For those interested in self-hosting, here's a site that maintains a collection of self-hostable services.

That website lists Hugo, the static site generator. What kind of self-hostable service does Hugo provide??? Confusing info like this makes me doubt the rest of the entries on that page.

The comment you replied to said it was a site about "self-hostable services". The site doesn't claim to be just about "self-hostable services".

How do you host Hugo? I understand that you can host a site generated by hugo, but how do you host Hugo itself?

I can tell you that technically Hugo has to be somewhere you control to generate a website, but I don't see the point in that discussion.

The list I can see on the site seems to be of tools you can self host or can help you create something that you can self host. That's it. It doesn't make sense to blame a site because a comment on HN didn't correctly describe the content of the website... like, the problem is the comment, not the site.
