Selfhosted private/secure blog/journal (lemmy.world)

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!

Try https://joplinapp.org . You can self-host your database with something like Nextcloud or Apache Server using WebDAV. I moved from StandardNotes after they got tricky about Self-hosting.

I also recommend Joplin - I've moved my entire journal over to Joplin and use it as a primary note source now.

The mobile app UX is its weakness, but is fully functional.
