<![CDATA[looking for lightweight ghost blog alternative]]>My blog is currently running on Ghost 1.0
I'm blogging for almost 20 years, started with blogger.com I think, eventually migrated to self-hosted Ghost when it was pretty new and lightweight. I can host anything that runs on Linux, I can even use Docker.

I don't want to migrate to the latest Ghost version because it feels very enterprisey now, needs a lot of resources on the server and uses a complex data format instead of Markdown. I don't need monetization either.

My requirements are:

  • possible to migrate ~30-40 Markdown posts + embedded images from Ghost 1.0
  • future proof, i.e. simple data format so I don't get locked in
  • low RAM/CPU usage
  • easy maintenance, creating posts, backups, etc
  • RSS support

I'll be very grateful for any suggestions.
