Any wordpress alternative without SQL database?

So I have a 128MB RAM VPS and everytime I export and import the backups from one place to another all the code snippets I posted in the blog gets mangled. Is there a wordpress alternative for a 128mb ram VPS where I get the same features like wordpress - pages, posts, menu, a search box and a syntax highlighter plugin to randomly use it as a journal and post code snippets? I dont like ghost.org CMS. Searching for something extremely light on resources.

    Your usage sounds like you'd benefit more from a personal wiki, not a blog-style CMS.
    I use dokuwiki (with the monobook theme, imitating the old Wikipedia design) on https://romanrm.net/ and naturally that's what I'd recommend. It does not use any DB, not even SQLite, plain files only.

    Willing to pay only 15USD a year to ramnode for this. It will be used like a journal to find things quickly when I need something.

    Do you use any syntax highlighter plugin for DokuWiki or code tags are enough?

    I believe it came with syntax highlighting for many languages out of the box, I don't remember installing any plugin for that manually.

    No thanks the ramnode plan I am currently on is pretty cheap. 128mb ram with 80 gb SSD cached storage at Netherlands( 167 ping from my location) at 15USD/yr (1.25USD a month)

  • I have flatpress and getsimple with vestacp in a 128MB ram vps, it works fine.

    Thats fine i never used ram node i use drserver for running my production applications and never looked back.

  • why not use sqlite ?

  • I used some blog software that you could upload text files and that was turned into "posts" but this was a very long time ago. I guess "flat file CMS" on Github / Sourceforge / Freshcode is what you could look for.

    Run Wordpress on SQLite. That's what I did before switching to Ghost.

    Thumbs up for https://www.dokuwiki.org/ @mikho has created the lowendspirit wiki (still new) using that and has it auto syncing over 5 lowendspirit locations with geoDNS.

    little flag in the top right shows you which location you hit.

    I think he is playing with it atm. CF still shows the site though which is the other advantage of this :)

  • MDWiki -- what I'm using as a wiki styled blog.

  • If you wanna keep WordPress and nix the DB overheard look at --

    I've had this on a 128MB for a couple months, without any issues.

    getsimple cms with plugins?

  • ztecztec Member

    The features you need sound like something that even I could code.

    It's still not geoDNS ready, still using a DNS round-robin.

    Looks like the JP location is down.
    That breaks it if you get that location when asking the DNS server at cloudflare.

    It is still a work in progress to automate to full HA.
    I have a monitor node in the UK which have been a victim of a DDoS the last few days so I had to disable all actions because of the false connection errors.

    Locations are currently:
    IT.
    UK.
    US.
    JP.

    The goal is to have one in each LES location with GeoDNS and failover.

    The question has been asked before in this thread http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/2133/ask-lightweight-php-script

    Perhaps one of those is good enough?

    I agree, getsimple has plugins for many needs and even a big community, it is "light" but with the most diverse functions.
