Any wordpress alternative without SQL database?
So I have a 128MB RAM VPS and everytime I export and import the backups from one place to another all the code snippets I posted in the blog gets mangled. Is there a wordpress alternative for a 128mb ram VPS where I get the same features like wordpress - pages, posts, menu, a search box and a syntax highlighter plugin to randomly use it as a journal and post code snippets? I dont like ghost.org CMS. Searching for something extremely light on resources.

Why not get 2x 128gb vps one with php apache and the other with mysql
check out @drserver dirtcheap ninja
Your usage sounds like you'd benefit more from a personal wiki, not a blog-style CMS.
I use dokuwiki (with the monobook theme, imitating the old Wikipedia design) on https://romanrm.net/ and naturally that's what I'd recommend. It does not use any DB, not even SQLite, plain files only.

Willing to pay only 15USD a year to ramnode for this. It will be used like a journal to find things quickly when I need something.
Do you use any syntax highlighter plugin for DokuWiki or code tags are enough?
I believe it came with syntax highlighting for many languages out of the box, I don't remember installing any plugin for that manually.
dirtcheap ninja is 50 cents a month.

No thanks the ramnode plan I am currently on is pretty cheap. 128mb ram with 80 gb SSD cached storage at Netherlands( 167 ping from my location) at 15USD/yr (1.25USD a month)
I have flatpress and getsimple with vestacp in a 128MB ram vps, it works fine.
Thats fine i never used ram node i use drserver for running my production applications and never looked back.
why not use sqlite ?
I used some blog software that you could upload text files and that was turned into "posts" but this was a very long time ago. I guess "flat file CMS" on Github / Sourceforge / Freshcode is what you could look for.
Run Wordpress on SQLite. That's what I did before switching to Ghost.
@SkylarM may have a $15/yr plan with more RAM.

Tiddlywiki - the whole wiki runs in JavaScript :-)
Thumbs up for https://www.dokuwiki.org/ @mikho has created the lowendspirit wiki (still new) using that and has it auto syncing over 5 lowendspirit locations with geoDNS.

little flag in the top right shows you which location you hit.
It's down.
I think he is playing with it atm. CF still shows the site though which is the other advantage of this
MDWiki -- what I'm using as a wiki styled blog.
If you wanna keep WordPress and nix the DB overheard look at --

I've had this on a 128MB for a couple months, without any issues.
getsimple cms with plugins?
The features you need sound like something that even I could code.
It's still not geoDNS ready, still using a DNS round-robin.
Looks like the JP location is down.
That breaks it if you get that location when asking the DNS server at cloudflare.
It is still a work in progress to automate to full HA.
I have a monitor node in the UK which have been a victim of a DDoS the last few days so I had to disable all actions because of the false connection errors.
Locations are currently:
IT.
UK.
US.
JP.
The goal is to have one in each LES location with GeoDNS and failover.
The question has been asked before in this thread http://lowendtalk.com/discussion/2133/ask-lightweight-php-script
Perhaps one of those is good enough?
I agree, getsimple has plugins for many needs and even a big community, it is "light" but with the most diverse functions.
You can try out lots of CMS demos here: opensourcecms.com
Flatpress
nibbleblog it's xml file based
HTMLy is file based. Its lovable :-)
Thanks a lot guys. Keep them coming.
Anchorcms with sqlite. Lovely and lightweight
