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.

And by that I mean,

An http server that serves word-like rich formatted text documents and includes a web-based rich formatting text editor to write and edit these documents.

With some searching I found these might be candidates

Ghost
WriteFreely / Write.as
Plume

And maybe the following editors in some kind of standalone mode

TipTap
Editor.js
Quill.js
CKEditor 5
Slate.js

I’ve heard lots of good things about Ghost. I’ve also hosted Grav for a while and it’s pretty solid. You can do Wordpress, but I’d stay away as it gets bad fast and there are better alternatives. If you needed even more scale, Mediawiki is selfhostable too.

Grav is nice, as it creates flat files for the front end, instead of server side/database driven pages. That makes it super fast to load.
