It's hosted on a computer located inside my apartment. It used to be hosted on a cheap Synology NAS. No Cloudflare or CDN or anything like that, just a bare NGINX server.

The website itself is built on Jekyll, but I want to switch to something else because I don't use Ruby/Gem for anything else and I can't be bothered to commit that stack to memory just for that.

Is there a particular stack you prefer?

If JS, maybe consider Astro (for simple blogs)? It has built-in MDX support and deploys in a few seconds.

There's also Ghost, but it's a bit more complex. It has both a paid cloud version now and also the FOSS self-hosted version: https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost

If PHP, maybe https://getgrav.org/?

For Go or a prebuilt binary, maybe https://gohugo.io/?

    I'm a low-level kind of person, both at work and at home. My requirements are static site only, hosted locally and no fuss (if I need to look up how to install the associated ecosystem or deal with a package manager it's out).

    If I had to migrate right now I'd probably go with Hugo.
