I have also installed bucktooth on my bbs server (RPi3B+) and works fine. It's a bit tricky to install and had to search for some stuff but i finally made it.

It's not an easy task to create a gopher server and make a gopher site, but with a little digging you can manage it. Start from here:
                  
                  gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/1/buck

Read about the gopher protocol and gophermap syntax and you can also use one of my mods for mystic to maintain a gopher site. Also for debugging the gophermap pages you can use Lynx to view the source or my own gopher browser for android, which can save gopher pages:
 
                gopher://andr01d.zapto.org:7070/gophrite
                                  or
