Do you selfhost your own blog/website? (slrpnk.net)

Hey there!

I'm thinking about starting a blog about privacy guides, security, self-hosting, and other shenanigans, just for my own pleasure. I have my own server running Unraid and have been looking at self-hosting Ghost as the blog platform. However, I am wondering how "safe" it is to use one's own homelab for this. If you have any experience regarding this topic, I would gladly appreciate some tips.

I understand that it's relatively cheap to get a VPS, and that is always an option, but it is always more fun to self-host on one's own bare metal! :)

I have a Hugo site hosted on GitHub and I use CloudFlare Pages to put it on my custom domain. You don't have to use GitHub to host the repo. Except for the cost of the domain, it's free.

You don't really need Cloudflare to have your own domain, you can do everything directly with GitHub.

I didn't know this. Thanks for the info.

You can do the same with GitLab as another option, it supports custom domains too.
