Soupault: A static website management tool
Those have complicated stacks that likely won't serve the person that can't grasp a CLI SSG.
https://getpublii.com has a simple GUI and is just a directory on your computer (inside the Dropbox directory for crude backup?).

Show HN: Pages CMS – A CMS for GitHub
Very nice! It looks a bit like Publii [0], but the editor part is cloud hosted instead of running as an app on your machine.

The theory versus the practice of “static websites”
I haven't used it, but Publii[0] might be along the lines of what you're thinking of. I ran across it in a previous HN discussion, and it seems to be static site generator with a pretty user-friendly graphical interface.

Should I set up my own server?
- own server costs about $5/month. I recommend using docker to deploy hbbr and hbbs. Back up the key in case you need to re-deploy. You do need to secure your Linux server, and this community-driven Github guide has some good tips to get started.

Automating the security hardening of a Linux server
I have been using the How To Secure A Linux Server guide for quite a while and wanted to learn Ansible, so I created two playbooks to automate most of the guides content. The playbooks are still a work in progress.

Connecting to docker containers rarely work, including via Caddy (non docker) reverse proxy
If it works, I will then follow the hardening guide I did before (https://github.com/imthenachoman/How-To-Secure-A-Linux-Server) and test after every step

Ask HN: How can a total beginner start with self-hosting
> In short it’s all about control, privacy, and security, in that order.
I am going to strongly urge you to consider changing that order and move *security* to the first priority. I have long run my own servers, it is much easier to setup a server with strong security foundation, than to clean up afterwards.
As a beginner, you should stick to a well known and documented Linux server distribution such as Ubuntu Server LTS or Fedora. Only install the programs you need. Do not install a windowing system on it. Do everything for the server from the command line.
Here are a few blog posts I have bookmarked over the years that I think are geared to beginners:
"My First 5 Minutes On A Server; Or, Essential Security for Linux Servers": An quick walk through of how to do basic server security manually [1]. There was a good Hacker News discussion about this article, most of the response suggests using tools to automate these types of security tasks [2], however the short tutorial will teach you a great deal, and automation mostly only makes sense when you are deploying a number of similar servers. I definitely take a more manual hands-on approach to managing my personal servers compared to the ones I professionally deploy.
"How To Secure A Linux Server": An evolving how-to guide for securing a Linux server that, hopefully, also teaches you a little about security and why it matters. [3]
Both Linode[4] and Digital Ocean[5] have created good sets of Tutorials and documentation that are generally trustworthy and kept up-to-date
Good luck and have fun
