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)).

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
