Hi everyone, I am running truenas scale on a modest home NAS. I have got some of my services tunneling to some subdomains via cloud flare zero trust and it seems to be fine. I am looking for advice on how to self host a blog and if I can continue that same method. It would be great to run it to the main domain instead of a sub domain, but honestly I don’t care too much. I expect none to very little traffic. I am looking for an app that I can run relatively easy and makes blogging for myself (images + text) as frictionless as possible. I am having trouble finding a guide for this and any that I do are on running much older versions of truenas scale.
I have heard good things about Ghost but couldn’t get it installed properly. Is Wordpress my best bet? I read somewhere that it can be sketchy opening up Wordpress to the internet so I am apprehensive. Any advice?
Another option that has not been mentioned yet is WriteFreely https://writefreely.org/
I use this, it’s fine, but development on the open version is very very slow.
And they still haven’t fixed my pet bug: they introduced Unix socket listening, I found that enabling it prevented upgrades, reported the bug with details and repro, and nobody cares. The workaround is simple, delete the socket file before every start. But I remain confused why a bug that prevents upgrades remains.
