Ask HN: Which blogging platform do you use?

I use Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/) which generates static html pages from templates and your blog posts written in markdown. The advantage of this is that I can put my entire blog in git. Also there is no database needed, which makes hosting much easier.

I generate the static html and then put them inside a docker container to deploy. The host is a bare metal server (not free but cheap) with docker installed.

Both of these blogs use Jekyll + Docker as described above:

I use middleman[1]. There is a blog plugin which is very handy.

I used to use github for hosting but I wanted to have SSL so I moved the blog to my UPS.

Just curious to hear if you tried GitHub Pages as a Jekyll host first and if something missing there led you to self-host.

I tried GitHub pages, I found 2 issues :

1) the ease of publishing on various platforms is a limitation.

2) the load time of the website is high.

Does Jekyll support including Disqus comments?
