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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I'm looking for a tool to generate a simple personal website (like an online business card) to self host. Preferably a static site generator.

I'm now using Hugo, but it does too much for me and changes too often. (I can't update my current page, because the template is no longer arond)

According to their GitHub https://getgrav.org/ is an "excellent alternative".

yes, but no.

All the alternatives I have looked at had a re-setup tax that I didnt want to get into, also none of them had the easy editing that pico has. you just point it at a collection of markdown files and you get a site out.
