I hear you because I needed the same, with absolutely no experience in web apps. Please listen to other comments first. If this does not help: I used github.com/tiangolo/full-stack-fastapi-postgresql - it is a Docker-Stack that can be deployed through Gitlab CI on Docker Swarm. Not that I had any experience in these systems - but it directly worked and I had a Progressive Web App (PWA) with CRUD, SSL certs, Queue, Reverse Proxy and everything with it in one day. This thing still runs after 2 years.

I may have to look into this. I was already feeling pretty good that I was able to send http requests to my app. But I guess this solves the “how to connect this to the world” side of it? I haven’t looked at it but I assume you still add your logic right?

Yes, for the actual CRUD there exists a template, but _what_ you want to create, read, update and delete must be defined first (e.g. text and images). You would need to add display-syntax, too - to present what is read to users.

If you just need to display text+image posts, have you thought about a static site generator? E.g. Hugo, Mkdocs, Jekyll.. you can hook these up through Gitlab/Github Continuous Integration and have it automatically serve site updates on new git commits.

Im not OP. I’m building a searchable library of DNA similar to genbank. I do need to store text and images but not in a blog way

There are many themes. Mkdocs material is a static site generator that is very flexible, more oriented towards tech documentation. Most Jekyll/Hugo themes are for blogs, but it is not limited to this. It can be combined with search. If it requires a database, however, a static site generator appears the wrong direction..
