Selfhosted
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.

Im merely making a value proposition because im an engineer and I've had this same exact problem and desire. Call it experience — a static blog is fine since I can build one of those in my sleep, but for me I wanted to post on it when I was away and only had my phone. Now do I put it on my git? A separate notebook that is synced somewhere? I have ADHD—if I want to write I have to write and I can't just hope to remember it sometime later. Now what's the point of my blog if I can't write on it when I need to but simply don't have my desktop nearby? Also you have to have pay for a CI to do the building anyway for a static site generator, that ain't free and even if you found a service that provides CI for free you're just externalizing your costs somewhere else. Laws of thermodynamics still apply. So instead of paying for CI to build your static site, I'd argue just pay for the server rendered site. Why choose to have a 1gb ram build server for a blog when you can just use that server to run the blog.
And they want federation support. Ghost is working on that as well speak. What static site generator supports federation?
