What Blogifier is

Blogifier is a free, open-source publishing platform for personal or group blogs and websites. It is self-hosted and can be deployed from source or with Docker Compose. Written in ASP.NET and Blazor WebAssembly, its current source can be built on Windows and Linux; macOS is not tested. After startup, users open the application in a browser at localhost:5000, or localhost:8080 with Docker Compose. Theme customization uses custom code. The project is released under the MIT License, while the current build is labeled unreleased and described as more suitable for developers to build and use themselves. The README says many functions are still missing and invites feature proposals through issues and pull requests. Building requires the .NET 7.0 SDK and Node.js 14 or later. Security patches apply to the most recent version, with version 2.9.x.x identified as currently supported.
