I cobbled together a guide of sorts for setting up your own free #Gopher hole on https://sdf.org
lynx gopher://sdf.org/1/users/spelk
or
gopher://sdf.org:70/users/spelk
Look under the "Muse" section of my spelkhole, its in there.
It should outline the basics of getting a user account, setting up a gopher space and building your first gophermap.
Hopefully it will help people who are curious try out gophering, and some may support #SDF's public access #UNIX server going forward.
