Haven't figured out how to use public-inbox yet. I've cloned the linux
kernel mail list and I can see the newsgroup served by
public-inbox-nntp, but the newsgroup is empty --- zero messages.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
GROUP org.kernel.linux
211 0 0 0 org.kernel.linux
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I did index the repository. I mean --- I ran the program.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ public-inbox-index ./linux.kernel.org/
$ echo $?
0
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I can git log the repository just fine.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ git log | wc -l
2678026
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

What must I do?

My config file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ cat ~/.public-inbox/config
[publicinbox "linux"]
address = li...@kernel.org
url = https://org.kernel.linux.antartida.xyz
inboxdir = /home/jshem/inbox/linux.kernel.org
newsgroup = org.kernel.linux
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

How I run public-inbox-nntpd:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ public-inbox-nntpd ~/.public-inbox/config -l 0.0.0.0:1119
# bound nntp://0.0.0.0:1119
PID=17034 is worker[0]
[7] MODE READER - 0.000118
[7] GROUP org.kernel.linux - 0.002769
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And that's when my NNTP client gets

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
GROUP org.kernel.linux
211 0 0 0 org.kernel.linux
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks for any help.
