Do you have any open source and self-hosted recommendation?
As for hosting, hosting HTML pages is super easy. The lowest effort for Hugo is GitHub Pages. Netlify is another solid option. https://andrew-quinn.me/ runs on Azure Static Web Apps, but that might take more cloud familiarity than you want to invest in. Or you could just run `hugo` and SCP the resulting directory to a VM!
Plus I like that I can literally click a button in Obsidian which formats a note, compresses/optimizes the media, and pushes it up to my website. Frictionless blog posting FTW.

Though... recently I've been thinking about swapping over to Astro because the grass is always greener.
install, add firewall like wordfence, change max failed logins to low number.
turn on auto updates for WP and the plugins and themes.
Pull backups auto and free with updraft plugin.
enjoy the massive amount of themes and support around the www
https://steveiscritical.com uses base WP with default theme, I have several others that mod the themeing more.
bonus - skip tutorials that use page builders like elementor - base gutenberg does most the things out of the box these days, not need for extra bloat to be fancy.

I currently host on Netlify because it’s free but you could easily sync the generated HTML files to a box you manage.
I'd use plain HTML+CSS, but Zola adds some nice tools (like markdown rendering). It lives in a single binary, so I don't mind it. Hosted on GitHub pages.
I like that I can just write stuff in Notion and have it magically appear on a webpage with decent formatting. Not perfect, but fairly easy to setup, customize and maintain.
The usp is friction free super simple blogging, self-hosted.
If you don’t mind using something under construction, I’d love to head any feedback.
