Hi,

I wanna host a simple but modern blogging engine to share my journey and discoveries with the world. I would like it to store posts in files so that I can back it up using git or the like and that I can run it in docker (and doesn’t have the looks of a mid 2000’s website).

Does anyone know of anything?

I’ve looked at this list: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#blogging-platforms. But nothing really fits what I’m looking for. Chyrp lite is the closest, but with no official docker support I also failed to get it working reliably with my own image.

I hope you all have some ideas!

That looks promising, I’ll look into it.

Most people have moved from Jekyll to Hugo. But there are lots of them Google SSG or static site generators.
