#2I just use PicoCMS and upload my markdown files through FTP. I don't think there's anything out there that can compete with the simplicity of this solution, not even static site generators.
It uses templates with Twig, and it's very simple PHP so you can host it anywhere.
I once hit the frontpage of a big aggregator from my country and it handled like it was nothing from a very cheap shared hosting.
From my Linux Mint laptop, all it takes is to open my FTP on Thunar (which involves a click in my sidebar), and I'm navigating it like any other file system. Right click, create file, write & format my post, and save the file.
Viola, it's published.
Oh, and you can mix Markdown with HTML and JS in your posts. Less stuff you need to learn.

#3This looks fantastic. I just started a podcast and was planning to test publishing with cloudflare since it seems much cheaper than the alternatives (and planning to backup to storj).
I will try this out this week!

#4It seems there is a growing movement of headless CMSs, but I am afraid of vendor lock-in with Cloudflare and the like.
Are there any other CMS's that people are using these days? Perhaps looking forward to be using in 2023?

Any new name in town? My perception is that 2022 is pretty much web2 stagnation due to a lot of things.

Forestry has been on my radar for a long time but never had a need to use it https://forestry.io/
The big draw for me is it's just Hugo/Gatsby/Jekyll underneath, and the output files can be delivered anywhere that will host static files (CloudFlare pages does this really well, as does Netlify).

#7Why mix the type of software (A CMS for certain use cases) with the distribution mechanism (Cloudflare Pages etc)?
Shouldn't that be two seperate issues?

#8How is it self hosted and hosted cloudflare at the same time ?
Re: Show HN: Self-hosted CMS on serverless Cloudflare
#9"Self-hosted on Cloudflare" feels like an oxymoron. I know it's common for people to consider hosting on VPS and the like to be self-hosting, but attached to proprietary services seems to be a step further, I think something being portable between providers has to be a minimum for the term.
I like the idea of having web content you can put up with minimal configuration and cost but we have to draw a line for that definition somewhere.

You host it on your own Cloudflare account.
