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.

After using GitHub Pages (Jekyll) and some experiments with GRAV and Serendipity/S9Y, I’ve ended up with WordPress on SQLite for my blog as it provides everything a proper blog needs: RSS, comments, trackback/pingback, spam filter and ActivityPub/Fediverse integration.
But for a CMS without any social aspect I’d probably use GRAV and make it work somehow.
This seems to be the way. Panel beating Grav. Dang. Wish it were more friendly, but still much respect to the development team.
From a technical standpoint, I still have some admiration for ProcessWire which is basically just the backend of a CMS and requires you to code the frontend. It has a great API and is awesome to build websites with. Just create your HTML and insert the PHP snippets wherever you need some dynamic info.
However, it requires a fully fledged database which is what I'm trying to avoid with most of my projects.
