I’m very new to self host, so apologies if I say things wrong.
Anyway, I’m looking for comment systems that I can deploy to fly.io (or similar systems but not Heroku) for my static pages (Jekyll) that comes with Codeberg/Sourcehut pages. I found staticman but it assumes Github/Gitlab.
Thanks!
The folks at Jekyll seem to recommend Talkyard:
https://jekyllrb.com/resources/
I’m not super familiar with this as I was just looking into it myself from your post but figured I’d highlight that for ya.
Edit: seems their link is broken so here’s a working one:
https://blog-comments.talkyard.io/
thanks, and that’s great that this can be used for other static pages as well.
stupid general question: in the “install it yourself” guide, they say that this needs to be run on a VPS, for example with DigitalOcean. I’m thinking of deploying on fly.io, which I understand is like an alternative for Heroku. Is there a conceptual difference between these types of solutions (DigitalOcean vs fly.io for example) that might affect hosting?
That talkyard seems cool
Is it difficult to run?
