Hi everyone, I am running truenas scale on a modest home NAS. I have got some of my services tunneling to some subdomains via cloud flare zero trust and it seems to be fine. I am looking for advice on how to self host a blog and if I can continue that same method. It would be great to run it to the main domain instead of a sub domain, but honestly I don’t care too much. I expect none to very little traffic. I am looking for an app that I can run relatively easy and makes blogging for myself (images + text) as frictionless as possible. I am having trouble finding a guide for this and any that I do are on running much older versions of truenas scale.

I have heard good things about Ghost but couldn’t get it installed properly. Is Wordpress my best bet? I read somewhere that it can be sketchy opening up Wordpress to the internet so I am apprehensive. Any advice?

Hi all, this is my first post on Lemmy so I apologize if I get the formatting wrong. I am a tech nerd with just enough knowledge to follow YouTube tutorials but never truly understand what I’m doing. I recently created my own truenas scale server using an Aoostar R7 case. I am becoming a dad very soon and my wife and I are looking for ways to share photos of our baby without selling her and biometrics to the big cloud in the sky. The idea of my future daughter being tracked without her consent since birth is really gross to me.

I am wondering if there is a good, relatively simple and friendly way to share photo albums with relatives (normies) that is private and perhaps temporary. Ideally, I could share a private/unlisted link of sorts. I do have an instance of Immich and tunneled it to a web url but I don’t know if it can share with outside users easily.

There are a few public iOS apps that I believe do this but I don’t trust their servers/privacy policies. Any ideas that aren’t a massive headache or require command line guru-status to run?
