Doing basic system tasks requires re-learning how to do it the Guix way, and it is getting annoying, so I'm moving my server to Trisquel.

Services I'm interested in setting up:

* Jellyfin
* Nextcloud
* Hoppy with Wireguard
* PeerTube
* Website
* Snikket
* Pleroma
* Mail
* NAS

I'm debating whether to run WordPress or continue using Haunt static site generator for the website. I'm wanting to make an IndieWeb site.

What do you think? Do you have any tips?

From my end, I prefer static site generator (SSG) for the following reasons:

- I can keep my data locally, in Markdown files in my case.
- I can use a version control tool, git.
- I can turn bits of an email I wrote to someone, or a note I have locally, into a post or a page by converting that file into Markdown and moving that file to ~/website, where my site lives locally (I do this from Mutt, for emails, using vim).
- I can edit or post new entries without logging into an interface: I can cd into the repository locally add/edit a file, build the updated site and then run 'git add file', 'git commit', and finally deploy the updated build to a Virtual Machine using rsync.
- if I wanted to switch SSG, I can possibly modify all the Markdown files with a script to adapt their formatting to the requirements of the new SSG I would want to use.

If I needed to use such services, I would look for an organisation that is running an instance of, say, NextCloud and use their instance against a small donation. For instance, disroot.org runs an instance of NextCloud. That said, you might need to run your own instance for reasons we don't know.

I have installed Nginx on a Virtual Machine running Trisquel, and I am hosting static sites on there, using SSGs. I can share more info if that's interesting to you.
