quartz VS Hugo

As others have pointed out you don't "host" Obsidian - it's just a local collection of markdown files. But if you're asking about a self-hosted alternative to "Obsidian Publish" for creating a knowledgebase that others can answer, I'm Quartz[0], a static-site generator designed to turn Obsidian markdown files into a website. I'm building and it and hosting it on Gitlab Pages at work[1].

I wonder if https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz was considered for this, though that project is more setup as an open source Obsidian publish replacement than a private PKMS

Shout out to Quartz, which produces a site similar to Obsidian Publish: https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/

(I would use Obsidian Publish, but it rendered far too slowly on some pages. I do use their excellent sync service though.)

https://quartz.jzhao.xyz/ + cloudflare, write in obsidian and publish with a git push

A few days back, I wrote a blog post about static site generators, in particular how I decided to migrate my blog from Zola to Hugo. One of my points was to be able to hack my own content before generating the final HTML.

This post is a summary of my recent decision to go back to Hugo after using Zola. I also report on how LLM assistants with Web access can aid in such decisions, not as an authority but as a research assistant.

Hugo is a fast and flexible static site generator built in Go, known for its speed and large theme ecosystem. It supports markdown, taxonomies, multilingual content, and powerful templating with minimal dependencies. Hugo is highly performant and well-suited for building large-scale documentation sites. It’s ideal for teams seeking speed and customization with minimal runtime requirements.

Try Hugo[1]. In depends on a template you choose alone whether Hugo will generate a landing page, a website, a blog, etc.

The content of the guide lives in a single Markdown file, content/_index.md. The website is built using Hugo.

Every PKMS/BASB needs a search functionality. Ever since I've created brainfck to host my own collection of thoughts/ideas/resources (aka Zettelkasten) I wanted to be able to actually search within my collection of org-roam based notes. Meanwhile for all my sites I own (this blog, my CV/portfolio, brainfck and defersec) I use hugo. All of them didn't have proper search capabilities. That's why I was looking for a proper way to include search functionalities without any major effort.

This project demonstrates how to deploy a static website using Hugo and Pulumi on AWS S3. Hugo is a fast static site generator, and Pulumi is an infrastructure-as-code tool that allows you to define cloud resources using TypeScript. The site is deployed to an S3 bucket configured as a static website, with public access enabled for viewing.

It was long my desire to write a blog with stuff that interests me. Lately i was studying Golang and i came across Hugo which is a really nice and fast site generation utility. This was a great opportunity to start my own blog by using Hugo and Github Pages in order to host it. Why?
