If I want to have a blog that's mostly text, pictures and code snippets, and written in Markdown, what should I use? Self hosted and deployable with Apache.
Wordpress wasn't connecting to my mariadb instance for some reason.
@dconley I use GitHub pages, but I'm pretty sure you can self-host and deploy Octopress or some other Jekyll-derivative pretty easily. I like the writing/publishing flow pretty well. And PRs for feedback on posts before I ship 'em is ✨real✨ nice.
@dconley Jekyll Now! https://github.com/barryclark/jekyll-now
You don't need to selfhost it, but it *can* be selfhosted if you don't mind having to recompile the blog regularly.
@dconley I used hugo for a while. gohugo.io
Okay it looks like Hugo or some variant of Jekyll is the way to go.
Speaking of go, Hugo is written in golang, which is appealing...
@dconley you want a CMS or static generator is fine? I use swx https://3hg.fr/swx/index.html
Okay so despite saying I wanted to self-host it I think I'm going to use Jekyll with Github pages. Enough of the code is going to be on Github anyway.
Thanks, everybody!
@dconley hmm, something with jekyll maybe?
