That may seem like an oxymoron, but I’m looking for some sort of server that I can self-host where I can edit blog posts and whatnot, but that then deploys to something like neocities (or any other pure static host).

I’m not finding anything, but maybe it’s a thing and I just don’t know what it’s called?

You can do all of the through GitHub and GitHub actions by picking a static website generator.

I’d personally like to not depend on infra like github, but I hadn’t considered just using the web UI of a code forge. That’s a good idea, I’m going to try that and see if I like it, thanks!

(Still interested in other suggestions if others know of things that are more fit for purpose, tho.)

Fair enough. If you want to self host, you can go with forgjo as your web ui and forgjo CI/woodpecker CI for building and deploying the site.

I don’t know of any other self-hostable way to build and push a static site. There was forestry but they discontinued it for a paid service.

Create a post

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:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
