Also php driven https://getgrav.org has a webui admin panel which can replace it's CLI admin tool chain. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
I took a more traditional approach, focusing on something that's "good enough", which in my case was a cheap VPS and an install of Grav: https://getgrav.org/ Some optional customization for page templates/fonts/CSS, some CI so I can build and deploy it inside of a Docker container, Matomo for analytics that respect privacy (which I already use elsewhere) and some additional web server configuration to hide... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
I'd check out Grav. https://getgrav.org/. Source: 11 months ago
Also, there is a CMS called Grav. Both Gravity and Grav use a very similar (but not identical) font for their logo. Source: 12 months ago
I would use a flat file cms like https://getgrav.org. Source: about 1 year ago
As an alternative to a static site with Hugo you can use grav for dynamic sites. Can't use it with GitHub pages, of course, but it does allow you to add searches and such to your site, while still writing your content in markdown files. Source: about 1 year ago
If not, then it's grav cms which is more than enough for you. Source: about 1 year ago
I moved my personal blog to Grav a couple of years ago: https://pathar.tl/ https://getgrav.org/ There are plugins for WordPress to generate markdown files from your posts and then you can import that into Grav. I self-host this in Docker and find it much more pleasing to actually write things. Statamic is another similar markdown-based CMS that I've been eyeballing. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
Another area of CMS Systems are Flat File System based CMS which I did last time not hear a lot around but there was a lot of noice in the past from Kirby CMS and Grav CMS. Instead of a database they store all there data inside files and I mostly saw more for simpler website build with it where not specific security releated user context based content where used.

I would recommend Grav or Kirby (if your site is less than 50 pages) or Craft if your site is larger than that. Craft is especially nice. I has an incredibly powerful developer experience and an incredibly refined editor experience. Those 2 don't often go together. Grav and Kirby are nice in that they give you all the nice features of a CMS, but don't require a database, so they're trivially easy to stand up... Source: over 1 year ago
So, I looked for some alternatives and stumbled upon stuff like Statamic, Grav, or Craft. The features sound super cool and it looks just awesome! Just what I need. But then there's the thing called... installation. Via package managers. npm. Composer. Terminal commands. YIKES. In my imagination, I just install it on my webspace (web hosting provider, shared hosting), similar to e.g. WordPress, and configure it... Source: over 1 year ago
Well that’s a loads of arse. In that case build something with Grav or similar static generator like Jekyll. Source: over 1 year ago
The CMS I use for personal projects is Strapi (https://strapi.io/). It can be used as either a dynamic CMS or static site generator and it's a powerful JavaScript backend. However, for beginners who might not want to use Wordpress, I recommend Grav (https://getgrav.org/). Instead of using a database, it uses a flat-file architecture which means your web server only requires PHP. And once you learn the Twig... Source: over 1 year ago
If you like craft, but want something a little lighter, check out Grav. Source: almost 2 years ago
> I had that idea at least 1-2 years ago, and I've only recently written my first post within the past 2 months. I think I enjoy tinkering with build systems much more than writing. This is very much an easy trap to fall into! What helped me was not sweating over the small stuff and setting up an instance of Grav, though I think that most of the turnkey blogging solutions out there would work (e.g. Ghost/Bolt as... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
I have always liked grav https://getgrav.org/. Source: almost 2 years ago
Not mine, I just found this online, as I wanted to suggest using grav as a CMS for your portfolio site, as I've really enjoyed it with my website (which is not a portfolio). Source: almost 2 years ago
The Grav CMS also internally uses Markdown for the page contents and generates static files: https://getgrav.org/ They do use YAML FrontMatter for attaching metadata so the CMS knows how to process certain pages (e.g. Page title, page type etc.), but it isn't too complicated in practice: https://learn.getgrav.org/17/content/content-pages#page-file They also have an admin plugin, which you can use if you prefer a... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
One of my blog articles got on the front page of HN a while ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29185971 In total, I saw roughly around 27'000 views, which meant just short of 8 GB of data being transferred and in my case over 500'000 files being requested (given all of the CSS files, images, JavaScript etc.). Now, the blog held out fine, because it was based on Grav, which means that it ends up being a... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
My personal blog runs on Grav, a flat-file CMS: https://getgrav.org/ It was really simple to set up as a Docker container, it is pretty fast due to not having a backing database but instead being file based, allows for some customization in the form of plugins (e.g. RSS/Atom feeds), is themeable and also reasonably secure (as long as you consider using additional auth in front of /admin, though the admin module... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
There are couple great solutions that fit points you describe. One of them is [Statamic}(https://statamic.dev/blade) which is IMO the best flat-file CMS currently available with a lot of flexibility if you're dev and want to extend to it (it's free for solo writers). Another one that I know is [GravCMS](https://getgrav.org/). I didn't have much experience with Grav, but it looks OK. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
