Do you have any open source and self-hosted recommendation?

#2I’m working on and using Lamb. You can find it via the github link in my profile.
The usp is friction free super simple blogging, self-hosted.
If you don’t mind using something under construction, I’d love to head any feedback.

I think it is for deployment right?
I was also looking for a blogging system / script that I can host anywhere I like.

#8I recently created a blog website using OpenAI o1, and it’s been great for generating content with minimal effort. If you're looking for something self-hosted, you can check out my project on GitHub here: [https://github.com/mergisi/openai-o1-coded-personal-blog . Let me know if you have any questions or need more details!

#9Hugo! Compiles Markdown down to a stack of static HTML files, with a ton of flexibility. Currently i have it powering https://andrew-quinn.me/ , https://hiandrewquinn.github.io/til-site/ , and https://hiandrewquinn.github.io/selkouutiset-archive/ , all of which serve different niche purposes.
As for hosting, hosting HTML pages is super easy. The lowest effort for Hugo is GitHub Pages. Netlify is another solid option. https://andrew-quinn.me/ runs on Azure Static Web Apps, but that might take more cloud familiarity than you want to invest in. Or you could just run `hugo` and SCP the resulting directory to a VM!

#10I use Jekyll[1]. It's quite popular which implies that it's easy to search for answers online or find steps to some specific customization you might need.
