Host an agate or other server to provide Gemini variant of "exopages", e.g under /srv/gemini/

Edit: we might also want to proxy it to http

I have mixed feelings about the Gemini protocol, mainly due to technical reasons (see https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/05/28/the-gemini-protocol-seen-by-this-http-client-person/ for more details). I guess I don't really understand the point of Gemini very well. It just seems like you can accomplish the same thing by writing some Markdown, using md2html or whatever to convert it to HTML, and then serve it with any old HTTP server. But maybe I'm just missing the point of Gemini.

Anyways, if a lot of people are interested in Gemini, I can consider opening the port 1965 used by Gemini and hosting a server.
