# Swift-Gopher
[](https://swiftpackageindex.com/navanchauhan/swift-gopher)
[](https://swiftpackageindex.com/navanchauhan/swift-gopher)
* swift-gopher : Gopher server implementation written in Swift
* swiftGopherClient: Gopher client library written in Swift ( w/ Support for Network.Framework on Apple platforms)
This package also provides GopherHelpers which may be useful while building a client. A PoC client for iOS/macOS/iPadOS called `iGopherBrowser` uses both `GopherHelpers` and `swiftGopherClient`
You can interact with my hosted gopher server at [gopher://gopher.navan.dev](gopher://gopher.navan.dev) or [https://gopher.navan.dev](https://gopher.navan.dev)
```
USAGE: swift-gopher [--gopher-host-name <gopher-host-name>] [--host <host>] [--port <port>] [--gopher-data-dir <gopher-data-dir>] [--disable-search] [--disable-gophermap]
OPTIONS:
-g, --gopher-host-name <gopher-host-name>
Hostname used for generating selectors (default: localhost)
-h, --host <host> (default: 0.0.0.0)
-p, --port <port> (default: 8080)
-d, --gopher-data-dir <gopher-data-dir>
Data directory to map (default: ./example-gopherdata)
--disable-search Disable full-text search feature
--disable-gophermap Disable reading gophermap files to override automatic generation
-h, --help
```
## Get Started
```
git clone https://github.com/navanchauhan
cd swift-gopher
swift build -c release && swift run swift-gopher
```
Then, you can either use lynx or curl (or other Gopher clients) to connect to the server.
```
lynx gopher://localhost:8080
# Or,
curl gopher://localhost:8080
```
**Note: Depending on user privileges, you may not be able to bind to port 70.**
To give privilege to the binary on Linux, you can use the following command:
```bash
sudo setcap CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE=+eip ./.build/release/swift-gopher
```
## Deploying
### Systemd
Sample systemd file:
```
[Unit]
Description=Swift-Gopher
[Service]
ExecStart=/home/swift-gopher/swift-gopher/.build/release/swift-gopher --port 70 --gopher-host-name gopher.navan.dev --gopher-data-dir /home/swift-gopher/gopher_data
User=swift-gopher
Group=swift-gopher
AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE
NoNewPrivileges=true
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
## HTTP Proxy
Although, `swift-gopher` does not currently have a native HTTP handler, you can use self host some of the following packages to proxy the Gopher server to HTTP:
* [gophper-proxy](https://github.com/muffinista/gophper-proxy) + Caddy is what I use to host the HTTPS version of my Gopher server at [https://gopher.navan.dev](https://gopher.navan.dev)
* [gopher-proxy](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/gopher-proxy)
* [gopherproxy-c](https://git.codemadness.org/gopherproxy-c/)
## TODO:
- [ ] Add Tests
- [ ] Add CI
- [x] Add more documentation
- [ ] Automatic Versioning
- [ ] Verify Compatibility with other Gopher Clients
- [ ] Support Gemini Protocol
- [x] Add a client library
- [ ] Add native HTTP handler
- [ ] Guestbook
## Generating Docs
```bash
./generate_docs.sh swiftGopherClient swift-gopher GopherHelpers
```
