Hello everyone!
I was thinking about starting a website where to dump some guides on stuff Iearn about selfhosting and general IT stuff.
I don’t want a WordPress or similar. I want static pages (but I’m ok with some JavaScript for navigation maybe, or for proper display on different kind of devices).
Ideally I’d like to host it on an AWS S3 bucket since it has the built-in option for static hosting.
I could even go back to the '90s and do it myself from scratch in textedit and html by hand, but I’m pretty sure there are better options out there.
I took a look at Hugo but even that it seems overly complicated for what I need.
I recently built a site with hugo. Its very easy. You pick a theme, then write some markdown files. And when you need flexibility, you have it for later. I also think it’s the most popular right now, which lends to a lot of themes to pick from and a lot of cpmmunity support.

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).
No trolling.
