  I use Nikola and it hasn’t let me down. It just works and supports all the ways I write content: markdown, asciidoc, rest, Jupiter Notebooks, html and so on. It does not have so many themes, but the default one works and it’s not hard to customise if needed. If you like to use python it’s also easy to extend. I’ve written a bit about Nikola here in case it picks your interest.

  I’ve deployed it to CloudFlare pages, but GitHub pages, Gitlab pages and any other provider also work.

  If you don’t need CI/CD I don’t see any reasons to choose Girish over gitea. But I’m still testing gitea so take my words with a grain of salt :)

  At work we selfhost gitlab (paid) and I’m checking gitea for my own projects. They have a good comparison table at docs.gitea.com/installation/comparison

  Do you also need CI/CD?

  I’m happy it helped.
  I tried many systems (paperless and it’s derívales also) and I found docspell is a lot easier to use and has all the features I need.

  • I can archive emails by moving them to a category and docspell converts it to pdf and saves it to the database.
  • I can choose a file system storage or a database storage. I chose database storage (Postgres, which is also the default) because is a lot easier to backup)
  • I love the way I can categorize the files by adding recipient and sender. That way I can filter all the files related to a specific person.
  • I can export all the files in a filter to a zip file.
  • I can batch edit.

  That as a summary :)

  My only recommendations are

  • to deploy it using a tag in docker and not using automatically the latest version. That way you are in control of the updates.
  • And always do database backups :) (using a tag in docker means you can always redeploy a specific version.

  I use docspell and I find it great. It runs on VM on an old microserver running proxmox.

  There is also Mayan edms based on Django, but it has to many features for my use case.
