+@cindex agate
+The @uref{gemini://qwertqwefsday.eu/agate.gmi, Agate}
+(@uref{https://github.com/mbrubeck/agate, GitHub page over HTTPS})
+program is a simple @uref{https://gemini.circumlunar.space/, Gemini}
+protocol server written in Rust.
+
+@deffn {Scheme Variable} agate-service-type
+This is the type of the agate service, whose value should be an
+@code{agate-service-type} object, as in this example:
+
+@lisp
+(service agate-service-type
+	 (agate-configuration
+	   (content "/srv/gemini")
+	   (cert "/srv/cert.pem")
+	   (key "/srv/key.rsa")))
+@end lisp
+
+The example above represents the minimal tweaking necessary to get Agate
+up and running.  Specifying the path to the certificate and key is
+always necessary, as the Gemini protocol requires TLS by default.
+
+To obtain a certificate and a key, you could, for example, use OpenSSL,
+running a command similar to the following example:
+
+@example
+openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout key.rsa -out cert.pem \
+    -days 3650 -nodes -subj "/CN=example.com"
+@end example
+
+Of course, you'll have to replace @i{example.com} with your own domain
+name, and then point the Agate configuration towards the path of the
+generated key and certificate.
+
