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.

Hi,

I've selfhosted Grav for two years going to three, but I want to move on to something else. I am looking for a flatfile CMS. I have experimented a bit and the best I found so far is Automad, but it isn't quite there. What alternatives can you recommend? PHP is where I am leaning.

Thanks.

Edit: Given my unclear query, I have struggled themeing. It has always been a pain and for whatever reason, documenting is somewhat unclear.

Might be more helpful if you mention what you're looking for that Grav and Automad don't cover. There's a lot of options out there, and you seem to be looking for something pretty specific.

In that case, as someone else said, you may want to take a look at some non-CMS specific style frameworks like Hugo or Jekyll who have tons of these available, but it might be a bit hard to say if you're not super familiar with markdown for templates and such.

If you're used to drag and drop and selectors for creating your views, may want to stick with the CMS stuff.
