gophernicus for Debian ---------------------- The default document root is /srv/gopher/ [0]. The gophernicus package does not create this directory; system administrators must do so. A sample gophermap which can be placed at /srv/gopher/gophermap is included at /usr/share/doc/gophernicus/examples/gophermap . By default, gophernicus is controlled by systemd. In this configuration, the start-up options are controlled by editing /etc/default/gophernicus. It is also possible to control gophernicus using inetd or xinetd. In either of these cases, the file /etc/default/gophernicus is not used. To use either inetd or xinetd, you should disable systemd support: systemctl disable gophernicus.socket To enable gophernicus support in inetd, you should run the following: update-inetd --enable gopher kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid` To enable gophernicus support in xinetd, you should edit the file /etc/xinetd.d/gophernicus and restart xinetd. [0]: This deviation from upstream's default of /var/gopher is to comply with Debian Policy §9.1.1, and Filesystem Hierarchy Standard §5.1 and §3.17.1. -- Ryan Kavanagh Tue, 09 Feb 2021 10:11:11 -0400
