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.

Are you looking for advice regarding administration or the platform?
I say for a simple blog it's hard to beat Hugo. There are plenty of nice themes and easily adjustable, too with a bit of html/css.
I guess both? Platform recommendations like yours will help point me in the right direction to figure out the admin part bit by bit. Much appreciated
If you're not very set on hosting at home, hosting a static Hugo page directly on Github Pages is incredibly convenient and easy (and free.) With the right Github Action, updating the site is as simple as pushing content to the main branch and it automatically deploys. And should Github ever give you a reason to do so, moving away is as simple as copying your static files to any other webhost and pointing your domain there instead.
Edit: It's of course equally easy to deploy on your NAS - just a basic nginx serving the directory with your static site that Hugo generated.
