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?

Ah, nice. I think that’s exactly what I was trying to describe. Thanks for the suggestion!

Though, I think the git forge ‘backend’ + “Static CMS” frontend seems a bit more featureful and slick. I think I’m going to keep going down that path instead for now. Good to have a backup of exactly what I originally thought I wanted though.

grav is another option for what you were looking for. cli with optional web interface. run local and generate static sites or on a web server (like a traditional cms) https://getgrav.org

for a static site generator that runs locally (with local or git storage), check out https://jamstack.org/generators/ for lots of other options.

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.
