Recommendation Self Hosting Blog (lemm.ee)

Hi everyone, I am running truenas scale on a modest home NAS. I have got some of my services tunneling to some subdomains via cloud flare zero trust and it seems to be fine. I am looking for advice on how to self host a blog and if I can continue that same method. It would be great to run it to the main domain instead of a sub domain, but honestly I don’t care too much. I expect none to very little traffic. I am looking for an app that I can run relatively easy and makes blogging for myself (images + text) as frictionless as possible. I am having trouble finding a guide for this and any that I do are on running much older versions of truenas scale.

I have heard good things about Ghost but couldn’t get it installed properly. Is Wordpress my best bet? I read somewhere that it can be sketchy opening up Wordpress to the internet so I am apprehensive. Any advice?

I use ghost and can totally recommend it. I installed it in 5 min. via docker compose in combination with mysql.

The fact that it is low on resources, has tons of features and easy code injection, makes it perfect. WordPress is bloated with to much nonsense. If you want to see a good ghost example: https://itsfoss.com/

PS only unnecessary are these stupid Twitter and Facebook integrations but they can be deactivated.

If OP uses docker, I would share my compose.yml if wanted.
