Success!

Great news, I found a plugin for dokku that allows you to proxy arbitrary tcp ports. The bad news, it doesn't work with modern dokku versions. After a quick fork and manual patch, I'm in business! Deploying this capsule is one git push away (I know, I know, backticks don't format inline code in gemtext, but I've got to emphasize that text somehow (heh)).

=> https://github.com/josegonzalez/dokku-nginx-stream

At the end of the day, this capsule is structured like this:

• A subdirectory of posts. The expectation is that the first line is the subtitle of the post. The level-1 heading/title is the post's filename, which should always be a date, formatted YYYY-MM-DD.gmi, sans extension.
• A simple deploy script that reads all the posts, builds an index page out of them, and applies the date-based title (and a brief footer) to each post.

For infrastructure:

• agate server: this was a joy to use
• dokku for deployment on my vps, using a straightforward Dockerfile for config/specification
