  This is something that doesn’t really need to be self hosted unless you’re wanting the experience. You just need:

  1. Static website builder. I use hugo but there’s a few others like jekyll, astro
  2. Use a git forge (github, gitlab, codeberg).
  3. Use your forges Pages feature, there’s also cloudflare pages. Stay away from netlify imo. Each of these you can set up to use your own domain

  So for my website i just write new content, push to my forge, and then a pipeline builds and releases the update on my website.

  Where self hosting comes into play is that it could make some things with static websites easier, like some comment systems, contact forms, etc. But you can still do all of this without self hosting. Comments can be handled through git issues (utteranc.es) and for a contact form i use ‘hero tofu’ free tier. In the end i don’t have to worry about opening access to my ports and can still have a static website with a contact form.

  Im not familiar with doku wiki but here’s a few thoughts

  • privacy policy is good to have regardless of what you do with rest of my comments
  • your site is creating a cookie “dokuwiki” for user tracking.
  • cookie is created regardless of user agreement, rather than waiting for acceptance (implied or explicit agreement). As in i visit the page, i click nothing and i already have the dokuwiki cookie.
  • i like umami analytics for a cookieless google analytics alternative. They have a generous free cloud option for hobby users and umami is also self hostable. Then you can get rid of any banner.

  I have had the same experience. Have used all three at some point but mostly use nginx for new servers
