What are people using for #selfhosted #blogging these days? Looking to set up one for myself soon, love to hear anyone's experiences. :)

    @kevinmirsky I'm kinda debating between Ghost, or some static page generator. Once I Get Around To It ™ Though I guess also trilium allows to publish part of it's notes...

    @kevinmirsky It depends on what you want out of life. The new hotness is flat file blogs like ghost, however I continue to really like wordpress for flexibility and ease of use.

    @kevinmirsky I actually just set Hugo back up the other day. Biggest challenge is clients, but I like the ability to just throw some markdown in a file and it's on my blog a git commit+push later. Also reduces attack footprint since it's all static in the end.

  • @kevinmirsky@infosec.exchange I use Hugo, a static site generator and am very happy: https://gohugo.io WriteFreely is interesting because it's nice and simple, runs on low resources, and can federate with the Fediverse: https://writefreely.org If you want Ghost or WordPress cheaply, I'd probably look into PikaPods who offer hosting for under two dollars a month: https://www.pikapods.com/apps#blog

    @kevinmirsky I'm using wordpress. I've tried jekyll to create a static blog but it's too much hassle.

    @kevinmirsky I ended up writing a very minimalist frontend using #Github #gists as my backend data store. I write in #markdown, post, and forget about it I until I want to post again. I wrote it all up here 👇 https://devnull.land/github-gist-blog

    @kevinmirsky I use both Hugo+Caddy with autodeploy via GitHub webhooks, and self hosted WordPress. Each has its unique challenges. Hosting Hugo+Caddy on Google Cloud on a e2-micro costs me between 0.03$ and 0.04$ per month because of the traffic originating from China. It is rock solid. I like it because I can host many sites on one VM and do some funky stuff. Using a front, e.g. netlify, like others suggested is a simpler solution. I host WordPress at home on a NUC w/ 1gbps ISP at 0$.
