Hellgate is an extensible, general purpose http->gemini mirror with full javascript support

Requirements

sudo apt install libgtk2.0-0 libgconf-2-4 (if you're on debian, other distros idk)
sudo apt install xvfb (again, on debian)
git clone https://tildegit.org/sose/hellgate
cd hellgate
sudo npm install -g electron --unsafe-perm=true
npm install
./gen_cert
npm start or xvfb-run npm start
- The server will listen on localhost:1965 by default

By default, more complex sites that are rendered by hellgate are not very pretty, and sometimes downright unreadable
For this, users can create website specific 'sigils' to display content in a certain way, or to automate certain actions on a website
Sigils are located in the sigils dir and are titled with the domain name of their corresponding website
See writing sigils for more info on how to write sigils and how they work
If you write a new sigil for a specific website, don't hesitate to send it as a pull request to this repo

As of right now the npm version of gemini-server is broken, use the version from github or this will not work
