My guestbook setup

2024-07-06

My guestbook is a sheepy program written in C running as CGI.

The `guestbook` program is stored in the `cgi` directory with a template.

When `cgi/guestbook` runs, an input is requested and when the input is received, it is stored in `guestbook.gmi`.

- Template `guestbookTemplate.gmi`:

# Guestbook

=> cgi/guestbook Add message to guestbook (gemini only)
=> / Home

- `guestbook.c`:

#! /usr/bin/env sheepy
/* or direct path to sheepy: #! /usr/local/bin/sheepy */

/* Libsheepy documentation: https://spartatek.se/libsheepy/ */
#include "libsheepyObject.h"
#include "shpPackages/short/short.h"

#define dir "/var/geminiRoot/"
