Hello everyone! I was thinking about starting a website where to dump some guides on stuff Iearn about selfhosting and general IT stuff.

I don't want a WordPress or similar. I want static pages (but I'm ok with some JavaScript for navigation maybe, or for proper display on different kind of devices). Ideally I'd like to host it on an AWS S3 bucket since it has the built-in option for static hosting.

I could even go back to the '90s and do it myself from scratch in textedit and html by hand, but I'm pretty sure there are better options out there.

I took a look at Hugo but even that it seems overly complicated for what I need.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!

I had a workflow a few years ago where I ran and configured a local drupal instance, then ran this HTTrack tool which would export all the pages and images to flat HTML which I then zipped and pushed to an S3 bucket to host the website. Worked great because it just needed to host info, no comments or accounts or anything.
