Patterns for Personal Web Sites
In my experience, [Pelican](https://getpelican.com/) does a good job of allowing you to edit themes on all pages at once with its static page generator.
There are a lot of built in features designed more for blog-like websites, but I’ve found it pretty easy to make my personal website with it.

How to host final project (flask web application) on permanent server?
There's also Pelican but I haven't used it and seeing as Github serves static pages I'd imagine it builds and deploys your page and is done with it.

Ask HN: Which Python or Rust-based static site generators to use as of 2023?
I use Pelican (https://getpelican.com/) for my blog, which works decently for me. It is a static site generator written in Python.
But you probably won't learn much Python by using it (or Rust when using a generator written in it) since you probably won't need to change anything in it.

Creating a Python Wiki application
Surely a "local private wiki ... not web based ... on a desktop application" is not really a "wiki" at all, but rather a "static site generator" with a built-in "search". If that's what you want, there's a Python app called Pelican. Writing such an app from scratch isn't really a beginners project.

Trying to work around a Jekyll site-building tutorial without using Jekyll
You can - you'd basically just create a python script that parses your HTML/CSS files and replaces strings with values from your YAML. However I wouldn't recommend that unless you're just using this as an opportunity to learn Python. If you want to standup a real site and you want to use python, I'd recommend a Python static site generator like Pelican or Nikola.

Simplicity of IRC
Thank you for sharing the link to the source code. My simple site generator is based on my wife's project makesite.py[1]. In fact, I used her site generator for a few years before I went all in on Common Lisp for my personal projects. Then I reimplemented makesite.py in Common Lisp.

A good replacement for Drupal that is docker friendly?
I ended up using the developer-focused https://github.com/sunainapai/makesite , but I heard Hugo and Jekyll have plenty of themes that I assume can be dropped in. Good luck!

Blog about what you've struggled with
I've been using makesite.py, which is ~200 lines of python, dumping the picture in a pics folder and then hand editing the markdown.
Maybe a few lines of code and template work would let you add a custom template that would automatically add a folder worth of images.
