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.

If you end up not liking WP, Drupal is another option. https://new.drupal.org/home. // https://www.drupal.org/project/activitypub

If you are going to evaluate Drupal in 2025, I STRONGLY encourage you to start with the Drupal CMS install. There are so many optional modules with Drupal, it can be overwhelming.
If you are already familiar with Docker, you can spin up a Drupal CMS instance using DDEV. You'll have no problem Googling that.
If you aren't familiar with Docker and want to try it, https://new.drupal.org/drupal-cms/launcher is a ridiculously easy way to start on most operating systems. That approach gets a little trickier when you want to move the site/cms application instance to a host. There is documentation, but I would look it over before getting too far into this approach.
My recommendation for spinning up a Drupal CMS instance is on a free sandbox on https://docs.pantheon.io/drupal-cms. Acquia offers a free trial in exchange for the information they need to target you with marketing, but it is only a 4 hour trial. Pantheon lets you keep your sandbox as long as you account remains active.
Unfortunately ActivityPub isn't included in any of the Drupal CMS Recipes (yet), so you have to add it with
composer require 'drupal/activitypub:^1.0@alpha'.Composer is npm for PHP. If you are familiar npm, apt-get, homebrrw, pip, gem, etc, you'll have no problem understanding Composer.
I don't know anything about Drupal. I shall look at it. Right now to get up and running I'm thinking of just running a SSG like Pelican. Especially since the Dev is on the Fediverse. :-D
I know a silly reason to pick it, but I'm a Fedi Lover lol. :-)
Thank you for the info though. I'll definitely look more into it. And thank you so much for the very deeply detailed response! :-)
I shall check into it! Thank you! :-)
