Is WordPress with ActivityPub Plugin a good setup to host my own technical blog?

I've long been thinking about writing some technical things I didn't find easily on the internet down somewhere.

I don't want to use a platform like medium as I'd like to have control over my data. I'm already selfhosting diffrent web services like a password manager (vaulwarden), audiobookshelf and more in docker behind a reverse proxy. So whatever software I decide on should have a docker image available.

It would also be rather nice if the software would play nicely with the fediverse, so from some quick searching it seems that WordPress with the ActivityPub plugin would work nicely.

It there some other software I've overlooked that I should also consider?

Did you take a look at write freely or other blogging software with native ActivityPub support?

No, but I will check it out now!

My favorite feature of good old reddit (rip)! Makes me feel right at home.

I almost deleted it but decided an edit would be more fun. I’m glad I didn’t delete it now 😊
