I use Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/ https://jekyllrb.com/) which generates static html pages from templates and your blog posts written in markdown. The advantage of this is that I can put my entire blog in git. Also there is no database needed, which makes hosting much easier.
I generate the static html and then put them inside a docker container to deploy. The host is a bare metal server (not free but cheap) with docker installed.
Both of these blogs use Jekyll + Docker as described above:

- atmosx 10y agoI use middleman[1]. There is a blog plugin which is very handy. I used to use github for hosting but I wanted to have SSL so I moved the blog to my UPS. 1: https://middlemanapp.com/ https://middlemanapp.com/

- tedmiston 10y agoJust curious to hear if you tried GitHub Pages as a Jekyll host first and if something missing there led you to self-host.
- rajeshmr 10y agoI tried GitHub pages, I found 2 issues : 1) the ease of publishing on various platforms is a limitation. 2) the load time of the website is high.
