I’m very new to self host, so apologies if I say things wrong.
Anyway, I’m looking for comment systems that I can deploy to fly.io (or similar systems but not Heroku) for my static pages (Jekyll) that comes with Codeberg/Sourcehut pages. I found staticman but it assumes Github/Gitlab.
thanks, and that’s great that this can be used for other static pages as well.
stupid general question: in the “install it yourself” guide, they say that this needs to be run on a VPS, for example with DigitalOcean. I’m thinking of deploying on fly.io, which I understand is like an alternative for Heroku. Is there a conceptual difference between these types of solutions (DigitalOcean vs fly.io for example) that might affect hosting?
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: [email protected]
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.
Rules:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
The folks at Jekyll seem to recommend Talkyard:

I’m not super familiar with this as I was just looking into it myself from your post but figured I’d highlight that for ya.
Edit: seems their link is broken so here’s a working one:

That talkyard seems cool
Is it difficult to run?
