I originally made Serene Bach in the 2000s as a weblog engine written in Perl CGI. I rebuilt it from scratch in Go as a single binary that can run either as a CGI program or as a normal HTTP server.

I know CGI is generally considered legacy technology now, but I still rely on it for shared hosting. In this version, I added Markdown support, a responsive default theme, Open Graph image generation, and static output generation.

It is still in beta, but the repository includes a Docker image published on GHCR, documentation, and a local quick start. I'd appreciate feedback from anyone interested in small self-hosted publishing tools, especially if you still care about shared hosting or CGI-style deployment.
