Hi,
I wanna host a simple but modern blogging engine to share my journey and discoveries with the world. I would like it to store posts in files so that I can back it up using git or the like and that I can run it in docker (and doesn’t have the looks of a mid 2000’s website).
Does anyone know of anything?
I’ve looked at this list: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#blogging-platforms. But nothing really fits what I’m looking for. Chyrp lite is the closest, but with no official docker support I also failed to get it working reliably with my own image.
I hope you all have some ideas!

With a static site generator you just setup a standard website
I think you should look at some static site generators, probably, since that leaves you with an end product that can be hosted with any webserver quite easily. Hugo is the one that I use, and it has a lot of nice themes for personal blogs and such. Most of the themes I’ve looked at generate the pages from Markdown.
Check out Pelican, it might be closer to what you’re looking for.
What about using something like Jekyll with Github pages?
That looks promising, I’ll look into it.
Most people have moved from Jekyll to Hugo. But there are lots of them Google SSG or static site generators.
