Comentario, a fast, lightweight, privacy focused open source comment server that adds self hosted comments to any website as an alternative to hosted commenting services.
Overview
Comentario is a free, open source comment server for web pages, a self hosted alternative to hosted commenting services. A single lightweight service serves an embeddable comments widget you drop into any site with a snippet of HTML, plus a full administration interface for managing domains, pages, users, moderation and comment threads, all backed by a PostgreSQL database. It is privacy focused, does not track readers, supports Markdown, threaded replies, voting, moderation and multiple sign in options, and exposes an API for automation. It suits bloggers, publishers, documentation sites and teams who want to own their comments and reader data rather than hand it to a third party.
Why the cloudimg image
cloudimg ships Comentario as its single Go service backed by PostgreSQL, running as a dedicated non-root system user, ready the moment the instance boots. The image is secure by default: it carries an empty database and no working credentials, and on each instance's first boot the PostgreSQL password is rotated to a unique value and an instance owner and administrator account is created through Comentario's own signup flow with a strong per instance password, written to a root only file, so no secret is ever shared between instances. Every deployment carries a paired deployment guide and 24/7 support.
Common uses
- Add fast, self hosted comments to a blog, publication or documentation site
- Own your readers' comments and data instead of using a hosted service
- Moderate threaded discussions across multiple domains from one admin console
