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.

I am very reluctant to use WordPress at all because I've heard terrible things from multiple colleagues. It looks like something that'd get problematic at some point.
That’s totally fair. Wordpress can accomplish what you want, but also can be a giant nightmare. I ran a membership based Wordpress site for around a decade (self hosted and maintained), and it was mostly okay, but also many times a giant headache. I fully understand wanting to avoid Wordpress.
Wordpress issues lie in using plugins that aren't maintained or written well. The source and quality of plugins varies wildly.
