this version gmid doesn't depend on lex anymore, but yacc is still needed.
|
||
|
||
### New features
|
||
|
||
* initial fastcgi support! (it's still young!)
|
||
* added user-defined macros, either via ‘-Dname=val’ or directly in the configuration file.
|
||
* new ‘include’ keyword to load additional configuration files.
|
||
* new ‘env’ rule to define environment vars for CGI scripts.
|
||
* new ‘alias’ rule to define hostname aliases for a server.
|
||
* allow ‘root’ to be specified per-location block.
|
||
* pidfile support with the new ‘-P’ cli flag.
|
||
* define ‘TLS_VERSION’, ‘TLS_CIPHER’ and ‘TLS_CIPHER_STRENGTH’ for CGI scripts.
|
||
|
||
### Improvements
|
||
|
||
* remove limits on the number of virtual hosts and location blocks that can be defined.
|
||
* print the datetime when logging to stderr.
|
||
* use ‘text/x-patch’ for ‘.patch’ and ‘.diff’ files.
|
||
* sort the auto index alphabetically.
|
||
* various improvements to the log management.
|
||
* drop the dependency on lex.
|
||
* added ‘--help’ as synonym of ‘-h’ and ‘-V’/‘--version‘ to print the version.
|
||
* c-like handling of strings in the configuration file: when two or more strings are next to each-others, are automatically joined into a single string. This is particularly useful with $-macros.
|
||
|
||
### Bug fixes
|
||
|
||
* correctly handle CGI scripts that replies with the maxium header length allowed.
|
||
* fixed the static target.
|
||
* fixed recursive mkdirs for configless mode (i.e. create ‘~/.local/share/gmid’)
|
||
* logs sent to syslog now have proper priority (before every message ended up as LOG_CRIT). Found by Anna “CyberTailor”, thanks!
|
||
* ensure ‘%p’ (path) is always absolute in ‘block return’ rules.
|
||
* fix automatic certificate generation, it caused problems on some adroid devices. Found by Gnuserland, thanks!
|
||
* document the ‘log’ rule.
|
||
* the seccomp filter was reworked and now it's known to work properly on a vast range of architectures (to be more specific: all the architectures supported by alpine linux), see github issue #4. Prompted and tested by @begss, thanks!
|
||
* various improvements to the configure script, notified and fixed by Anna “CyberTailor”, thanks!
|
||
* added a timeout to the regression tests.
|
||
|
||
### Breaking changes
|
||
|
||
* if duplicate rules are found in the configuration file, an error is now raised instead of silently using only the last value.
|
||
* (sort of) ‘gg’ moved to ‘regress’ as it's only used in the regression suite.
|
||
* (notice) the “mime "mime-type" "extension"” rule was deprecated and replaced by the new “map "mime-type" to-ext "extension"”. The ‘mime’ rule will be removed in a future version because its syntax is incompatible with the new string auto-concat mechanism.
