- scotchio 11y agoCheckout SpudPress - Static WordPress hosting. All the same except you can use WordPress theming and Admin. If you know how to distinguish between static and dynamic. It's insanely useful http://spudpress.com http://spudpress.com
- isoos 11y agoI think a lot of people who would love to use a self-hosted version of this. However, paying for $20/m is usually not worth for a hobby/blog site.
- the_mitsuhiko 11y agoCorrect me if I'm wrong but they are either hosted CMS solutions (Grav, Cockpit) or static website generators (Harp) like Jekyll and friends.
- hanniabu 11y agoHarp actually is a static generator (didn't think it was, never used before). And yes, Grav and Cockpit are self-hosted flat-file CMS, but now that you ask makes me confused. I was under the impression that Lektor was similar where you have a flat-file CMS and whenever a change is made, the static files are created. My second guess is that this actually a CMS that exists locally and deploys static files when a change is made?
- detaro 11y agoLektor is a static site generator: it generates a "compiled" version of the site that is uploaded to a simple web server, without any server-side scripts running. If you want to edit something, you run it locally, make your changes, generate new files and copy those to the web server. The key addition is that there is a nice UI for adding content in the system running locally, so it can be used by less technical users that might not feel comfortable with writing in text files with special tags/metadata, as traditional static generators require.
