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 ;)
In order from little to bigger:
- any ssg like Zola or pelican
- mataroa.blog
- writefreely
- ghost
- lemmy :)
have you tried hubzilla? its multipurpose.
I use eleventy. Similar to other static site generators.
Whats the overrall size and resource use of this setup?
I use the parsedown library with a custom PHP index page to serve markdown files as HTML.
I use fuwari
Not sure how lightweight it needs to be, but I use Ghost and it’s pretty simple and basic.
oh, Ghost is cool :)
Not sure how much can use it, but indeed it feels like a great platform (maybe too much for some small posts :P)
Good luck! I did the same recently. I wrote my own blog system, though. I can share it with you, but I’m not sure it’s the best for anyone else, there were some shortcuts taken given I did not intend to share it.
You can check out my blog and let me know whether you want to try it: https://chrastecky.dev/ (or federated: !programming@chrastecky.dev, !3d-printing@chrastecky.dev, !gaming@chrastecky.dev).
Check out some blogs that use quartz
What is your reason to blog, for yourself? If so I run (used to run gitea) forgejo and just spam everything in issue threads on specific repositories
this uses 150mb of ram, basically 0% cpu
forgejo is actively working on federation, it is there not sure how done it is I don’t use it.
Writefreely is super light weight and minimalist in its design. It also federates with mastodon.
Maybe git+Jekyll+CD+web server?
You could setup some automation so you just create pages via Git.
I like Zola. You can integrate it with Lemmy comments: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/30018034
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Ghost. I see a lot of bloggers running it. I’m not a blogger and I doubt anyone would be interested in what I had to say…lol…so I don’t have experience in that area. However, Ghost seems to be the ticket for bloggers. It integrates with thousands of services and some really great theme templates. If I were going to start a blog, that’s what I would go with. Jeremy over at Noted.lol has a write up about it and iirc, he uses Ghost for Noted.lol itself.
