ereandel

A Gemini web browser using shell script

Installing

Debian and Archlinux have packages that can be installed via their package system, see the next section if you want.

You can also move the file ereandel to a folder in your PATH variable, or run make install, by default it will be installed into ~/.local/bin. Use PREFIX to override the install location, e.g.

Packages

I'm not the maintainer of the distro packages for this project, if you want to package please go ahead. Currently Ereandel is packaged for:

• Archlinux AUR thanks to guzzisti
• Debian Sid and testing thanks to Akash Doppalapudi

Packages can be found and installed using your distro's package system.

Status

Using

Start browsing by running ereandel with an optional URL:

ereandel gemini://rawtext.club:1965/~sloum/spacewalk.gmi

ereandel

Client certificates

ereandel can work with client certificates if capsules requires them for authentication.

ereandel allows a single client certificate per (sub)domain identified by it's name. If a client cert for a specific domain is available ereandel will send it to the server with every request.

When a resource requires a client cert and ereandel can't find one it will show you a command to create a client cert for the capsule. The certificates are stored in ~/.config/ereandel/certs/.

To remove a certificate simply delete the <domain>.crt and <domain>.key files in the directory mentioned above.
