Comment on Selfhosted private/secure blog/journal

Try joplinapp.org . You can self-host your database with something like Nextcloud or Apache Server using WebDAV. I moved from StandardNotes after they got tricky about Self-hosting.
I use Joplin for keeping various notes and would rather not combine it with my journal.
I’m looking for something like DayOne or billthefarmers Diary app that is easy to use from mobile, but then has a selfhosted website I can use to go back and review/relive/edit the experiences.
This is the same issue I have with Joplin! I need to get like multiple installations or databases to keep things separated. It’s all a mess.
I also used to self-host StandardNotes, but I didn’t like the user experience in the front end. The editor plug-in configuration was way too complicated for me. All I want is markdown. Several years ago I switched to Joplin.
How did StandardNotes “get tricky” about self-hosting? I must have switched by then.
Every time I upgraded the StandardNotes self hosting docker instance, some configuration setting changed and I had to go figure out what had changed and update it. Then they started to require some sort of a key to actually self-host. They were giving out free keys to users who were grandfathered-in but that left a bad taste in my mouth.

I also recommend Jopin - I’ve moved my entire journal over to Joplin and use it as a primary note source now.
