Hello everyone! I was thinking about starting a website where to dump some guides on stuff Iearn about selfhosting and general IT stuff.

I don’t want a WordPress or similar. I want static pages (but I’m ok with some JavaScript for navigation maybe, or for proper display on different kind of devices). Ideally I’d like to host it on an AWS S3 bucket since it has the built-in option for static hosting.

I could even go back to the '90s and do it myself from scratch in textedit and html by hand, but I’m pretty sure there are better options out there.

I took a look at Hugo but even that it seems overly complicated for what I need.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!

    Have you considered a wiki instead? I use OtterWiki and I like it a lot. It has version control using Git too.

    There are several dozen different wiki softwares out there, you can compare their features using this site.

      OtterWiki looks awesome! The combination of markdown, git and a web interface is powerful.

        Yeah! It lets me focus on content instead of building the actual site so I thought I would suggest it given OP’s use case.

        Also the CSS can be modified with a separate file that overrides the default, so it’s pretty customizable without touching the actual config files at all.
