Hey hello, self-hosting noob here. I just want to know if anyone would know a good way to host my writing. Something akin to those webcomic sites, except for writing. Multiple stories with their own “sections” (?) and a chapter selection for each. Maybe a home page or profile page to just briefly detail myself or whatever, I don’t know. It doesn’t have to be fancy, and I apologize for not knowing how to describe this well. I’ve just been searching and searching and I don’t know what to look up to find what I want, it’s extremely frustrating. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    The other day I saw someone hosting their blog on a GitHub repository.

    Just using markdown files and folders to organise it to their liking.

    If you are writing stories you could use a similar approach. A folder per story then subfolders for chapters. Then having the main page have links each story’s folder with links to each chapter inside.

      Sounds like GitHub Pages.

      Apart from that, I like GRAV for small website projects. It works completely without a database (or in other words: it uses the filesystem as the database that it basically is) and backups/restores are simple copying everything to the right place.
