I’m looking into hosting a blog site for myself - nothing fancy, just a site where I can publish some of my thoughts and ideas. Maybe I also want a section to publish images.
So, basically something lean and mostly text only.
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
I find a blog is something I won’t self host since my homelab is mostly a dev environment and with that it isn’t super available.
However I do recommend github pages and use some jekyll theme.
Other than that, you can always self host Hugo or Ghost, although when I tried that I always found I ran into issues.
I tried on 3 widely separated occasions and still found issues so maybe it’s a problem with me or my environment.
Either way, people seem to mention those two so I’d recommend them if you want to selfhost, if not, github pages.
