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.

The folks at Jekyll seem to recommend Talkyard:

I'm not super familiar with this as I was just looking into it myself from your post but figured I'd highlight that for ya.
Edit: seems their link is broken so here's a working one:

thanks, and that’s great that this can be used for other static pages as well.
stupid general question: in the “install it yourself” guide, they say that this needs to be run on a VPS, for example with DigitalOcean. I’m thinking of deploying on fly.io, which I understand is like an alternative for Heroku. Is there a conceptual difference between these types of solutions (DigitalOcean vs fly.io for example) that might affect hosting?
That talkyard seems cool
Is it difficult to run?
