+gmnisrv.ini(5)
+
+# NAME
+
+*gmnisrv.ini* - configuration file for *gmnisrv*(1)
+
+# SYNTAX
+
+*gmnisrv.ini* is an INI file. Each line is either a key/value pair, or a section
+heading. Key/value pairs are specified as key=value, and sections as [section].
+
+# CONFIGURATION KEYS
+
+The meaning of the key depends on the section. Anonymous keys (prior to the
+first [section] directive) are used to specify parameters for the daemon itself.
+Sections whose name is prefixed with ":", e.g. [:tls], are sub-categories of
+the daemon configuration. Otherwise, section names refer to the hostnames of
+domains serviced by the *gmnisrv* daemon.
+
+## ANONYMOUS KEYS
+
+*listen*
+ A space-separated list of addresses that the daemon shall bind to. Each
+ address shall take the format *address*:*port*. If :*port* is omitted,
+ 1965 (the default Gemini port) is presumed. To specify an IPv6 address,
+ enclose it in *[]*, e.g. *[::]*.
+
+
+## TLS KEYS
+
+The following keys are accepted under the *[:tls]* section:
+
+*store*
+ Path to the certificate store on disk. This should be a persistent
+ directory writable by the daemon. The daemon manages its own
+ certificates - no user intervention is required, except in the case of
+ moving the daemon to another host, in which case the certificate store
+ must be copied to the new host.
+
+*organization*
+ An optional key used during certificate generation. Fill this in with
+ the name of the organization responsible for the host and it will be
+ filled in as the X.509 /O name.
+
+## HOST KEYS
+
+Hosts that *gmnisrv* is to serve shall be defined in *gmnisrv.ini* by
+introducing config sections named after each host to provide service for. The
+following keys apply:
+
+*root*
+ Configures the path on disk from which files shall be served for this
+ host.
+
+*index*
+ Configures the name of the index file which shall be served in the event
+ that a request for this host does not include the filename part.
+ Defaults to "index.gmi".
+
+*autoindex*
+ "on" to enable the auto-index feature, which presents clients with a
+ list of files in the requested directory when an index file cannot be
+ found. Off by default.
