I am looking for self hosted blog/journal that is private by default. Not looking to host a public blog, rather something that I can write more personal entries on and is easy to read later. I want to be able to include multimedia in the entries.

Currently I’m thinking of a Mastodon server with posts set to private by default and turning off federation. It would be awesome to be able to post from my phone as events happen rather than having to find time later.

I’ve tried around with using IMAP and an email client, but not sold on it. Tried using a calendar, but too cludgy.

Open to other ideas!

    Hey, I’m pretty much in the same boat. I like bookstack for its mature features but I wish there was something more tailored to shared journaling although that is a bit specific. Have you changed something?

      Well she stopped using it so I deleted the instance (just too busy with small children). For the time that she was using it Bookstack seemed to have me her needs once a cohesive breakdown was established (translating Bookstack hierarchy and matching it up with her topics).
