Recommendations for self-hosting a blog - eviltoast

Hi,

I’m looking into hosting a blog site for myself - nothing fancy, just a site where I can publish some of my thoughts and ideas. Maybe I also want a section to publish images. So, basically something lean and mostly text only.

What’s the easiest way to set this up for myself?

    I find a blog is something I won’t self host since my homelab is mostly a dev environment and with that it isn’t super available.

    However I do recommend github pages and use some jekyll theme.

    Other than that, you can always self host Hugo or Ghost, although when I tried that I always found I ran into issues.

    I tried on 3 widely separated occasions and still found issues so maybe it’s a problem with me or my environment.

    Either way, people seem to mention those two so I’d recommend them if you want to selfhost, if not, github pages.
