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:

  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.

And by that I mean,

An http server that serves word-like rich formatted text documents and includes a web-based rich formatting text editor to write and edit these documents.

With some searching I found these might be candidates

Ghost
WriteFreely / Write.as
Plume

And maybe the following editors in some kind of standalone mode

TipTap
Editor.js
Quill.js
CKEditor 5
Slate.js

... A ... blog? Are you asking if it's possible to selfhost a blog?

And they've answered their own question by listing several valid candidates.

Well, I'm hoping someone has a better one, or at least can confirm that one of the things I listed isn't actually a huge waste of time.

You can tell OP is a younger Gen Z by this post lol.

It sounds like a stupid question but if OP isn’t 30+ it’s perfectly understandable to not be aware of the former ubiquity of self hosted blogs.

I am aware of self hosted "blogs" but that's not what I want.

A better way to explain what I want is

This, but opensource and self-hosted

with per-file access control

Yes, like that except not with a terrible interface that looks like the unholy union of vscode and vim.
