I recently became interessted in learning about static site generators. So I decided to start a little 11ty blog, in which I teach people, who are new to self-hosting, how to securely set up their own server with Ubuntu and Docker.
For now, I’ve got my Beginners Guide series as well as a more detailed introduction to SSH and its features. I plan to eventually write down all I’ve learned about self-hosting in the past 20 years.
Hope it ends up being helpful for some of you.
This 11ty sounds like a nice off the shelf solution to getting a blog started, which I want to do, but how to allow comments? I guess I’m asking what’s everyone around here solution for comments
I have been pleased with giscus on my blog (http://roguesecurity.dev/ ) Its powered via github discussions.
I think I want to do a coding / dev blog and hope that some comments help me explore other ways to write code that’s why I’m thinking of allowing comments. Thoughts on this? Also, discus might work. Thank!
I would recommend giscus over discus, but yes, certainly a valid approach!
Can’t really help you there, since comments were never a consideration for me. They would add an unneeded amount of moderation, and potential threat, to my blog.
