How does one go about setting up a .onion mirror? Since the server doesn't know what hostname has used to access it, how does it know what host to use in links? | | | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ +--------------------No. 49, 2025-03-19 14:00:24--------------------+ | | | Do you just host a mirror on a different port and point the .onion at that? | | | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ +--------------------No. 50, 2025-03-19 14:04:52--------------------+ | | | Aargh. I can't fix my typos.

You have to provide the cryptographic key (there are instructions) | | | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ +--------------------No. 53, 2025-03-20 00:55:53--------------------+ | | | Oh I see, I read 48 a little further. I guess according to the RFC you would need to put the onion address in the server position. Normally gopher servers fill that in for you, I guess there's a flag to set somewhere. | | | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ +--------------------No. 58, 2025-03-20 13:52:43--------------------+ | | | Yeah, my question was about how the server knows which hostname to use in the links, since there's nothing in the rrquest to tell it which was used. | | | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ +--------------------No. 59, 2025-03-20 13:54:27--------------------+ | | | The only way I can see to do it is to have the .onion version listening on a different port. | | | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ +--------------------No. 61, 2025-03-20 19:58:45--------------------+ | | | regarding the onion thing, I phlogged about doing gopher reverse proxy magic with xinetd | | | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ +--------------------No. 62, 2025-03-20 20:00:23--------------------+ | | | gopher://gopher.someodd.zip:70/0/phlog/gopher-routing.gopher.txt | | | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ +-----------------No. 63, 2025-03-20 20:02:17-----------------+ | | | gopher://someodd.zip:70/0/phlog/gopher-routing.gopher.txt | | | +-------------------------------------------------------------+ +--------------------No. 69, 2025-03-20 23:26:42--------------------+ | | | Both of those links seem to be broken. :( Also, how did you add a link? | | | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ +-----No. 70, 2025-03-20 23:29:47------+ | | | 1Testing... / gopher.club 70 | | | +--------------------------------------+ +--------------------No. 71, 2025-03-21 00:07:52--------------------+ | | | yes I have a bug with my gopher reverse proxy.
