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.

Hey hello, self-hosting noob here. I just want to know if anyone would know a good way to host my writing. Something akin to those webcomic sites, except for writing. Multiple stories with their own "sections" (?) and a chapter selection for each. Maybe a home page or profile page to just briefly detail myself or whatever, I don't know. It doesn't have to be fancy, and I apologize for not knowing how to describe this well. I've just been searching and searching and I don't know what to look up to find what I want, it's extremely frustrating. Any help is greatly appreciated.

https://ghost.org/ would probably work pretty well for you.

What part of that is self hosted?

The part where you self host it? I don’t understand the question.

Sorry, I didn't find the self hosting option when I looked at the site. I see it now. Thanks!

Oh that’s what you mean, yeah they don’t make it easy to find. I only linked their site so OP could see the feature set. I run it in docker, and remove all the nonsense membership and newsletter features and buttons.

They have their own hosting plans, but you can also self host it.

I looked for that on their site but missed it and found the pricing instead. Thanks! I'm definitely going to check that out
