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 am looking for a good and lightweight blogging solution.

I imagine I can just go with a static site generator like jekyll but I'd like something else... it would be a plus if it can federate :)

Any ideas?

Thanks !

EDIT: I forgot to say that obviously wordpress does not enters in the "lightweight" category ;)

I am not sure about how lightweight they are (but I guess more than WordPress for sure) but on the federated side of things you have plume (https://joinplu.me/) and writefreely (https://writefreely.org/) that you can selfhost. Not super sure about how much you can customize them.

I'm liking them! even if they do not seem very alive (still, blogging itself is not the most "alive" activity around nowadays...)

Writefreely is alive. Plume not.
