I have the same. A cloud instance at Hetzner, nginx as webserver using certbot 
for automatic SSL generation. I also use a static site generator which I wrote 
myself to produce my blog https://norbert.hartl.name 
 . I use the skeleton CSS library which is tiny 
and understandable and does not need tons of markup.

This is one of my playgrounds for pillar and microdown. I think pharo settles 
around this combination to produce documents which is very well suited to 
produce a website, too.
