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.

Hi,

I'm looking into hosting a blog site for myself - nothing fancy, just a site where I can publish some of my thoughts and ideas. Maybe I also want a section to publish images. So, basically something lean and mostly text only.

What's the easiest way to set this up for myself?

I don't use it myself, but there's a federated blogging service called WriteFreely that markets itself as being very minimalist and simple.

You can self-host an instance of it, just like you can with /kbin, or you can use an instance that already exists (I think it's a few bucks a month if you don't want to post anonymously).

Not sure if federation is something that's important to you but I thought I'd throw it out there.
