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.

I'm looking for a tool to generate a simple personal website (like an online business card) to self host. Preferably a static site generator.

I'm now using Hugo, but it does too much for me and changes too often. (I can't update my current page, because the template is no longer arond)

You could just do it manually. Write the HTML an CSS.

+1!!

I found this guide very inspiring: https://melonking.net/thoughts/lets-make

It focuses on the creativity and self-creation aspect of writing your own websites. The site is quirky but also geniune.

This is so cool, thanks for sharing! I'm really excited about the "indie web", being a network of expressive people being people rather than just a giant commerce machine.
