Web Based Static Site Generator?

azdle@news.idlestate.org to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 39 points –

That may seem like an oxymoron, but I'm looking for some sort of server that I can self-host where I can edit blog posts and whatnot, but that then deploys to something like neocities (or any other pure static host).

I'm not finding anything, but maybe it's a thing and I just don't know what it's called?

You can do all of the through GitHub and GitHub actions by picking a static website generator.

I'd personally like to not depend on infra like github, but I hadn't considered just using the web UI of a code forge. That's a good idea, I'm going to try that and see if I like it, thanks!

(Still interested in other suggestions if others know of things that are more fit for purpose, tho.)

Fair enough. If you want to self host, you can go with forgjo as your web ui and forgjo CI/woodpecker CI for building and deploying the site.

I don’t know of any other self-hostable way to build and push a static site. There was forestry but they discontinued it for a paid service.
