Ah. I'm running HA out of docker currently and haven't hit any walls, but I'm not exactly pushing it. There's an annoyance where I have to tell HA to trust my docker's default IP, and there was some reverse-proxy messing around I had to do to get it working on my network. Once it's up and loaded, it's indistinguishably HomeAssistant.
Oh, Statamic is a BYOFE (Bring Your Own Front End). Out of the box, it gives you a templating language that you can take or leave. You are 100% responsible for all HTML, CSS, and whatever JS you feel like bringing to the table. There's no handling of colors or anything to override, because that's all on you. SSG is a mode it has, it's not the default.
It's pretty close to being a flat-file ExpressionEngine, if that helps.
What limits did you hit?
This is solved by slapping your design's color scheme on the <body>, correct?
Also:
- text highlight colors are jacked
- yellow-on-pink is a no-no
Are you injecting a dark mode?
It is extremely more than that.
As for the server, I recommend to start with the cheapest hosting available (e.g. $5/month vps) and move on to a bigger server if it proves to be too small to handle your site’s traffic.
This is correct.
If you're asking about CPU, RAM, and bandwidth then, "you don't have a problem until it's a problem." Redline the cheapest option until it catches fire.
If you want a 100% uptime website that can handle surge traffic but also costs basically nothing when it's not being used, you're going to want to avoid traditional CMSs like Wordpress and learn to code. Deploy 11ty to Netlify with the understanding that if you're irresponsible with forms or suddenly blow through your bandwidth you're going to pay for the service to scale to meet demand.
If you absolutely must have a CMS, I'd recommend Statamic because it can act as an SSG and deploy to Netlify (which means you use the CMS as a local devtool only - no logging in over the internet). It's another one of those "bring your own front end" CMSs, but their Antlers templating language is completely fine.
Since you posted this into a self-hosting community...
You are the alternative to SquareSpace. Grab a Raspberry Pi, slap nginx proxy manager and ddclient into it, and point your domain to your home IP.
From the web development side of things? Eleventy is my pick for SSG. For a novice, the best part about using 11ty is that it supports a ton of different front end templating languages. That means you can find which one you like the best without having to hello world a million times. Keep your content as markdown and pass it into Nunjucks, WEBC, Vue, fuckin' whatever.
I maintain that Metro was a very good mobile UI.
Clarity:
NPM (Nginx Proxy Manager) != npm (node package manager).
