buster

I use Jekyll for most of my blogs. For my company's, we needed multiple authors including non-technical people, so we couldn't use git for that. I recently discovered Ghost which I highly recommend: * https://ghost.org/ * Kickstarted in 2013 * Markdown-based * Open source, self-hostable * Hosted solution (https://ghost.org/pricing/) with support for your own domain name * Beautiful themes out of the box with custom css/js on an article, site-wide or theme level * Third party static site generation tools (https://github.com/axitkhurana/buster/, https://github.com/lexoyo/static-ghost) Example blog (default theme): https://blog.ghost.org/

That's the idea behind Buster for the Ghost blog framework (run Ghost locally or on a highly restricted web server then generate a static site from it you upload somewhere else) but it doesn't look maintained unfortunately: https://github.com/axitkhurana/buster I'd be very interested to know about more solutions like the above as it doesn't seem well explored. I've had some success running WordPress on Heroku (uploads go to AWS S3 and the database is hosted on AWS RDS) which I much prefer to the way typical VPSs are administrated. The Heroku filesystem doesn't allow the WordPress PHP files to be altered, you can't SSH in to the live server and you can recreate and rollback the whole server state in seconds if there are any problems. Either way, the more static the better in terms of minimising the attack surface and admin time in my opini

I've been using Ghost with Github Pages: http://ruenzuo.github.io/, I'm running a local instance of Ghost and using this static site generator: https://github.com/axitkhurana/buster
