This is just a few steps guide on how to start navigating on gemini.
Basically some bullet points to tell new geminauts what to do, where to go as soon as they land :)

I'm not gemini expert, at all. So take this log as it is.

Spent a rather entertaining, but ultimately frustrating, day trying to get a Gemini Protocol server set up on a local Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and connecting to a domain using Cloudflare tunnels. After much messing about it turns out that the Cloudflare tunnel, although supporting TCP, wont let me allocate a specific port to the domain. Back to the drawing board for now.
