toying with tootik

General hiccups:

• default args exit un-helpfully
• had to generate a gemini key/cert
• had to point tootik to an https cert (fullchain)
• registration is disabled on a timer (RegistrationInterval?)
• followed accounts have to be older than an age (in the docs -- MinActorAge)
• time values are all in nanoseconds

I tried to run it locally, but it wouldn't federate without being reachable from the internet.

• ended up running it on one of my domains

I tried to run the web parts on 8443, but remote servers ignored the port and tried to get info from the domain.

• do NOT specify the port in the domain argument on the cli invoking tootik
• just pass :8443 to as the addr (or 0.0.0.0:8443 if it refused to bind)

Had to configure nginx to redirect individual paths to the correct path and port.

There's probably a better way, but redirected the following:

• /.well-known/webfinger
• /user
• /users
• /post
• /inbox

There might be more, but I just based that on error messages from tootik and the nginx access log as mastodon.social tried to resolve different paths when searching, subscribing, and posting.
