Decided to self-host the handful of code snippets I embedded into the blogposts over time.
This will be one less dependency on an external service (GitHub Gist) for running this site :-)

I choose Opengist for hosting my code snippets.
Although I already run a GitBucket instance, I decided not to use it for hosting the code snippets of the blog.
This because in the past I had some performance issues and crashes that were triggered by Bots overloading the Docker container.

The installation of Opengist went very smooth.
It does not come with many dependencies and brings it's own SQLite database file (which should be more than enough for the code snippets in the blog).

I was positively surprised by the MFA and seamless Passkey integration it provides out of the box.
Also can it be configured to allow embedding/sharing of snippets for everyone while restricting the listing and editing to logged in users only.
And as an additional security benefit it helps to reduce the complexity of my CSP policy 🔐

If you're curious to see how the code snippets are rendered, have a look at the blogposts here or here.
