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 want to make my own website, like a blog where I talk about tech and tutorials and such. Something like https://kerkour.com and https://lukesmith.xyz. Any ideas for simple but modern design?

Agree on Hugo being easy to work with. I also think having a static website is a good idea in general due to the low resource usage. My Raspberry Pi, even though it is loaded with many web applications, always manages to serve my hugo website blazingly fast. If you need rich content, for example videos, you can always embed them in some way. Another option I tried that worked okay is Pelican, though I use Hugo now since it seems the better option for me. In general I think any static site generator with templates will do the job. Even a minimalist solution such as pandoc could do it, though it would be much more manual work to get working.

Static websites are also cool for security.

So many small websites gets defaced everyday because of some vuln brought by the dynamic aspect of the site.
