Ask HN: What is your blog stack?
- soulchild37 6y agoNodejs (Ghost), hosted on DigitalOcean
- fileeditview 6y agoShameless plug: I am using my own "stack" to publish Github Issues on Github Pages. See https://github.com/dbriemann/glyph-zero https://github.com/dbriemann/glyph-zero to see how it works.
- kpwags 6y agoJekyll hosted on AWS
- peruvian 6y agoI use Blot https://blot.im/ https://blot.im/ which costs $3/mo. You can use a Dropbox folder or a Git repository, have full control of the styling of your blog, things automatically sync and work, etc. I've found it worth the price, which I don't even notice.
- DarrenDev 6y agoWordpress.com I'm old school.
- atmosx 6y agomiddleman for static site generation, Skeleton CSS, font awesome for icons, github actions for deployment pipeline, aws s3 for hosting and aws cloudfront as a CDN.
- punkdudez 6y agoVuePress and GitHub pages. 0$
- mortivore 6y agogatsby.js, github, netlify
- GeneralMaximus 6y agoWordPress, because I just want to write. I've been running it since 2004 or 2005, and I don't see a point in fixing what isn't broken.
- JPLeRouzic 6y agoI use a modified HTMLy [0] self-hosted blog for https://padiracinnovation.org/News/ https://padiracinnovation.org/News/ I mainly refactored a few huge PHP files into many files having "one function per file" and added statistics. What attracted me to HTMLy instead of Wordpress was the capability to understand the code base and provide modifications as I feel needed. I did try to add comments to pages, but was not satisfied with what I wrote. [0] https://github.com/danpros/htmly https://github.com/danpros/htmly
- sethammons 6y agoHugo, self hosted on Digital Ocean. I keep it all in git, and push/pull both locally and remotely.
- fredrb 6y agoSo do you ssh into your server and pull the repo every time you write a new blog post?
- sethammons 6y agoDepends. Sometimes I write from the server directly, but ssh and pull happens most of the time. I’m sure it would be “smarter” to do something with webhooks or a dozen other things to auto-sync.
- bckygldstn 6y agoI use jekyll, with a script to render each page/post and inline only the css rules that apply to the dom. Hosted on google app engine which is cheap as, it serves static files quickly while making it easy to add server-side logic where needed.
- fredrb 6y agoDo you deploy your app every time you write a blog post? I'm on Jekyll also. I wonder if you could hook the `_posts` folder to some sort of CMS and update the content without deploying.
- bckygldstn 6y agoYeah, I have a `make deploy` script that handles the build and upload to google app engine. App engine is read-only. As well as a CMS you'd also need to run jekyll to build the posts into html. You could use github to do all this actually: their web interface can work as a basic CMS that lets you edit and commit individual files, and if you host on github pages they'll build the posts with jekyll after each commit.
- sogen 6y agoboring Wordpress, works great, no bike shedding needed, no tinkering needed.
- karmakaze 6y agoGitBook.com I care about making content rather than styling.
- tmaly 6y agoI use Hugo, I made my own template by modifying an existing open source one. I write my articles in vim and just render and rsync to my blog. I use to use wordpress, but I did not want to deal with all the updates etc. One of my wordpress sites did get hacked at one point, probably due to a third party template. The one thing I wish I had a little more control over would be the placement of new articles on the front page.
- arman_ashrafian 6y agoI'm setting up a blog soon. I'm planning on using pandoc and some shell scripts to generate the html from markdown and host on github pages.
- codegeek 6y agoSelf Hosted WordPress. No plugins. just a simple theme with caching enabled and also behind cloudflare. Works good enough for me.
- uk_king 6y agoI'm a computer enginerring student and made a blog with LAMP stack along with WordPress and Divi theme.
- conradludgate 6y agoHosted on github pages, built with hugo using a custom theme. I just create markdown files and push them, then CI builds and deploys the static html
- frompdx 6y agoI self host my blog with WordPress. It's easy to use and works well enough. No real complaints other than the lack of vim bindings in the editor, although I imagine there is a plugin for that. There is a small twist to my hosting. I host my blog alongside a number of other apps I have built with DigitalOcean's managed Kubernetes offering. Not for everyone but I like it.
- XCSme 6y agoNot a fully featured blog, but my https://github.com/Cristy94/markdown-blog https://github.com/Cristy94/markdown-blog
- stakkur 6y agoI used WordPress for many years. Recently, I experimented a lot with Jekyll, Hugo and Pelican, and settled on Hugo, hosted on a regular web host. I move files via sftp and a script. Right now I'm wiring it up to Emacs. But I'm not convinced Hugo is the answer for me yet, and might settle on Pelican.
- sdiw 6y agoI've been using Ghost ever since I switched my blog from WordPress. I've been pretty happy with it and their editing experience is great. I host it on Digital Ocean.
- l1ghthouse 6y agoXcode with Publish (static site generator written in Swift) -> Generate -> SFTP to server
- k00b 6y agoJekyll and S3. Simple to do and cheap.
