I 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 Min…

I would argue that using something like Nuxt/Content[0]is even simpler. I create a new markdown file in my website’s local repo, write the content and commit if it’s ready for publishing. No need for the FTP step and version control is build in. This setup is also completely free since the content lives on GitHub and my static site on render.com (but any static site hosting will work). And since it’s Nuxt based, it a…

Looks like free tier for render.com static sites is 100G egress per month. While this is sufficient for a low traffic site, I’d probably want to protect myself by putting Cloudflare (or some other free CDN) in front (yes I realize that render.com has their own CDN network in front, but that’s still wrapped inside the 100G free tier limit it looks like).

The hardest part to me, is install PHP.

There are tons of very cheap hosting providers who are stable and have been around a long time. You could look at buyshared.net which is the webhosting arm of buyvm.net.

Please don't use this unless you wish to exclude those who would like to enjoy your content but also respect their privacy. Cloudflare continue to block Tor traffic by default. It is discriminatory against innocent users and harmful to freedom of speech (because speech also requires the ability to listen).

Given that this uses multiple Cloudflare services, is anyone very familiar with their pricing? The readme lists a "generous free tier", but I always have to wonder what happens once you fall outside of that tier. I remember that R2 is cheap (one of its distinguishing features), but wonder if any of the other services suddenly become $50 a month or something.

Cloudflare's free tiers are hard-free; they stop working if you exceed the free tier usage (at least for compute; storage is different).

Pages is essentially totally free. R2 is within the same pricing magnitude as S3. D1 is a very new product and afaik is still in beta and doesn't have production pricing yet; so be weary there. Zero Trust is less usage and more per-user, I think $7/mo/user.

"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 def…

I use middleman[^1] + bulmaCSS + FontAwesome but host on github using the `github.io` domain and upload podcasts to "archive.org"[^2].
