I love the Dells I use. They’re wonderful little workhorses, and I got a pretty good deal as they used to mine chia cryptocurrency.
That’s pretty slick!

It is a GUI app you use locally. It renders out the finished files. And yes it supports markdown formatting.
Don’t use it if you don’t want to man. I was just offering an alternative that might happen to fit your lifestyle. If not, don’t.
I use Publii, which is a local application that supports markdown pages, has an interface similar to a CMS, and renders the entire site out to static html files that you upload to any web server. It can dump to a local folder, or ftp the files for you. It has a lot of good themes, and a blank theme that you can use to get started if you want to roll your own like I did.
You are on the right path. Most stuff people self host requires very little horsepower. Most of your CPU will be idle in the end. Things might get expensive if you want to add a lot of storage, but the good news is that can be added later as you need it. I think you’ll be surprised just how much a modern-ish laptop can host.
